In a Friday meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland, some members of law enforcement and police unions expressed concerns with the announced probe into the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD).
Earlier this week, the Department of Justice announced it would investigate the MPD to determine if officers participate in unlawful practices. This move came after a jury found former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin guilty on all three counts in the death of George Floyd.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. Around 30 people rallied along Florin Road in South Sacramento to call for changes to law enforcement Friday evening.
Members of the Party for Socialism & Liberation of Sacramento acknowledged the conviction of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd as justice served. They say a lot more work needs to be done and they plan to continue to fight.
“Just because you know one or two major criminal cops get sentenced to sentence doesn’t mean that actual justice is served,” said Bryan Isaac, who joined the protest.

Friday’s ribbon cutting ceremony marked a 13-year journey for the D’Iberville Police Department. From a double-wide trailer to a brand new, custom 14,000 square foot building, Chief Payne has been with the department since the beginning. “It’s really not about me, it’s about these officers that pin that badge on every day and go out and protect our citizens. And this is something they can be proud of, something our citizens can be proud of. It’s just a great day.”
