[Minneapolis news]

Tony Bouza - outspoken, contrarian cop who once ran
Minneapolis police - dies at 94

Tony Bouza grew up on Spain's Atlantic coast in the 1930s, and had a firsthand
view of oppressive state power, according to his son, Dominick. He told his
children about a neighbor caught watching nearby Nazi German ships with
binoculars and jailed.

"His wife came every day for a week with lunch. And on the seventh day, they
told her not to bother with that anymore," Dominick Bouza said Monday,
recalling what his father had told him. Police power had life and death
consequences in Tony Bouza's hometown, his son said, and "he understood that
clearly."
....
He rose through the [NYPD ranks and became a reforming force in the NYPD,
single-handedly changing the dress code to allow women officers to wear pants
if they chose. But he was publicly critical of police misconduct and eventually
quit the force to be deputy chief of the transit police.
