Former Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo recounted his reaction to George Floyd’s death, which he learned about through a community activist’s call, leading him to recognize the urgent need for police reform. The incident, involving Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes, profoundly impacted Arradondo’s career and prompted him to push for changes despite challenges within the police culture. In his new book, “Chief Rondo: Securing Justice for the Murder of George Floyd,” he expresses regret for not addressing the department’s toxic culture sooner and conveys his condolences to Floyd’s daughter, Gianna.
