Jun 21, 2020:

CBS aired a 60 Minutes segment entitled "Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo on George Floyd’s Killing, Policies During Protests and Reform for His Department".

It's telling that 13 years ago, Medaria Arradondo and four other black police officers sued the department for racial discrimination. In their complaint, they said that every African American officer received a hate letter signed "KKK" through interoffice mail. The case was settled for $740,000.

The [police] union's president, Robert Kroll, was named in Chief Arradondo's own civil rights complaint 13 years ago as someone who made racist statements.

Here are a few key excerpts from the interview with Minneapolis Police Cheif Medaria Aradondo conducted by CBS correspondent Lesley Stahl:

Lesley Stahl:

Is the bottom line that you cannot weed out the so-called bad apples, and you cannot fully discipline to the extent you want to, because of the union contract?

Chief Medaria Arradondo:

It is problematic, absolutely. Yes. And so I cannot in good faith work with a contract that-- that-- diminishes my authority as chief but also erodes that public trust that our communities need so much right now.

Lesley Stahl:

The president of the, uh, police union, Robert Kroll, has defended the officers in this case, and he's called the Black Lives Matter movement a terrorist organization. And I just wonder if his attitudes, his outlook, is having an influence on your police force?

Chief Medaria Arradondo:

He absolutely is an influencer. And I've continued to have very serious conversations with him. And he and others are going to have to come to a reckoning that either they are going to be on the right side of history or they're gonna be on the wrong side of history. But-- or they will be left behind. Or, they will be left behind.
