Judging from a letter written to the Minneapolis Police Federation and an interview with Intercept.com,
Minneapolis Police Lt. Bob Kroll is determined to undermine his superior’s efforts to create a kinder gentler Minneapolis police force.
“His categorical opposition to reform, his consistent disrespect for civilian leadership and his lack of
empathy for the community have done more to undermine trust in police than any ‘community activist’
ever has,” said Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey in response to Kroll’s letter.
“This terrorist movement that is currently occurring is a long time build up which dates back years,”
wrote Minneapolis Police Lt. Bob Kroll in a letter addressed to the Minneapolis Police Federation.
“Kroll constantly complains about the Minneapolis Police Department not having enough support and
fails to recognize that that lack of support is largely caused by his own words,” responded Mayor
Frey with frustration.
“Bob Kroll’s letter yesterday to the Minneapolis Police Federation membership showed us what rank-and-file officers voted for in their
leadership, and it is yet another sign that the department is irredeemably beyond reform,” Fletcher
tweeted.”
