  1. The racism is ingrained in the heart and mind of many and will come out of them when they encounter the persons they hold these racist views against at work whether it be police or Doctors or Companies……what’s in a man , woman , child , human etc. is what comes out through actions and or verbally…….. so how could job training change a thing ? That’s life training and it starts as soon as one starts learning ‼️🤷🏾‍♂️🤔

  2. Sounds like the leaders need to be fired because they can’t police their own police wow don’t get rid of the little guys for your on the steaks up top

  3. imagine being a cop and 99% of the crime and bad behavior you deal with comes from a certain demographic of people..now imagine having to deal with that for years and years…of course people are gonna be racist.

  4. To All Those Racists : =================
    All Major Religions – CHRISTIANITY/ISLAM/JUDAISM/BUDHDHISM/ HINDUISM/CONFUSHINISM etc. Birthplace was Middle East/Asia/India & China.
    + Jesus & All the Apostles / Prophets' SKIN COLOUR B R O W N ! (Not palaface or White)
    == Of the Worlds Total Population USA ONLY 4% – WEST 12% & ALL THE REST 88% ! ==
    India & China over 2 Billion People !!

  5. All this rhetoric that the media uses is wrong all this talk against the police is wrong you guys seem if your on the side of criminals why don't we hear any investigations on the looting and murders that occurred in the summer of 2020 but no bring out this report hmm violence criminals are running ramped but let's put police the people who actually defend you from the criminals I'll stop and stay wOkE.

  6. Democratic Nazi party controlled this study!

  7. REALLY wow, so your saying cops treat black people different then white people, NO , case closed thanks MPD and NBC news for discovering this ground breaking news

  8. Maybe they should stop committing the majority of crimes

  9. have you looked in Northern Mn law enforcement oh trust me its alot worse in the Northland

  10. So what else is new beside the Christians trying to get raptured before the Big Hammer Falls on America..

  11. I guess distorted facts are the truth for a lot of people

  12. Deficient training? More like deficient intelligence.

  13. So you need training to not be racist 🤔

  14. Why would you need a study. All American police departments are racist. Nothing new

  15. Great City. High Quality Policing right there.

  16. News report: "the sky is blue"

  17. It official the Minneapolis police apartment is not only guilty of racial discrimination but also human rights violations

  18. Findings after George Floyd huh… that’s why him and others are dead! A whole decade to figure out what the people that you’re suppose to protect were telling them.

  19. It’s sad it took a whole decade to FINALLY figure it out… A DECADE?!

  20. Humanity sure is stupid for continuing to bicker over skin color.

  21. MINNEAPOLIS 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 NOTICE HOW THEY HAD BLACK PEOPLE STANDING DURING THE SPEECH

  22. And water is wet, and this is America.

  23. A Progressive city with progressive policies is still systematically racist. Look up the crime stats and you'll know what the root of the problem is.

  24. I’m 50 years old I was born in Minneapolis and lived there until I was 26 years old. It was going on back then. This is nothing new. And besides the Minneapolis police department. The human rights department should be looking into Robbinsdale St. Louis Park Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park Minnetonka Richfield Anoka Blaine all the surrounding suburbs because growing up they also racially profiled immensely and I am sure it hasn’t stopped! I’m glad the study was done. But it should’ve been done 30-40 years ago!

  25. They act like nothing happening in Warren county nj

  26. George Floyd pointed a g*n at a pregnant woman

  27. This issue has too many taboos and the report is garbage science. The report says it examined behavior and for similar behavior the police treated black people worse but all it did was look at police reports and note description of behavior but that doesn't take into account differences in intensity of the behavior. It may be uncomfortable to talk about but blacks have different temperaments which lead to different stats. Men also have different temperaments compared to women and that also leads to differences in police stats.

  28. Wow, policing the areas with more crime is racist? Cops should just let the city implode. Ungrateful schmucks

  29. It'll be 1000yrs before blacks and like will ever be able to be able to start a healing process.
    Sad but true

  30. Cops need to be treated like cattle

  31. You don't need an investigation to see that. Sad but true and it's not just in one state it's countrywide

  32. I’m sure, duh, and I’m not surprised Came to my mind

  33. A police department exposed as employing racist policies and people?! This is truly shocking (Sarcasm)

  34. Omg I am shocked to see this happening in the United States, the pinnacle of humanity. 🙄😂
