I caught some of this. My first impression... does she not own a hair brush?Quote:

Why would the Chief resign at the first sign of difficulty? This is the sort of thing that separates those with leadership qualities from those who are merely political appointees.Quote:

There is still work to be done. There are roughly 800 other officers who work at the agency who need leadership to get them through this difficult time. A real leader would have pressed the Mayor to terminate their employment while standing up for the rest of the agency. This sounds a little too convenient.Quote:

And that is sad, very sad indeed. A police agency needs a warrior for a leader, not a manager.Quote:

again just what I saw/read
The Mayor tried to hold another press conv. and protesters shut her down. They told her that she's next. Sounds like that Chief knows what's up. She made it clear what her feelings were on the shooting and now apparently how she feels about the Mayor.

Harteau, who worked her way up from the bottom of the department to become the city's first female, first openly gay and first Native American police chief, said she was proud of the work she accomplished and honored to serve as chief. But she said the shooting of 40-year-old Justine Damond by one of her officers and other incidents "have caused me to engage in deep reflection."
From all I've read the government of Minneapolis has turned a blind eye to Somali gang crime for years. That Chief might actually be one of the good ones.
