“Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara called out the ‘bizarre’ progressive ideology that overtook the city following the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, in an interview Friday with the New York Post. The outlet spoke with Minneapolis law enforcement and business owners as the city approaches the 5-year anniversary next week of Floyd’s death, which sparked global protests and riots by the Black Lives Matter movement. O’Hara, who previously served in the Newark, New Jersey police department, joined the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) as chief in November 2022. Even though he came from a far-left city, O’Hara said he was unprepared for how politicized policing in Minneapolis had become, saying that a ‘bourgeois liberal mentality’ had made it difficult for ‘reality and facts’ to break through.” (05/20/25)
