Ilhan Omar: ‘We Need to Completely Dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department’

OMAR: "I will never stop saying, not only do we need to disinvest the police, but we need to completely dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. 

(Cheers and applause)

The Minneapolis Police Department is rotten to the root. And so when we dismantle it, we get rid of that cancer and we allow for something beautiful to rise. And that re-imagining allows us to figure out what public safety looks like for us."
