Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told “60 Minutes” that the city’s 911 system is overwhelmed by complaints about immigration enforcement, and he is worried this is becoming another “2020 moment,” referring to the explosion of riots after the death of George Floyd. “We’re in this 2020 moment where all these tensions have been building, and I’m afraid we’re gonna have another moment where it all explodes,” he said. “Targeted, precise, preplanned operations on violent offenders that is a good thing. But I’m concerned that people in the administration don’t actually understand the reality of what’s happening on the street.” “They have a right to observe, record, and object to police activity,” he said about protesters. “People have a right to say disrespectful things. As a professional, I have an obligation not to take that personally and not to retaliate. However, they cannot physically obstruct law enforcement from performing a function. Those are– those things are illegal.”
