The U.S. Department of Justice has released a report finding that the Minneapolis Police Department has engaged in a pattern of unconstitutional and unlawful conduct, including excessive force and discrimination against Black and Native American people. The report calls for the City of Minneapolis to take immediate steps to address the issues and enter into a court-enforceable agreement to ensure that the MPD reforms its practices and policies. The findings of the report are a reminder that the fight for justice and equality is far from over.
