Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Booed For Not Committing To Defunding Police
Crowd Booed Minneapolis Mayor For Refusing To Commit To Defunding Police In Viral Video
There’s a call for defunding of Police amid the ongoing protests against racism, Police brutality, social injustice and more following the tragic murder of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery.
However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey refused to support the defunding of police during a public appearance on Saturday, and was met with boos from the audience.
“I do have to take responsibility here. I’ve been coming to grips with my own brokenness in this situation, my own failures, my own shortcomings,” Frey told the crowd. “And I know there needs to be deep-seated, structural reform in terms of how the department operates. The systemic racist system needs to be revamped. The police union needs to be put in its place.”
Then a protester prompted Frey with a question: “Will you commit to defunding the Minneapolis Police Department?” she asked. “We don’t want people with guns toting around in our community shooting us down. It is a yes or a no. Will you defund the Minneapolis Police Department? It’s important we hear this, ’cause if y’all don’t know, he’s up for re-election next year. And if he says ‘no,’ guess what the fuck we’re going to do next year?”
But Frey refused to commit to defunding: “I do not support the full abolition at the police department,” he said, as he was met with boos.
