Mike Elliott, mayor of Brooklyn, Center. MN The Brooklyn Center City Council voted 4-1 Saturday to pass a package of sweeping reforms to its public safety system — what the city’s mayor called “a new north star” for policing — one month after an officer fatally shot an unarmed man during a traffic stop.
The proposals will remake the city’s police force with more independent oversight, prohibit arrests for low-level offenses and use unarmed civilians to handle minor traffic violations. The reforms also will make a new city department to oversee public safety.
“[It] will establish a new north star for our community, one that will keep all of us safe,” said Mayor Mike Elliott, who introduced a version of the reforms last week. “It says that we, as your elected leaders, are committing ourselves. And that you can hold us accountable for achieving those goals.”

Council Members Marquita Butler, April Graves and Dan Ryan joined Elliott in voting for the resolution. Council Member Kris Lawrence-Anderson was the sole no vote. She was not present but said over Zoom that the council hadn’t taken enough time on the proposal.
The three-hour meeting included testimony from the families of Daunte Wright and Kobe Dimock-Heisler, two men who were killed by Brooklyn Center police and whose stories have pressured politicians into seeking changes.
“Thirty-four days ago, our son, on April 11th, was murdered,” said Katie Wright, Daunte’s mother. “I truly believe if this was implemented prior to April 11, our son would still be with us today.” Former Brooklyn Center officer Kimberly Potter has been charged with second-degree manslaughter in Wright’s death. The killing ignited a week of sustained protests outside the police station and a backlash against minor traffic stops — or pretext stops — that disproportionately affect drivers of color.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
