Met with a commander of the St Paul PD yesterday. He is saying that his whole department is on alert now and through next week in anticipation of a verdict in the Chauvin case and with what happened in Brooklyn Center. He also said that he understood that many in the public view him as the enemy and that LEO need to take more accountability. He was pretty unsparing in his opinion of Derek Chauvin and Kim Potter.
