- The Minneapolis City Council on Friday unanimously passed a resolution to replace the police department
- The council will pursue a community-led public safety system as a replacement
- Council members signing the resolution said reform of the police would not work and a full replacement of the current system was necessary
- 'No amount of reforms will prevent lethal violence and abuse by some members of the Police Department against members of our community,' it said
- The move comes days after a veto-proof majority of the council voted to disband the police department
- The decision follows weeks of protests over the death of George Floyd at the hands of the city's police
