Minneapolis agrees deal with state to revamp post-George Floyd policing

Court-enforceable agreement passes city council with 11-0 vote as members harshly criticize police and previous city leaders

The Minneapolis city council on Friday approved an agreement with the state to revamp policing, nearly three years after a city officer murdered George Floyd.

The Minnesota department of human rights issued a blistering report last year that said the police department had engaged in a pattern of race discrimination for at least a decade. City leaders subsequently agreed to negotiate a settlement with the agency.
