What does 1992 have to do with 2020? Minneapolis is getting some help navigating how to work under a consent decree after the death of George Floyd and ensuing unrest and riots. It's coming from a place with deep experience with similar issues: The LAPD bit.ly/3Xwp7xX

Thank you to the @Twins for hosting Law Enforcement Appreciation Night last Friday night! @MinneapolisPD Chief Brian O’Hara threw out the first pitch, and joining him on the field was the honor guard from the @MNLEMA, which partnered with the NLEOMF. A great evening dedicated to the service and sacrifice of law enforcement! #MinnesotaTwins #MinneapolisPD #MLB #MLEMA

This week marks four years since George Floyd was killed during a police stop in Minneapolis. It sparked protests across the U.S. and forced the Minneapolis Police Dept. to change its policies — but it is still trying to build trust while dealing with a serious staffing crisis.

Policing is an honorable profession, and too often these stories do not get told. The video from this incident is difficult to watch, but because of their quick actions, a young boy was given a second chance at life. We couldn’t be more grateful. fox9.com/news/mpd-officers-r…
