The DOJ launched the investigation after Police Officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of the murder of George Floyd in April 2021.
Attorney General Merrick Garland talks about a DOJ report that found the Minneapolis Police Department has engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination during a news conference, Friday, June 16, 2023, in Minneapolis.
The investigation found “numerous incidents” in which officers responded to a person’s claim that they were unable to breathe by telling them “some version of, ‘You can breathe, you’re talking right now,’” according to the report. Officials from the City of Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Police Department in a statement Friday affirmed their willingness to collaborate with the Department of Justice to shape a consent decree.
