The ex-cop (remember he was fired - he's not a cop anymore) who put his knee on George Floyd's neck has had 18 other complaints filed against him in the past - and two of those complaints were "closed with discipline." This is according to the Minneapolis Police Department official records.
The other ex-cop in the video who was actually facing the camera and standing up, had 6 complaints against him in the past - one of which is still open, the others closed without discipline.
So there is a history of problems with both of these ex-cops. The other two who you don't see in the video but were also fired, had no prior complaints against them.
18 complaints, and only two of them closed with discipline - on a single police officer. It never should've gotten that high in the first place. The structure of their department is flawed, to allow someone to rack up 18 complaints, and only close two - and both of them "with discipline."
