next week is election Tuesday
2021-Oct-26, Tuesday 05:50 pmI already ignore my phone, but now I ignore it multiple times a day. Strangers everywhere keep instant messaging or calling about the upcoming election. Mostly all about Proposition 2, which would create a new Department Of Public Safety (under which the police would go).
I think that all but 1 of my city council hopefuls have stated they are explicitly against Proposition 2. They warn against eliminating the police. They know that's a lie. Even the police know that's a lie.
They all know it's a lie, yet I have a pile of about 30 paper flyers from interested parties all trying to get me to vote a particular way on Prop 2, most of them repeating that big lie.
I'm voting FOR proposition 2 in Minneapolis next Tuesday. I want a Department Of Public Safety.

"The city of Minneapolis sent the following FAQ to police staff:
- Will all of the police department employees be out of a job on November 3 if the amendment passes? No. Current labor agreements will continue to be in place.
- Will we have to reapply for our jobs if a new department is created? No. Current labor agreements and City benefits will continue to be in place.
- Will there be police officers in the new department? Yes. State law requires that certain duties be performed only by licensed peace officers."
