The DOJ investigation into the Minneapolis police after death of George Floyd has uncovered evidence of racial discrimination.
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday that a Department of Justice investigation found a "patter or practice" of excessive force and racial discrimination by Minneapolis and the city's police department.
"We found that MPD and the city of Minneapolis engages in a pattern or practice of using excessive force, unlawfully discriminating against Black or Native American people in enforcement activities, violating the rights of people engaged in protective speech, and discriminating against people with behavioral disabilities when responding to them in crisis," Garland said.
On Friday, Garland said"As I told Goerge Floyd’s family this morning, his death has had an irrevocable impact on the Minneapolis community, on our county, and on the world. His loss is still felt deeply by those who loved and knew him and by many who did not. George Floyd should be alive today." Damarra Atkins pays respect to George Floyd at a mural at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on April 23, 2021.
He cited a 2017 case in which an unarmed woman – who had called 911 to report a possible sexual assault in a nearby alley – was shot and killed by an officer who said she had"spooked him." "Such conduct is deeply disturbing and it erodes the community's trust in law enforcement," he said.
