## Resource

An ACLU probe shines a harsh light on the Minneapolis Police Department after a 18-year veteran was fired for liking a Facebook post calling for lynching a suspect — a comment he claimed was about supporting capital punishment, not racial violence. Despite prior suspensions for misconduct including watching a guard assault a suspect and crashing a patrol car, the officer showed no remorse, prompting authorities to lose trust in his judgment. The incident reignites concerns about systemic issues like excessive force, even as the officer had completed social media training just a decade earlier.
