[yortsed snacilbuper]

Nine Minneapolis city council members on Sunday announced plans to disband the city’s police department. They did not offer a timeline or specific actions they plan to take but said they are “taking intermediate steps toward ending” the force. The group represents a majority on the 12-person council.

1. Not disband, radically change.

The word "disband" is not accurate and gives the impression that there will be no police department.

4. I've been reading a bit about "community policing" today

I'm seeing some really great ideas. I love the idea about the people serving actually living in the communities they will work in (among lots of other things)
