Talk:Minneapolis Police Department

message: I've included a litany of references as much as I can however of course to save our brains they are not repeatedly placed all the time. If in doubt over an unREFfed sentence, refer to the next reference you can find, as multiple bits of information are contained in each page. There may be some controversial sources, particular blogs such as Powerline and Minneapolis Mirror, but I feel they have considerable value in characterizing the "social saga" that is the history section. As there never is an official release of any negative incidents regarding MPD, we must tred carefully to obtain multiple views to accurately understand the circumstances. I've primary sourced a lot of links so refer back to them. .:DavuMaya:. 08:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Update:  Minneapolis (CNN)Nine members of the Minneapolis City Council on Sunday announced they intend to defund and dismantle the city's police department following the police killing of George Floyd.  We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department and replace it with a transformative new model of public safety." https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/07/us/george-floyd-protests-sunday/index.html
Peter K Burian (talk) 00:44, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the article, "Bender told CNN she was looking to shift police funding toward community-based strategies and that the city council would discuss how to replace the current police department." So, there is going to be police, but it will be doing Community policing, and it will be a part of something like Human/Social services I guess. My very best wishes (talk) 02:22, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, dismantled might be the wrong word. Not sure what word to use instead. City councillors said Sunday they intend to disband the local police department, though there is no consensus yet on what to replace it with. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/police-reform-ideas-united-states-george-floyd-1.5601990 ..................  at a community rally on Sunday, a veto-proof majority of council members declared their intent to “dismantle” and “abolish” ... Our commitment is to end policing as we know it and to recreate systems of public safety that actually keep us safe. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/07/minneapolis-city-council-defund-police-george-floyd Peter K Burian (talk) 12:13, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Just found this article: Reform is the correct word. Police reform experiment: Residents of Camden, located near Philadelphia, say it's been successful. Murders are down by two-thirds since the year before the police reform, and overall violent crime is down nearly half. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/police-reform-ideas-united-states-george-floyd-1.5601990 Peter K Burian (talk) 12:15, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: OK. So, The entire Camden force was dismantled a few years ago. A new, larger force was rebuilt in conjunction with the surrounding county after a few major adjustments. This is NOT "defunding". The "new lager force" probably costs more. This is a reform exactly in the style of Mikheil Saakashvili to get rid of police corruption. The "defunding" is a misleading slogan, and it is going to backfire . "Radical reform" is another matter. My very best wishes (talk) 15:52, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Not done: Not yet. As far as I understand; the department has not been disbanded yet, and what the reliable source in the previous thread says is that what is going to happen is not "disbandment" anyway... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs)  03:01, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed; it will be "reform" and is only in the early stages of discussion. See the thread above ... "end policing as we know it and to recreate systems of public safety that actually keep us safe". In any event, this article should certainly include coverage of the plan.

message: I wanted to add some context on the use of chokeholds and neck restraints to the Killing of George Floyd article, but someone argued it fits better here. Anyone has ideas as to where it would be best to place this content or parts thereof ? I used two sources : a MinnPost article ("How common is it for Minnesota police departments to authorize chokeholds, ‘neck restraints’?") and an NBC News article ("Minneapolis police rendered 44 people unconscious with neck restraints in five years") Thanks in advance, Fa suisse (talk) 01:26, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use of chokeholds and neck restraints 

message: Currently, just about half of the lead section is devoted to the killing of George Floyd and its aftermath. While the events of the past year definitely seem to be the most notable in the agency's history and warrant a paragraph or so, per WP:Recentism it's unacceptable to have more than half the lead section of an agency founded in 1867 be devoted to just one year. I suggest that the recent material be condensed and a hidden comment added to dissuade excessive detail; we cover the Floyd killing and its aftermath in plenty of detail elsewhere on Wikipedia.  talk 22:09, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
