A growing list of groups including the ACLU of Minnesota, Racial Justice Network, Minneapolis NAACP, Reclaim the Block and CUAPB today urged the Minneapolis City Council to delay its vote on the police contract so members and community groups have time to scrutinize it.

The jury deliberating the fate of three police officers who helped Derek Chauvin kill George Floyd has found them guilty of all five federal civil rights charges facing them.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota just filed a request under the state Government Data Practices Act for data around the Minneapolis police killing of Amir Locke.  

The ACLU of Minnesota joins the NAACP and other civil rights groups in calling for the immediate firing of the Minneapolis police officer who killed Amir Locke. The officer must be held accountable for using more than objectively reasonable force under the circumstances, violating MPD policies.
