Minneapolis police internal affairs under assessment

There is no shortage of complaints about the Minneapolis Police Department's Internal Affairs Unit.

This was clear to any of the more than 30 people who attended the public forum at the Minneapolis Urban League North Monday night, the first of two forums that invited community members to voice their feelings on MPD's internal affairs.

One after another, community members shared vivid tales of racism, brutality and corruption they have experienced with the MPD's Internal Affairs Unit. The stories and complaints were exchanged for a full half hour later than the two hours the event was scheduled for.
