He's just one more in a long line of Democrat sheriffs who think their job is to support Democrat policy - illegal immigration now; segregation then - rather than the law.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara warned on Face the Nation Sunday that public anger over a string of federal‑involved shootings has reached a breaking point, saying the city is so overwhelmed that even a finding of legal justification in the latest incident “does not matter at this point.”
Host Margaret Brennan asked the Minneapolis police chief his opinion about the facts of Saturday’s shooting of a protester in the city. He explained that he believes the videos speak for themselves. He continued, saying, “So I think very obviously, there are serious questions that are being raised.”
“And I think the greater issue is,” O’Hara continued, “even if there is an investigation that ultimately proves that at the time of the shooting it was legally justified, I don’t think that even matters at this point, because there just- there is so much outrage and concern around what is happening in the city.”
Pressed by Brennan on what he meant, O’Hara said Minneapolis residents “have had enough” after three shootings in less than three weeks, including two fatal encounters involving federal agents. He noted that his department recovered roughly 900 guns last year without firing a shot, yet now finds itself managing escalating chaos with only 600 officers. “This is not sustainable,” he said, describing the toll on a force he says is stretched “incredibly thin” as the city waits for leaders “on both sides to come together and figure this thing out.
The chief stated:

As he sits on his ass and does nothing. The rioters know they can run loose because the mayor won’t let the cops engage.
How much does thus UPOS take home every month. Did he order the precinct abandoned during the Floyd suicide riots?
Go ahead.
Burn down your own town again.
Idiots.
From what I’ve read, he was hired after the fiery, but mostly peaceful riots in 2020. I believe he was hired from outside the agency from somewhere in the mid Atlantic region.
Their PRIVATE CHAT just got LEAKED.
That is a 20 min excerpt from Matt Morse' morning show today. It has receipts, names and a full expose of the tactics and strategies being used in their own words from their own transmissions to their field operatives.
Matt's full show, 1:23:00, can be seen here. One hour of content and commentary and 23 minutes reading his chats w/ his commentary. The first half hour was about yesterday's shooting incident. The second half hour (approx) is in the excerpt linked above.
I don't know how anyone could view this and not consider it mind blowing in scale.
The State of Minnesota is in Full Rebellion Against the United States. (my opinion)
I still not understand how that agency has 600 officers with people like him in charge. He’s basically said now, if people are mad at you, it’s just a file for them to try to harm or kill you. I’m sure that will do well with the morale of his police department
On the Left sites, they’re already talking about expanding this to protect other DEM constituencies.
“”The State of Minnesota is in Full Rebellion Against the United States. (my opinion) “””
Minnesota is not involved. It is the Occupied Territory of Minneapolistan that is causing the trouble.
I knew we should not have given men the franchise.
They are just too emotional to handle it.
In the post above there is direct info linking Tampon Timmy to the organization of the anti-ICE obstructionists and numerous close associates of his are named.
Incompetent politicized Chief O’Hara comes from Barney Fife branch of law enforcement, except Barney made an arrest every once in a while. Besides, what’s a white guy doing as police chief of an urban police force. Couldn’t they find any black women for their Woke force?
Robbing a bank is wrong. So we don’t enforce the LEO arresting the thieves because that upsets people?
Ridiculous.
Watch that video and come back and tell me that most of the state’s pols and bureaucrats are not involved.
Better gigs elsewhere. Minneapolis is a $#sithole. And their winters suck.

Minneapolis needs a completely new Police force...from the chief...all the way down. Fire them all and start over.
Trading fraud infested Minnesota for Alberta seems like an interesting move.
:) Maybe we should vet them first just to be sure.
The PEOPLE of Minnesota are disgusted with what is going on in Occupied Territory. This is what happens when you have years of one party rule.
