The conclusion seems clear: Derek Chauvin was not an anomaly.

After a two-year Department of Justice investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department—that involved a review of thousands of documents, incident files, body-worn camera videos, and department data—Attorney General Merrick Garland revealed his findings today. They were damning. If you look at “MPD as a whole,” Garland said in Minneapolis, there were clear “systemic problems.”

Civil rights advocates in MN foresaw this problem.

#GeorgeFloyd: #MinneapolisPolice 'in pattern of #racism', inquiry finds - BBC News

Police in the US city of Minneapolis have engaged in a pattern of race discrimination for at least the past decade, a state inquiry has found. The investigation was launched following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020. Minnesota's civil rights enforcement agency looked into how officers used force, stopped, searched and arrested minorities compared to white residents. Their analysis found wide disparities in the treatment of different races. Its conclusions could be used to force the police department to change its practices and policies.
