In a city that has staggered from crisis to crisis in recent years, the sudden resignation of police Chief Brian O’Hara is again leaving Minneapolis looking for a way forward.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — In a city that often seems to be staggering from one crisis to the next, the sudden resignation of police Chief Brian O’Hara after a finding he likely interfered in a misconduct investigation has left Minneapolis searching again for a way forward.

    Frey, who just weeks ago pushed to have O’Hara reappointed as chief, fired back at criticism that he didn’t move aggressively enough when allegations of the chief’s potential misconduct emerged.

    “I don’t make decisions based on rumors and anonymous complaints,” he said in a statement, adding that he would work with the council to find a replacement. “I took action promptly after receiving the investigative report. … Decisions this serious have to be grounded in facts, evidence and completed investigations. Anything less would be irresponsible.”

    I wish more people in this city understood that Frey is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He only works for landlords and commerce. He has no interest in helping his actual constituents. He’s a little snake who soaks up the spotlight whenever can, but does nothing but stab progressives in the back. I guarantee these allegations were not just “rumors” to him.

      I’ve never seen Frey as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”. I also don’t see him as progressive. I think Frey is an honest Mayor, and is doing well. But if you have proof of otherwise, let me know.
