The Divestment continues.

The MInneapolis School Board, University of Minnesota and MInneapolis Park & Rec Board have unanimously decided to divest from the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) and will hire them neither in an official capacity or off duty officers as security for events. Not sure what the plan for school security will be for the Minneapolis School System but they'll supposedly have a new plan in place by August.
The Minneapols Parks system will apparently develop their own police service even more and even forbid the Minneapolis Park Police from answering MPD calls unless there is a "critical emergency."
In addition a bunch of businesses and the like have decided not to hire MPD officers anymore as well and a major international law firm has decided it will no longer take pro bono misdemeanor cases from the Minneapolis City Attorney's Office since misdemeanors unjustly affect Black communities and will instead devote its resources to representing and benefiting Black communities in the legal system.
