On June 1, 2020, the Minnesota Department of Human Rights1 filed a charge of discrimination against the City of Minneapolis (City) to investigate and determine if the City of Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) are in violation of the Minnesota Human Rights Act, Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 363A.12, for a pattern or practice of race discrimination. The Minnesota Department of Human Rights opened its investigation after an MPD officer murdered George Floyd on May 25, 2020. A pattern or practice of discrimination is present where the denial of rights consists of something more than isolated, sporadic incidents, but is repeated, routine, or of a generalized nature. Such a showing may be made through statistical evidence and/or other examples of specific instances of discrimination. After completing a comprehensive investigation, the Minnesota Department of Human Rights finds there is probable cause that the City and MPD engage in a pattern or practice of race discrimination in violation of the Minnesota Human Rights Act.
