Several Minn. Labor Organizations Call For Minneapolis Police Union Head Bob Kroll To Step Down

https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/06/02/several-labor-organizations-call-for-minneapolis-police-union-head-bob-kroll-to-step-down/

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Several Minnesota labor organizations are calling for Lt. Bob Kroll, president of the Minneapolis Police Officers Federation, to step down in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death.

Education Minnesota says Kroll is “unfit to lead in the modern labor movement.”

The Minneapolis Federation of Teachers, AFSCME and the AFL-CIO also called for him to resign.


Keep putting the pressure on! That creep needs to be removed and turn in his badge!

He represents the systemic block that had to be broken down.

"Kroll also mocked the concept of procedural justice, an institutional reform meant to reduce police use of force through diversity and anti-bias training, saying that it’s an opportunity for people of color to get back at white men.."


That is the biased belief that affects every decision he makes.

"opportunity for people of color to get back at white men.."

ick 😬

The proper place for pressure, in my opinion, is on the rank and file members of the union. Does Bob Kroll speak for you? Does he represent what you are as a law enforcement officer? Are people like Bob Kroll the reason you became a cop? You might want the answer to these questions to be no, but as long as Kroll remains the president of your union, your answer is yes.
