TL;DR Summary

The Minneapolis City Council has unanimously approved a 140-page agreement between the state and city requiring changes to the Minneapolis Police Department, including limits on the use of Tasers and other nonlethal weapons, restrictions on when officers can conduct traffic stops, and changes to how officer use of force is defined and categorized. The agreement comes three years after George Floyd's murder and marks the end of a state investigation of the department that found it racially discriminated against city residents. The agreement will be enforced by the courts and overseen by an independent monitor.
