The police chief of Minneapolis is pulling out of contract negotiations with the police union to focus on implementing reforms and accountability measures. Critics say the union rules protect officers who engage in misconduct.

In making the announcement, Arradondo acknowledged that there are"crippled relationships" between the police and communities of color in the city that have eroded trust in the police force. "This work must be transformational, but I must do it right," he said and cautioned that it could take time. "There is nothing more debilitating to a chief from an employment matter perspective, than when you have grounds to terminate an officer for misconduct and you're dealing with a third-party mechanism that allows for that employee to not only be back at your department, but to be patrolling in your communities."
Arradondo's predecessor as police chief, Janee Harteau, and the city's mayor, Jacob Frey, among others, have often complained that the police union has worked to block departmental reforms. Frey praised Arradondo's announcement Wednesday, saying in a series of tweets,"I applaud the Chief's courage his resolve to challenge the status quo."
