The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has released the findings of an investigation into the police department of Minneapolis, Minnesota, concluding that the department engaged in “systemic” violations of civil rights and excessive force.US Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday shared the results of a scathing report into the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD), which killed George Floyd in May 2020, setting off a wave of nationwide protests against racism and police violence.“Our review focused on MPD as a whole, not on the actions of any individual officer. We observed many MPD officers who did their difficult work with professionalism, courage and respect,” Garland said. “But the patterns and practices we observed made what happened to George Floyd possible.”
