The family of a black man who was shot to death by Minneapolis police in 2015 has filed a federal lawsuit accusing two officers of excessive use of force.
Records show Minneapolis police officers accumulated more than $900,000 in overtime during the protests outside a precinct station last year. Public records that show total costs to the city topped $1 million, including more than $58,000 for fencing, lighting, scaffolding and repairs to damaged property at the 4th District precinct.
Civil rights activists are planning a rally in Minneapolis to demand charges against two Minneapolis police officers involved in the fatal shooting of a black man.
The Minneapolis police chief has issued a video message to potential protesters in advance of an upcoming decision on whether two officers will be charged in the November death of a black man.
When a young black man was killed in a confrontation with two police officers last November, Minneapolis became the latest city to endure weeks of street protests.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman says he's changed his mind and will not rely on a grand jury to decide whether two Minneapolis police officers should be charged in last November's shooting death of a black man
