A report from the Department of Justice alleges Minneapolis police routinely violate the civil and first amendment rights of residents. See potential bias and similarities in coverage from WSJ, DailyWireNews, and nytimes:
states that MPD officers patrol neighborhoods “differently based on their racial composition and discriminated based on race when searching, handcuffing, or using force against people during stops.” The investigation pulled on evidence from “thousands of documents, incident files, body-worn camera videos, and the City and MPD’s data. Our findings are also based on ride-alongs and conversations with MPD officers, City employees, mental health providers, and community members.
”includes misinformation. The article centers around the death of Justine Ruszczyk, who was killed in 2017 by Mohamed Noor, a police officer in Minneapolis. The Daily Wire article claims the DOJ report focuses heavily on racial discrimination, but cites this incident involving a white victim and a black cop “without mentioning their races.” This is not entirely accurate— the report does identify Ruszczyk as a “white woman” on page 5, but does in fact make no mention of Noor or his race.
