Minneapolis Police Department Investigated By The State
Minnesota files civil rights charge (click here)
Quote:
The state of Minnesota launched a sweeping civil rights investigation of the Minneapolis Police Department on Tuesday, a week after a white officer is alleged to have killed a black man during an arrest, officials said.
The probe, stemming from the death of George Floyd, will be designed to root out "systemic racism that is generations deep," Gov. Tim Walz told reporters.
"The investigation will review MPD's policies, procedures and practices over the last 10 years to determine if the department has utilized systemic discriminatory practices towards people of color."

For the overall best interest of everyone, I hope they dig really deep with a good balance of investigators, but only find small pockets and not a large, systemic issue...with the Minneapolis police department.
I would also like to see other states (or even the FBI) doing the same thing...with the cities known to have similar problems.
Those cities who have good, clean departments, with unions who want the same thing...will have nothing to worry about.
For those who don't...consider yourself being on notice.
