we had the murder of george floyd, the killing of travis jordan and the list could go on and on. so i think that we can stick with what we have because we know what it produces. we know that every once in a while, it produces corruption, it produces a police murder, and so we can chalk those things up as the cost of doing business if we want to. i don t think that s what minneapolis should do and i don t think that s what voters want us to do. i think voters want us to keep neighbors safe. i think voters want us to have a system that can actually address the harms that are created out in community when you have unemployment, when you have increases in crime and they don t want a system that s going to go head hunting for activists because police are mad and they don t want a system that doesn t actually effectively drive down violence when it s on the rise in our city. okay. jeremiah ellison, i know that you are up for re-election. i would love to have you back. we did have a couple
