In another big Tuesday night victory for Americans, Minneapolis voters rejected a proposal that would have seen their police department replaced with a Department of Public Safety.
If accepted, the measure would have removed minimum funding requirements, as well as minimum officer requirements, and given the mayor and City Council 50/50 control of public safety.
The vote needed at least 51% approval, but was voted against 57% to 44%.
Opponents of the measure pointed to the fact that the city has recorded the most homicides since the mid-90s.
Following the death of George Floyd last year, there has been a radical push by far leftists to remove the Minneapolis police department altogether.
