A state investigation launched after George Floyd's killing in the custody of four Minneapolis police officers has determined that the department engages in a pattern of race discrimination.
Minnesota's Department of Human Rights announced the finding of the nearly two-year probe on Wednesday. The department has the power to enforce the state's Human Rights Act, which makes it illegal for police departments to discriminate against someone due to their race.

Of course a “department of human rights” is going to say something like that. That’s how they keep their jobs.
I was gonna comment something else then I read your name lmfao.
Show us the pattern that the criminals and Justice system display? Forgive me if I’m very skeptical of the media these days.
Weren’t the police responding to a dispute…?
Yes.
responding to a call is racisssss
Someone got murdered. They did an investigation into the department in which 2 cops watched a third one sit on a man’s neck for almost ten minutes. If you’re not getting the point, I don’t know what to tell u…
@Fill Herbut Yet a cop had his knee on a white mans neck in the same manner for over 21 minutes with no injuries or problem breathing and not on drugs. Fishy how a guy not on drugs had no problems with almost 3x the duration of a knee on his neck in the same way but the guy who was on drugs died exactly the way people die from those drugs in just over 8 minutes. Let me guess he said he couldn’t breathe once the cop was on his neck. He begged the police to let him out of the car because he couldn’t breathe in which they replied to and put him on the ground in which he claimed he couldn’t breathe the entire way from the car to the ground which was caused by all the drugs in him which killed him.
I thought they were going to admit he overdosed on fentlynal.
@William Reese I identify as George Kirby.
@TA you mean the guy who wasn’t lynched and managed to turn his life around?🙄smh*
@William ReeseWere you the only one to subscribe to CNN+? I hope you get your refund.
@TA you know for a comedian you’re not very funny😉just sayn*
There’s more than one definition of “discrimination” and it is this: recognition and understanding of the difference between one thing and another.
It is essentially pattern recognition. On top of that it would be beneficial to know who is more likely to be belligerent when stopped by police. In my youth I had many run ins with law enforcement and arrested many times. I never had a bad experience with police officers. Perhaps it had to do with my behavior? Was it because I am white or because I was polite and cooperated? Would I have been dealt with accordingly had I become confrontational with officers? Yes. Might I have been shot if I had pulled a weapon or tried to take a weapon from a police officer? Absolutely.
@mr guy, ah yes, the true hallmark of intelligence: seeing racism where there is no racism.
@William Reese, all things considered, yes. Especially when compared to morons who resist arrest.
@LT J Wow👌Just wow. Didn’t realize you could resist arrest with your hands cuffed and a knee in your back but at least Derek is enjoying his time behind bars, where he belongs*
@William Reese, I never said George floyd was resisting arrest but yes, one could still be considered resisting arrest while handcuffed and restrained. Notice, just like my other comment, I made a general statement and said nothing specific about floyd. I know you would love to twist my words and say I said things that I didn’t and I would expect nothing less from an ignorant person.
Can we see the crime statistics in Minneapolis as well
Finds he should have been in prison. A career criminal and not a hero. If he was in prison where he belonged he would still be alive l bet
So you’re saying he’d still be alive if the racist cops had done their job instead of kneeling on his neck for 9 min?🤔who knew*
@William Reese That’s how I understood it. 🤷♂️
George Floyd OD’s on synthetic heroin while being arrested for federal crimes…..oh noes! Discrimination!
Shout out to Derek, enjoying his free rent from behind bars*👋
I think the towel is rung out enough. Literally not one more drop falling out. Maybe time to leave it rest?
George has 2 years of not abusing women .
2 yrs sober also
Probe finds he died from drug overdose
All the drugs in Floyd’s system didn’t help
I watched the video, this brotha was stoned out of his mind and demanded to be put on the ground all while fighting them about it
Didn’t realize I watched the video tho
Maybe there should b a retrial 😂
Better yet, how about don’t do hard drugs.
Police “discriminate” against repeat offenders regardless of race. Blame the judges/prosecutors who continually released him
Define racist*
Floyd was no saint, but he didn’t deserve a death sentence for his crimes.
