Report apparently leaked last week shows – to the surprise of nobody – that the City of Minneapolis just was n ot ready <\/em>for the George Floyd riots<\/a> – or much of anything else:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An independent audit of Minneapolis\u2019 handling of protests and riots following the police murder of George Floyd found city leaders and police ignored emergency plans in place, instead making decisions on the fly, according to Council Member Robin Wonsley Worlobah, who saw a draft report.<\/p>

One line in the report Wonsley Worlobah pointed to reads: \u201cWe learned that MPD does not adhere to the principles of the ICS (incident command system) but rather addresses emergencies and crises with an ad hoc command structure.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the fact that Minneapolis wasn’t ready was on display worldwide, almost two years ago – including the fact that Minneapolis’s administration had no idea how to ask a passive-aggressive governor how to get the National Guard onto the streets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll take a moment to air this tweet, by “Dr.” Katie Knuth, 2021 Minneapolis mayoral also-ran and..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…well, we’ll delve back into her resume in a moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not most imp. thing abt after-action review of the days following George Floyd's murder, but I'm stuck on it. @MayorFrey<\/a> & his senior staff seemed to have no clue abt basic emergency operations. Frey took office a month before the Super Bowl came to Mpls. Why does this matter?<\/p>— Dr. Kate Knuth (@kateknuth) March 9, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
