Minneapolis Police Chief Seeks Unity as City Faces Probing Shootings and Protests

In a Face the Nation interview, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara says federal officials have not yet provided official details about a shooting; the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is handling the investigation after being initially blocked from the scene. He notes three weeks of ongoing violence and protests, a stretched police force (about 600 officers), and a temporary National Guard presence, stressing the situation is unsustainable. He defends sanctuary-city policies and lawful gun rights while criticizing how immigration enforcement has been conducted and calling for cooperation among federal and local authorities to restore safety.
