'Brooklyn Center, Minn., which erupted in protest Sunday as word of 20-year-old Daunte Wright’s death spread, now has a new city manager and — at least temporarily — a new de facto leader of the police department following a city council vote that granted the mayor “command authority” over the agency.
The overhaul likely gives Mayor Mike Elliott the power to fire the police chief and police officers, one legal expert told The Washington Post.
“At such a tough time, this will streamline things and establish a chain of command and leadership,” Elliott wrote after the motion passed by a 3-to-2 vote. Elliott, who by law serves on the council, and two other members voted in the affirmative.
An hour later, Elliott announced that Brooklyn Center had fired its city manager, Curt Boganey, and replaced him with the city’s deputy manager, Reggie Edwards.
“I will continue to work my hardest to ensure good leadership at all levels of our city government,” Elliott said in a tweet about the change.
Earlier that day, Elliott and Boganey had publicly split over the discipline of the officer involved, who was identified as Kim Potter, a 26-year veteran of the Brooklyn Center Police Department. Authorities said Potter accidentally fired her gun at Wright when she meant to use a Taser.
“All employees working for the city of Brooklyn Center are entitled to due process with respect to discipline,” Boganey told reporters. “This employee will receive due process, and that’s really all I can say today.”'

"Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz imposed a curfew from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m. Tuesday for three counties that include Brooklyn Center, Minneapolis, and the capital of St. Paul. Just over 500 members of the National Guard have been called in to patrol around the Twin Cities.
Crowds began gathering outside the Brooklyn Center police station Monday afternoon, with hundreds there by nightfall despite the governor’s dusk-to-dawn curfew. A drumbeat incessantly, and the crowd broke into frequent chants of “Daunte Wright!” Some shouted obscenities at officers.

About 90 minutes after the curfew deadline, police began firing gas canisters and flash-bang grenades in an attempt to drive them away, sending clouds wafting over the crowd and pushing some back at least briefly. Some protesters, wearing gas masks, picked up smoke canisters and threw them back toward police"

>"Center City Council"
>NEVER FORGET WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE
Slackjaw legislators that will do anything to keep their cushy job in hopes they dont upset the mob too much - no backbone, and they take all power from LEOs.
Some even go great lengths to persecute them, regardless of skin color.
… not to mention they cite the anarcho-marxists in their streets as the need for 'Reform'.
The New Normal is boring.
>mike elliot
>the first black mayor of brooklyn center
>fires white city manager
>says there will be no crowd control during riots
>declares himself as fully in control of city and police
What could go wrong?
Taxpayer dollars can cover a lot but, not everything.
>And if the cops disobey, are they going to send the social workers in to arrest the cops? Maybe they should ban deadly force, use of handcuffs, police cars, etc. They want to be be woke, they need to step their shit up.
History has already proven that 'descalation' tactics arent as effective as many believe - Social Workers are not the answer to lawlessness.
