Hello Minneapolis Folks, As we all know Council Members Scott Benson, Barb Johnson, and Gary Schiff all voted to confirm McManus as Minneapolis next police chief. I believe this was genuinely difficult decision for all of them to make and commend them for their vote.
McManus was not my first choice when I started looking at the candidates either, rather I was bias to hiring a person of color or women to be our next police chief. I decide McManus was the best choice after a long and careful review of all the candidates, which included conversations with many people. I was impressed with his past accomplishments, and ability to communicate with others, and his understanding of the importance of protecting public�s civil liberties, while effectively impacting crime through community policing. Congratulations to Chief McManus. And thank you to Council Members Scott Benson, Barb Johnson, and Gary Schiff for voting for his approval, it was the right decision, yet still very difficult. Thank you for your work, Ken Bradley Corcoran Neighborhood "As the roll is called today, three votes will be telling: Council Members Scott Benson, Barbara Johnson and Gary Schiff. The three initially were committed to voting against McManus, then they moved to the middle. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
