DOJ Investigation Reveals Discriminatory Policing in Minneapolis Leading to George Floyd's Murder.

The Justice Department released a report on Friday that found the Minneapolis Police Department engaged in a pattern of discriminatory law enforcement practices against Black and Native American people, using unnecessary excessive force and violating the rights of protesters expressing their First Amendment rights. The report shows that "the systemic problems in MPD made what happened to [Floyd] possible." The systemic problems continued despite reform efforts. The report also outlines how MPD officers stop, search and use force against people who are Black and Native American at disproportionate rates.
