I believe that you have given an accurate summary of the directions given to the Police Officers of Minneapolis. And yes, the directions are insane.
It seems like a very dysfunctional organization to me. I note that rot starts at the top, and Police Chiefs are appointed, not elected.
The blame for this debacle rests with the current Mayor, the previous Mayor, and the political organization which placed them in office. No, I do not blame "voters". People who vote do not matter. The people who count the votes matter.
