During that incident, MPD officers called a Black man, who was on the ground with his hands out and obeying commands, a “fuckin’ piece of shit,” while one of the officers repeatedly kicked him in the face. — PolitiTweet.org

- MPD maintains a culture where MPD officers consistently use racist, misogynistic, and disrespectful language and are rarely held accountable - During an incident in 2020, an officer should have intervened while other officers inappropriately used force. — PolitiTweet.org

- In one case, an MPD officer used an MPD covert account to pose as a Black community member to send a message to a local branch of the NAACP criticizing the group. — PolitiTweet.org

In contrast, MPD officers did not similarly track and surveil white people unrelated to criminal activity using MPD covert social media accounts. — PolitiTweet.org

- 🚩MPD uses covert social media to target Black leaders, Black organizations, and elected officials, unrelated to criminal activity, without a public safety objective. — PolitiTweet.org

- One Black woman reported that she lost her housing because she had to decide between paying her rent or paying her attorney to challenge a wrongful citation. The charge was ultimately dismissed, but as of 2021, she was still living out of her car. — PolitiTweet.org

- Black individuals comprise 19% of the Minneapolis population yet make up 78% of all searches conducted during traffic stops. - MPD officers are more likely to use force against Black individuals during a traffic stop than white individuals in similar circumstances — PolitiTweet.org

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN

- Although Black individuals comprise about 19% of the Minneapolis population, 63% of all use of force incidents that MPD officers recorded were against Black individuals. — PolitiTweet.org

Reminder that voter fraud is about as common as getting struck by lightning. As a force to investigate it, this police unit will be useless. As a force to intimidate, harass, and punish poor and Black voters, I'm sure they'll be very helpful. — PolitiTweet.org

Billionaire wealth grew to $5 trillion during the pandemic—a 70% increase—while their average tax rate was just 8 percent. We can absolutely afford to tax billionaire wealth and cancel student debt. All of it. — PolitiTweet.org
