Another video showed Frey being interrogated by protesters about whether he would abolish the police. He said he has “been coming to grips with my own brokenness in this situation” and said he would try to fix “a systemic racist system.”
When asked to answer “yes or no” as to whether he would defund the police, the mayor answered,”I do not support the full abolition of the Minneapolis Police Department.”
The protest leader yelled at him, “Alright, then get the f— out of here. Go.”
