Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara says "people have had enough" after Border Patrol shooting

Published | Video Starts at 08:52

Well, there's policies and laws that have been the case here for decades, and it's not on the Minneapolis Police Department or local law enforcement, you know, to hand folks over that are in jails. The city police do not operate a jail that's at the county level, and the prisons are at the state level. So we are complying with the law as we have been for many years. And I don't know what else could possibly be asked of this very, very, you know, understaffed and overstretched police department. (08:52–08:59)

CLAIM

Asserts that city police do not operate jails, which are managed at the county level, and prisons are at the state level.
