Minneapolis News Conference Overtaken By Protestors

[Kathianne]

Wow. Came home from the grocery, turned on the news to see, 'News Conference Regarding Resignation of Police Chief.' The mayor praised the chief, then said she had to go in light of the shooting of the Australian woman. The audience started yelling, "You need to go and take your staff with you." It devolved from there, but they did remain orderly.

Here's a bit of what happened:

In a raucous press conference on Friday evening Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges announced the resignation of Minneapolis police chief Jane Harteau. The resignation came in the wake of the fatal shooting of an Australian woman by a police officer on July 15.

“We need new leadership at MPD," Hodges said. "I asked Chief Harteau for her resignation, she tendered it and I accepted it.”

The presser quickly turned into a back and forth debate with a protester who was in attendance.

“We do not want you as the Mayor," a man said to Hodges. "We do not want you as the mayor of Minneapolis! You have been ineffective. We do not want you as the Mayor, Betsy Hodges!”

Hodges initially attempted to engage the protester, saying she would be “happy to sit down and talk with people about the future of policing in Minneapolis.” But the protester continued to yell while others in attendance joined the dialogue.

Hodges eventually walked away and left the room without continuing her remarks as the protesters began cheering before taking turns to make their own remarks.

Wait a minute... the Chief resigns but the idiot cop that pulled the trigger - narrowly missing the other cop driving - is still employed?
