Pour yourself another one – this one's gonna leave a bad taste. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara gets caught deleting contacts, strong arming for confidential info, and growing his "jacket," all while being probed for sexual misconduct claims. With the city hemorrhaging cops, crime's up, trust is in the toilet, and now the reform savior walks out the door. Retired Minneapolis Police Sargent Ken Tidgwell joins Kenny and Jay to talk about all things MPD and his past personal experiences.
