The Minneapolis City Council this week voted to eliminate the position of police spokesperson and make the city’s communications office responsible for the duties of the office, a move that prompted criticism from Police Chief Medaria Arradondo.

“I made my position on this matter clear. Today, the City Council opted to go in a different direction,” Arradondo said in a statement sent to The Epoch Times by John Elder, public information officer (PIO) for the Minneapolis Police Department.
