Minnesota Reformer
Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo coordinated closely with a group called Operation Safety Now, which was created by a PR consultant, to sway public opinion and the City Council against budget cuts to the Minneapolis police department.

Bill Rodriguez was the first speaker at the first public hearing on cutting funding to the Minneapolis Police Department. “We need both: the police and reform,” Rodriguez said at a City Council meeting in November.
Variations on that phrase “we need both” were repeated throughout the hearing. It is the signature talking point of Operation Safety Now, the pro-police group Rodriguez founded.
The verdict of the Derek Chauvin trial is in. Many are celebrating the guilty verdict.
Some of those celebrating the verdict are even saying that Colorado should follow the example of Minneapolis and their home state of Minnesota.
That idea is ridiculous.
Minneapolis has shown us utter incompetence in addressing police brutality and race relations. They have also shown us why defunding the police will not work.
I think that we all agree that the death of George Floyd was horrific. I think that we all agree that we do not support the type of breath blocking hold that Mr. Floyd was put in. I think that we all agree that true police brutality should not be tolerated in any of our communities.
