Minneapolis and its police department engaged in "a pattern or practice of race discrimination," Minnesota human rights officials said in a report Wednesday stemming from an investigation launched one week after the Memorial Day 2020 killing of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer.
State Human Rights Commissioner Rebecca Lucero, at a news conference, lambasted the organizational culture of a department marred by "flawed training which emphasized a paramilitary approach to policing," a lack of accountability and the failure of police leaders to address racial disparities.
