Liz Collins of WCCO is married to Bob Kroll, the president of the Minneapolis Police Union.

In 2007 Kroll was named in a lawsuit four black police officers — including the current chief — brought against the Minneapolis Police Department for discrimination.    

As examples of Kroll's prejudicial treatment, the complaint said Kroll openly wore a "white power" patch sewn into his motorcycle jacket. Kroll is reportedly a member of the City Heat Motorcycle Club, which has been cited by the Anti-Defamation League for its white power connections. 

Though Ms. Collins and Mr. Kroll have tried to keep their marriage quiet, citizens are learning that this is how systemic racism is perpetuated. Liz Collins being married to a white supremacist is an overt example of a public conflict of interest.

We ask that WCCO and CBS publicly denounce their affiliation with reporters that are tied to white supremacy groups.

We ask that you publicly ask Liz Collins to step down.
