Reading this NYT article is a bit strange...
It pretends a proposal that can easily be brought forward again is dead
It makes little/no mention of past reforms
And mentions a lawsuit against the city without mentioning the rightwing firm funding the suit
I& #39;m a bit confused

I remember talking with @AsteadWesley, it was clear to me he& #39;d already picked the story he wanted to tell
He wanted to frame a discussion that is in-progress as a definitive failure
Whatever his intent, the message of his article is clear: don& #39;t you dare try anything new

One thing I& #39;ve learned in all of this is that the status quo has some unlikely champions
Minneapolis has done public safety ONE way for 153 years. Of course, reimagining that system is going to take more than a few months
A & #39;collapse& #39;? That& #39;s absurd. An embarrassing assertion

Mr. Herndon asked about public input and I told him that voting is public input.
Voting is one of the few ways that quiet and loud voices in a political discussion can be on equal footing
He says I & #39;dismissed& #39; public input. Clearly, my answer didn& #39;t fit his predetermined story

The Daily episode on this same topic discusses a lawsuit against the city but doesn& #39;t mention of the Upper Midwest Law Center (UMLC), the conservative firm financially backing the suit
The same firm leading the anti-mask movement in the Midwest with suits against multiple states

What& #39;s happening in Minneapolis is not a & #39;case study& #39; for bold ideas & #39;faltering& #39;
What& #39;s happening in Minneapolis is the same fight between change and the-way-things-are, with the same political actors trying to shut down discourse and erase nuance at every possible turn

My constituents are repeatedly asked to endure police violence if they want anything done about crime
We endure and STILL nothing is done.
Isn& #39;t it worth reimagining *that* system, even if the fight is hard, even if the status quo gets a win or 2 against you in the process?
