Statement

“Chief O’Hara was untruthful when providing a statement to the Minnesota Reformer regarding the hiring of Officer Tyler Timberlake. After the Reformer inquired about Timberlake’s hiring, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara released a statement saying he was extremely concerned to learn about the hiring and directed staff to complete a thorough investigation. A follow up article by the Minnesota Reformer clearly states Chief personally signed off on the hiring of Tyler Timberlake.”
