There is a reason SPPD and every even reasonably sensible law enforcement agency prohibits chases/pursuits in urban areas. They are shown to be far too risky and almost always cause more damage than they're worth.
One of the *MANY* guidelines and norms the feds are breaking on a daily basis.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

This is a really important point, and part of what MN has been demanding - we don't just want ICE OUT, we want ICE STOPPED - we shouldn't have been terrorized like this, and nobody else should either.
Chicago, Portland, and LA demanded the same, but ICE just moved on - and came to MN.
NO MORE.

even if ICE move on, levy armstrong says, where is the accountability? it is not enough for them to get out, to move to another community. they must face accountability for the harm they put on the state of minnesota

an echo of what has happened already with CPD and LAPD: outright refusal to serve their communities and visibly assisting the feds. The failure of local politicians and the police to act need a major reckoning when this is over. It already was necessary for institutional biases but even more so now.
jay from twin cities coalition for justice calls out jacob frey and brian o’hara for MPD providing crowd control for ICE in minneapolis, saying “crowd control is collusion.”
