It’s the Frey pattern. He fails basic management. The council tries to fix. Rather than work with others, he triangulates to shift blame to them.

Former MPD Chief Arradondo’s legacy “…Part of the reason the case took years to resolve is the city did not indemnify five of the officers involved, meaning it didn’t defend them because the case involved malfeasance, willful neglect of duty or bad faith…” www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

The city has been sued before over a SWAT team’s actions in the days after George Floyd was killed by police.

The main objective of the position is to win football games, and coach appears to have greatly exceeded expectations. Weird.

Paul Blume/FOX9 is in the courtroom where ICE Agent Gregory Morgan, Jr. is on the stand crying. He's accused of pointing his gun at another driver in a road rage incident and is trying to move his case to federal court.

I’m skeptical that any internal candidate has the appropriate perspective to achieve meaningful reform of the Minneapolis Police Department. BillyJack doesn’t live in Minneapolis, used-to doesn’t count… not a member of the community. I don’t like Frey’s pick and i let his office know.

“Yet they themselves were the victims of violence by the people who were supposed to be protecting them, by police officers,” said attorney Eric Rice, who represents the plaintiffs. What a *great* time to nominate a BillyJack for chief, an mpd vet who doesn’t even live in Minneapolis. /s

Apple’s app says 48. Not buying it. Nice app, shonkey data. Buncha smoke over the Mississippi River right now.

I am deeply skeptical that any internal candidate has the appropriate perspective to achieve meaningful reform, especially someone who no longer lives in Minneapolis. I emailed Peterson and asked him to withdraw. I also contacted the mayor my council member.

So the mayor has decided that reforming the MPD is not a priority, and probably never was.

@keithellison.bsky.social supported the Medical Debt Fairness Act which stops the transfer of a person's medical debt (in only their name) to their spouse, upon their death. Gotta say, having an AG who supports legislation like this--that's an AG who fights for _people_.

We live in the Mill District and walk the dog a lot. We never cross south over Washington Ave because there’s nothing there for us, other than a concert or sporting event. The design is move cars in and out quickly, and it’s “working“ as designed. It’s an awful walking experience.

Frey has a lot of flaws, IMO. His inability to collaborate with others is probably at the core of his inability to deliver meaningful results.

This *seems like* another 35th/Grand situation and more apathy from MPD. I sent a email to Ward 3 with 2 specific requests and copied a few folks in MPD, including interim Chief BillyJack (his closest friends call him that, I didn't make that up).
