3. Mayor Frey discontinued a training based on "killology" in April of 2019.

"The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) is officially banning "extracurricular" training programs reportedly aimed at bringing out a cop's inner warrior. The decision comes from the very top, with Mayor Jacob Frey announcing on Thursday that the city's officers are now prohibited from attending such "fear-based training".

The president of the police union, Bob Krull, defied the orders of Mayor Frey, by announcing free ‘Warrior’ training (killology) for officers who wanted to take it. Looks to me as though the police departments need to do a thorough study of the records of their officers, and act accordingly, starting with Bob Krull.

Edit: Bob Krull also attended and spoke at the tRump rally in Minnesota last October, and sold "cops support tRump" t shirts as a moneymaker for tRump. Enough said!
