    "For those who want to maintain law & order: the murder of George Floyd was disorder... We need something better," says @jeremiah4north "In #Minneapolis, we're looking to start anew. We're asking ourselves if the police are the right mechanism to create safety in our city."

    The majority of people killed by police in America are killed in response to mental health calls, traffic infractions and other low-level offenses. Police killed 121 people during traffic stops alone last year.
