Update: Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara’s comments to his officers were far worse than Sentinel originally reported on Thursday.
O’Hara told them that if he saw ICE using “unlawful force” against people in the area, they are expected to take action. They won’t have to arrest them, but they have to intervene or they will be fired. MS Now reported more details on Friday.
He’s setting up a very dangerous situation. What do they think is “unlawful?” Minneapolis is lawless so would they know if they saw it?
Is it time for an arrest? I understand restraint, but officials keep pushing the envelope in wokesville.
MS Now, formerly MSNBC, quoted O’Hara as saying, “If unlawful force is being used by any law enforcement officer against any person in this city and one of our officers is there, absolutely, I expect them to intervene, or they’ll be fired.”
It also stated that “O’Hara noted that cases of ‘excessive’ force that were ‘readily apparent’ would merit officer intervention. A sergeant from O’Hara’s department later clarified that while Minneapolis Police Department officers may physically intervene in the case of unlawful force, they would stop short of arresting ICE agents.”
O’Hara recently said the reason his officers cannot help ICE is because he doesn’t have enough officers to handle the crime now.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers amid ICE raids: Intervene when you see ICE agents using unlawful force or get fired.

Original Story, December 4
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara wants residents to call police if they see “folks with masks that they are unsure are LEO or not” and they “legitimately didn’t know whether they are LEO or not”.
O’Hara is setting up a dangerous standoff with legitimate federal law enforcement. People will call whenever they see ICE and he has to know that.
The city leaders are apparently fine with the corruption and fraud just uncovered, which is mostly committed by the Somali community.
The chief thinks police officers should “intervene” with operations they see that they don’t like.
“The community should know that if you see something like that, that is legitimate, that you don’t know if someone is law enforcement, you should call 911, and you should provide as much information as possible,” he said, pledging that cops “absolutely have a duty to intervene” in such cases.
Border Czar Tom Homan said “He oughta put his badge in the desk drawer and walk away because he stopped being a cop to become a politician.”
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara says that Somalians should call 911 if ICE shows up wearing masks to make arrests.
He says police will “immediately respond” and “intervene.”

This so-called police chief is pandering in the extreme as does Mayor Jacob Frey who speaks in Somali now.

The glasses.
The feds should investigate the Minneapolis police chief because HE IS IN THE POCKETS OF the criminal illegal fraudsters. He has been paid off big money, so has the mayor, governor and Senator! Send all the somalis back to their somaliland in africa!
They will loose officers. Who do you suppose will be hired in their place?
Minneapolis cops, protect yourselves. Face away from the incident and loudly proclaim “I see nothing”.
“… they have to intervene or they will be fired.”
But if they do intervene they will be impeding federal law enforcement while doing their job which is a federal offense. Is Chief O’Hara going to take the punishment for that or go to jail for his officers? I think not.
Need to check his finances. Making some bold statements about taking on federal law enforcement means he’s most likely on the take. Every criminal entity does this. Get key individuals in LE and government on the books so you can keep your product/activities flowing.
Supporting the invasion and theft of America is disturbing in general. It is extra disturbing to see a white male act against his own kind for a job. His slant on this shows he does not have bounds of propriety. This has a parallel in corporate America. People that rose the ranks were AA devotees, eventually entire leaderships were filled… Read more »
He’s just following orders.
The deep state and the democrats are planning another and are doing another cue to take out President Trump, their actually just finishing the one they started in 2015. All of their talking heads have been saying for weeks now that the military and law enforcement does not have to follow unlawful orders, hoping they will turn on the President… Read more »
