The Minneapolis police chief appears to be setting the stage for some sort of showdown with federal law enforcement.
Is the chief is concerned about a widespread plot to kidnap illegal aliens Somalians?
The Gateway Pundit reported,
Police leadership in Minneapolis is urging the city’s Somali community, and other immigrant residents, to call 911 if they spot masked individuals detaining people in their neighborhoods.
At a Tuesday press conference, Brian O’Hara, Chief of the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD), warned that some masked individuals detaining people “may be kidnapping people,” saying the department had received “those reports.”
He urged community members to call 911 if they were unsure whether those enforcing arrests were legitimate law enforcement — and pledged MPD would investigate and log every such call.
He did not stop at documentation, however. “If there is anything that is … a violation of someone’s human rights or civil rights, excessive force or anything like that, they absolutely have a duty to intervene as police officers,” O’Hara declared.
Chief O’Hara’s comments come amid media reports that ICE is preparing a major enforcement operation targeting hundreds of Somali illegal immigrants in the Twin Cities region.
Perhaps there is something that the rest of us don’t know about. Is there a serial Somali-kidnapper on the loose in Minneapolis that is dressing up as law enforcement?
Is the Chief concerned that these rampant kidnappers might dress up like local police next? Maybe we will soon hear a public warning advising residents to call the police if the police show up. The question remains, how many times must one call the police before they have escaped the plot of the secret Somali kidnappers?
This is deeply unserious behavior by the police chief.
It seems he is using this absurd line of “reasoning” as justification to have some sort of clash with federal law enforcement.
