Minneapolis Police Chief Out

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian OHara is stepping down — a surprise move just weeks after Mayor Jacob Frey endorsed him for another term. OHara took the helm after George Floyd’s death, guiding the department through high-profile crises like Operation Metro Surge, the Annunciation school shooting, and persistent homeless encampment issues. While critics questioned his handling of federal agents and a controversial shooting, crime stats show serious street violence dropped last year — fewer homicides than during pandemic highs. He succeeded Medaria Arradondo and followed interim chief Amelia Huffman. The reasons for his departure remain unclear. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
