1/ ICYMI, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey announced this afternoon the nomination of the city's first Commissioner of Community Safety, Cedric Alexander @Calex_law.
Salary range: $295,000 to $350,000
Position oversees: Police, 911, Fire, Emergency Mgmt, Public Information ++.
2/
Recall, citizens voted against this move last fall. The council and mayor disregarded the people's voice and have now created another massive layer of bureaucracy in the city of Minneapolis.
3/ Of note in his comments at the press conference, Cedric Alexander not so subtly directed comments urging media to "help me."
Um, while you can count on mainstream #MNmedia to toe your line, media's job, theoretically, is to hold you accountable.

Total of four people were in the vehicle, one of them fled.
It started as a fleeing vehicle, and the crash may have occurred separately from the fleeing vehicle.
Police aired that there was a crash, but it's unclear if the fleeing vehicle caused or was involved in the crash.
.
Scoop - We're told that Mayor Jacob Frey plans to nominate current Commissioner of the MN Dept of Public Safety John Harrington to the new Public Safety Commissioner of Minneapolis.
.
Remember, Minneapolis voted last fall against creating a Dept of Public Safety, but Mayor Frey and the Council disregarded that.
Now they'll hire a commissioner at up to $350,000 (twice what Harrington makes in his state role).
.
And Minneapolis didn't even require a master's degree for the position.

Here's the video of the shots fired captured on video in #MplsDowntown overnight. You can see a gun pulled and shots fired while the sound of fireworks exploded in the background.
(We posted earlier, but the original video was removed).
