Remember the current chief sued the department in 2007 over discrimination within the department. The suit alleged differential treatment of black police officers when it came to overtime, promotions, and even discipline. It also said that the current president of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, Bob Kroll, openly wore a "white power" patch on his motorcycle jacket. So the current chief should have no love for Kroll and the union. I hate it when I go somewhere let's say a Twins game, and start asking and talking about Cleveland baseball and I get flak for talking about unrelated topics. And I'm going with willfully ignorant.
