Summary

A summary of the key points of this story, verified by multiple sources.

The Minneapolis City Council has unanimously approved a consent decree with the federal government to reform the police department following a two-year investigation that found widespread discrimination and excessive force. The 171-page agreement establishes new training protocols, prohibits racial profiling, and mandates long-term court oversight and compliance monitoring. This move comes as the city seeks to address the systemic issues highlighted by national protests after George Floyd’s murder in 2020. The urgency to finalize the agreement is heightened by the impending return of President-elect Donald Trump, who has previously criticized such reforms.
