"The Minneapolis Police Department went the entire year last year, recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds and hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone. And now, this is the second American citizen who's been killed, the third shooting within three weeks. People have been speaking out, saying that this was going to happen again… This is not sustainable." —Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara

Yeah, this is the amazing thing, to me. Sure, it's only words, and I have no doubt that the chief has cheerfully beaten plenty of Minneapolisonians senseless and taught the technique of police brutality & corruption to his employees. He's no good guy. You can tell by the badge. But I srsly can't remember seeing a top-level cop on camera calling out other cops.

It doesn't mean much, but it means some fraction of something.
