Minneapolis City Council members who voted last week to strip $8 million from the Minneapolis Police Department budget and redirect those funds to other community programs say they are not “defunding the police,” even though the vote technically defunds the police.
As The Daily Wire reported late last week, “the Minneapolis City Council voted to ‘shift nearly $8 million from next year’s police budget to other city services'” as part of a wider effort to “transform” law enforcement. “The controversial plan was approved unanimously as part of the city’s 2021 budget,” The Washington Post noted.
