State investigators are calling the way prosecutors track credibility issues with Minneapolis Police officers a “systemic failure.”
These are issues that prosecutors are required by law to share in future cases.
The Minnesota Department of Human Rights report into racial discrimination at MPD provided the public a rare look into how prosecutors keep tabs on officers that may not be trusted in court.
Following a scathing report released Wednesday by the Minnesota Department of Human Rights (MNDHR), the state is looking to use a consent decree to ensure reforms within the Minneapolis Police Department.
The nearly two-year investigation into MPD found in the last 10 years, the department engaged in a pattern or practices of race discrimination, violating the Minnesota Human Rights Act. (SNIP) Responding to the findings Wednesday afternoon, Mayor Jacob Frey said he’s open to a consent decree.
Thursday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey talked about the new Minneapolis no-knock search warrant policy in the city.
The new policy, which Frey proposed in March, no longer allows Minneapolis police to apply for or execute no-knock warrants, no longer allows Minneapolis police to request or respond to requests from agencies in other jurisdictions, and requires Minneapolis police to knock or announce their presence and purpose for entry at least 20 seconds before executing the warrant, or at least 30 seconds before executing the warrant if it’s between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m., among other requirements.

WASHINGTON — Citing growing worries about high gasoline prices, Democratic leaders announced an effort Thursday to give the Federal Trade Commission increased authority to crack down on companies that engage in price gouging. In doing so, they downplayed the possibility of other options such as a federal gas tax holiday or offering oil companies more government incentives to increase production. Instead, they said the FTC needs more tools, including stiffer fines and penalties and a team of dedicated experts to monitor markets and go after price gouging. With voters concerned about the growing toll of inflation, Democrats again signaled their intention
When Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently unveiled his “six pillar plan” for dealing with the crisis on our southern border, he certainly didn’t mention this truly awful idea. During his recent testimony before Congress, Mayorkas slipped in one option that Joe Biden is reportedly considering. In order to provide better care for the tens of thousands of illegal aliens streaming across the border, the White House is looking at the possibility of diverting funding from the Veterans Administration for that situation. Additionally, some of the doctors and nurses tasked with caring for our veterans could be reassigned to providing care for the illegals.

What the hell is going on up on the Hill? What the hell are Republicans thinking with this move? We have every issue playing in our favor. The Left’s culture wars are turning off swaths of voters who are flocking to the GOP. We have the start of the Biden recession. We have high gas prices, inflation, and a southern border crisis—and what do Senate Republicans decide to do? Hold immigration reform talks with the Democrats.
The Democratic leadership in the House and Senate said they will bring legislation to a vote to police big oil companies for price gouging as historically high gas costs continue to dog Democrats’ midterm chances.

President Joe Biden has been letting loose in private conversations in recent weeks, railing about the factors bogging down his approval ratings and the people he thinks aren’t helping – including Democrats eyeing his job despite his clear promise to run for reelection. He’s gearing up for intense midterm campaigning built around hammering Republicans, as he tries to save Democrats in the House and Senate, but also to tee up a reelection campaign that for now is expected to be announced by next spring. Biden is frustrated that journalists aren’t calling out Republicans for, as he sees it, giving up
