Gov.

The department filed a discrimination complaint against the police, which has come under fire since the death of George Floyd after then-Officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into the man's neck for more than eight minutes.At least three other officers participated in Floyd's arrest and restraint, but they all ignored the 46-year-old's pleas for help as he narrated his own death. None of the officers has been charged.

Floyd's videotaped death has sparked widespread protests across the country with demonstrators calling for police reform among other social justice changes.She added the human rights department will"use their investigatory authority as a tool to support the city and their efforts to make deep, systematic change."

Flanagan said change"is so deeply needed so that people can feel safe in their communities and know that they are protected by law enforcement instead of fearing law enforcement." "We've got a really incredible state — if you're white. If you are a person of color, if you are indigenous, if you are an immigrant or refugee, the opposite is true. There are historical entrenched disparities in education and health care and housing and wealth and nearly every single aspect of life here."

Was George Floyd a Republican Trump supporter?

That’s rich. Attack the police who are defending the public in the civil chaos.

MN looks in the mirror - and should be applauded. Local investigative work and tailored solutions may be better than a DOJ Consent Decree or similar order. At this time, 14 police forces operate under Consent Decree out of 25 investigations since 1991.

When is the state going to prosecute its AG for domestic violence?

Wow! I didn’t know that THE STATE can file discrimination charges against an agency.. Esp. an agency overshadowed by an agency (DOJ) responsible for ensuring civil rights FOR ALL citizens... that’s fantastically crazy 😜

А вы как думаете?

You know I just wonder where were all the people when all the kids got shot up and killed in schools? The NRA came out to demand protection to all sorts of killing guns. Teachers were encouraged by Trump to jump on the assailants and used their own guns to save children.

We are all individuals and should be held accountable as individuals! Everyone STOP putting people into categories and boxes and groups!!

And they say rioting doesn’t work. In this country?! Lol that’s the only thing that DOES work.

Good first step, but it needs to be taken to a proper closure - an overhaul of the training manual and hiring process of the police force

Now do the rest of the police.

Good
