Any bets the mayor might have had a little to do with this too?

Call a "riot" a riot or not fire the officer until she gets her due process; no matter how it's reported to the press, either way you end up out a job in Minneapolis.

‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself. - a guy named Bill

IMO, that chief has behaved like the picture of integrity and transparency in the midst of an administrator's worst nightmare. I'm sorry to see him lose his job over this, but I imagine it was inevitable.

I also saw that the mayor fired the city manager because the city manager made a statement to the effect that they had to follow due process in disciplinary proceedings for the officer. I would have thought that would be a given, but apparently these days it's not .

Tides turn. Never forget those who created this mess. Give them their due without mercy when the tides favor us. While we don’t name shooters and give them the glory they seek, perhaps we should always name the mayors et al so that we can remember their rightful place once they have fallen from Grace and keep them there.

Someone had to be thrown into the volcano to appease the media gods, and we are fresh out of virgins up there.

I know the comment was sardonic. Media doesn’t need to be appeased. They are a service. What might be good is “news service” needs to get certified and have some oath regarding integrity, factual, unbiased. Like a Hippocratic oath. People should be fired and the service fined heavily for violations. All others, like CNN, don’t get to use “news” as part of their name - rather they must identify themselves as opinion, propaganda or entertainment providers.

This is why I choose to get my info here.

Thanks members & para!

The linguistic word games and narrative shaping on full-display.

Wish there was a camera pointed at these 'reporters' to everyone who these supposed 'reporters' are and to visual show their righteous indignation and fury at this police chief, as he attempts to answer loaded and leading questions.

Yet this chief learned nothing from the fast four years in dealing with the media. You don't play nice with them, you don't take their crap, and when they inevitably attack, you return fire with both barrels. This guy rolled over to the mob and media and as such, was discarded.

Sheriff Grady Judd he was not. However, how would being fired affect his retirement instead of resigning? I suspect he didn't have a much of a choice.

The City Council fired the City Manager as well:

According to the Star Tribune, at least one city council member voted to oust Boganey from the job he’s held since 2006 not because he had done a bad job, or because he’d done anything wrong, but “because she feared for her property and retaliation by protestors if she had voted to keep him.”

“He was doing a great job. I respect him dearly,” Council Member Kris Lawrence-Anderson said, according to the Star Tribune. “I didn’t want repercussions at a personal level.”

Well with that statement I would be surprised if the mob hasn't surrounded her house already. Fools, fools and more fools.

Amen.

Well, they have an unfortunate screen name, but I couldn't possibly agree more with them.

Media is a business.
They lie to please an audience or an agenda.
It's about the money, but for some it isn't JUST about the money. For some, it's about sucking up to power.

I guess the new chief can deal with the brain surgeon mayor:


Let him/her go out on a few stops unarmed.

That's a given.

The Arrest Warrant for Duante Wright.

Armed Robbery.
When will we learn whether or not, if there was a gun in the car?
Seemed obvious to me that he was going for something in the car.
