Minneapolis Police Department investigation: DOJ found it violated peoples' rights
killed George Floyd
The Justice Department's investigation found Minneapolis police officers used excessive force and violated people's civil rights. It also found the police department and city discriminated against people with "behavioral health disabilities" when police are called. Furthermore, the inquiry found police violated the rights of people engaged in protected speech including retaliating against protesters and members of the press. Garland explained that on May 30, 2020, Minneapolis police officers encountered journalists sheltering at a gas station during the civil unrest following Floyd’s death. One journalist showed his credentials shouting he was a member of the press but the officer pushed his head forcefully into the pavement.
Clarke said the investigation found officers often used neck restraints without warning and used them against people with minor offenses who posed no threat. In the review of less lethal force, the inquiry found Minneapolis officers' use of Tasers is often inconsistent with MPD’s policy and occurs without warning. They would use Tasers on children and in some cases fire them several times without reassessing.
