Five years ago today during a massive #DefundMPD protest, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told the organizers that he didn't support abolishing the Minneapolis Police Dept. He was then told to leave: https://youtu.be/S98HQcQKeSU

I just walked down the 800 block of Park Rd NW, just near my house. This block contains a police station, though the only reason you can tell is there are always police cars double parked all down the block.

At both ends of the block, a driver ran the red light. And not a “oops, I should have stopped on that late yellow”, but “I see the light is red and I am consciously choosing to ignore that”.

At the New Hampshire Ave end, a driver heading east crossed the center line to pass two other drivers who were stopping for the yellow.

At the Georgia Ave end, a driver stopped in the crosswalk then floored it after the light turned. Honestly couldn’t tell you what he was thinking.

I sometimes wonder why we even have police.

We have signed on to the African American Round Table’s letter to the common council of Milwaukee to demand that they vote AGAINST the COPS grant—a federal program which would give three years salary to MPD for 30 more cops to patrol our streets.

That money needs to be used for things people need, not more police.

Really encouraged by the MPS vote to end MPD presence in schools. Could we get our local press to use their platforms to pull the curtain back on other organizations, sports teams, companies, & events that fund/collaborate with MPD? #DefundMPD #DivestfromMPD
