Trigger Warning: This article mentions police brutality and murder. Please take personal care when reading. “No more funerals.” This was the succinct mission statement of Medaria “Rondo” Arradondo during his time serving as Minneapolis Police Chief in the summer of 2020 — directly after the murder of George Floyd. In this exclusive interview, Medaria provides generous insight into his experience trying to protect the city he loves during a time of deep civil unrest and the changes he made to ensure that, going forward, his department would prioritize humanity above all else. Medaria’s new book, CHIEF RONDO, also gives readers a firsthand account of what it’s like being the first Black police chief of the Minneapolis Police Department. We learn about his views on justice, leadership, and race and how those very views led to his decision to testify against Derek Chauvin when the time came. At its core, CHIEF RONDO is a needed reminder that the only path to justice is paved by those most committed to morality and truth.
