That means Minneapolis has a much smaller police department now (exactly the outcome the fearful “reform don’t defund” folks didn’t want) but without any sort of new, robust structure to replace it (exactly the outcome the “defund / abolish” folks didn’t want).

Despite that, crime is •way• down in Minneapolis, because crime generally depends on larger societal factors, not the size of the police department. Well, crime not committed by police, anyway.
