Karl Durr arrived in Rutherford County from Eugene, Oregon, in spring of 2016. He had been hired as the new police chief of Murfreesboro, the county’s largest city.
As an outsider, there was a chance he would shake some things up.
But less than two weeks after he started, while he was still furnishing his office and learning people’s names, officers from his department arrested 11 Black school children for not stepping in to stop a fight.
When Durr discovers what, and who, is behind the arrests, he takes swift action. But he also makes a political enemy in the process.
