Ilhan Omar, Keith Ellison support measure to replace Minneapolis Police Department
Fox News
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison have endorsed a Minneapolis ballot measure that would replace the city's police department with a new department of public safety.
Omar argued in an op-ed for the Star Tribune that the measure is a necessary step in ending police brutality and making communities safer. "The truth is the current system hasn't been serving our city for a long time," she wrote Tuesday. "I have long said we need a public safety system that is actually rooted in people's basic human needs."More Related News
