    This toolkit was created through a collaboration with MediaJustice's Disinfo Defense League as a resource for people and organizations engaging in work to dismantle, defund, and abolish systems of policing and carceral punishment, while also navigating trials of police officers who murder people in our communities. Trials are not tools of abolition; rather, they are a (rarely) enforced consequence within the current system under the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC) for people who murder while working as police officers. Police are rarely charged when they commit these murders and even less so when the victim is Black. We at MPD150 are committed to the deconstruction of the PIC in its entirety and until this is accomplished, we also honor the need for people who are employed as police officers to be held to the same laws they weaponize against our communities. We began working on this project in March of 2021 as our city was bracing for the trial of Derek Chauvin, the white police officer who murdered George Floyd, a Black man, along with officers J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane while Tou Thao stood guard on May 25th, 2020. During the uprising that followed, Chauvin was charged with, and on April 20th, 2021 ultimately found guilty of, second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. Municipalities will often use increased police presence in an attempt to assert control and further criminalize Black and brown bodies leading up to trials of police officers, and that is exactly what we experienced in Minneapolis. During the early days of the Chauvin trial, Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old Black man was murdered by Kim Potter, a white Brooklyn Center police officer, during a traffic stop on April 11th, 2021.

  • Charter Commission Public Safety Comments July 20
    7/20/2020 4:04:40 PM My name is 00000 00000000, and I am a resident of Minneapolis. I support divestment from police and reinvestment in our communities, and I am calling on the Charter Commission to let the people vote on the charter amendment. Over-policing and police violence have destroyed Black, brown and Indigenous communities while failing to keep us safe. Voters like me should have a role in determining the future of public safety in our city, because we know best what will allow all our neighborhoods to really thrive. This initiative is our best chance to build stronger, safer communities for everyone in Minneapolis. Please pass the charter amendment along to voters, and respect our democratic right to decide the future of our city. Ward 3 7/20/2020 4:04:51 PM I'm a member of Kenwood community, and I’d like to voice my support for the charter amendment to change the way our city handles public safety. To push the vote back another year is an act of disrespect and hate toward the marginalized people who are most impacted by the oppressive nature of our current system. Any member of the commission who thinks that waiting is best will lose the respect of the people they represent. Please listen to the calls of the people and allow this change to go through this year. Let the people decide for themselves! Ward 7 7/20/2020 4:06:35 PM I support the charter commission moving the current language of the amendment to a ballot vote in November.

  • JUSTICE RESOLUTION Meet on the Streets, George Floyd Square
    JUSTICE RESOLUTION Meet on the Streets, George Floyd Square August 7, 2020 Edited: August 12, 2020 Resolution 001 Topic: What does justice look like? On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was murdered by former Minneapolis Police Department officers. This event sparked an uprising by the community in protest to systemic racism within the City of Minneapolis (the City). On May 30, 2020, National Guard vehicles drove through the George Floyd memorial in the middle of the night, causing the community to establish barricades to prevent vehicles from entering the intersection. On June 2, 2020, the City of Minneapolis placed cement barricades at the street entrances of George Floyd Square1 for pedestrian safety. For weeks, city employees and community members engaged in conversations to discuss what happens next and address the needs of the community. On August 6, 2020, city employees informed a handful of community leaders and business owners that despite no consensus, the City intends to begin a phased removal of the barricades the week of August 17th. This resolution outlines demands for justice by community members who do not intend to allow the intersection of 38th Street East and Chicago Avenue South to open up without concrete actions of justice taken by the City in response to the murder of George Floyd. Whereas, the City killed a man in the street near the intersection of East 38th Street and ​ Chicago Avenue, Whereas, the definition of race equity as provided by the City Council of Minneapolis is, “The ​ development of policies, practices and strategic investments to reverse racial disparity trends, eliminate institutional racism, and ensure that outcomes and opportunities for all people are no longer predictable by race,”2 Whereas, the City Council of Minneapolis approved a resolution declaring that racism is a public ​ health emergency on July 17th, 2020,3 1 George Floyd Square is marked by 37th Street East, 39th Street East, Elliot Avenue South, and Columbus Avenue South.

  • Former Police Officer Found Guilty on All Three Counts in Death of Floyd
    Updated: Former police officer found guilty on all three counts in death of Floyd ST. PAUL, Minn. (CNS) — After a three-week trial, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all three counts April 20 in the May 25, 2020, death of George Floyd. The incident, captured on a bystanders’ video that went viral, sparked protests and riots across the Twin Cities, the nation and parts of the world. Chauvin, who is white, was found guilty by a jury that deliberated for more than 10 hours over two days of second- degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second- degree manslaughter in the death of Floyd, an African American. Just prior to the verdict being read, Minnesota’s Catholic bishops released a statement with their commitment — no matter what the jury decided — “to providing long-term leadership in eradicating structures of sin and racism in Minnesota and beyond.” “The Catholic Church in Minnesota invites all people of faith to come together to speak with one another in a civil and charitable manner. Let us pray with one another and for one another. Let us respect one another as children of God, created in his image,” the statement said. “There are no victims and no oppressors in the kingdom of God,” the statement concluded. “For our children’s sake, let us embrace our true identity, without waiting another day.” In a separate statement after the verdict, Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda of St. Paul and Minneapolis said that Jesus calls people, though their “shared brotherhood,” to “a deeper respect for all human life.” “We ask him to bring healing into our communities, comfort to the family of George Floyd and all who mourn, and satisfaction to those who thirst for justice,” he said.

The tragic death of George Floyd, a beloved community member, sparked global protests and expressions of grief that amplified the global conversation about racial injustice. Over the past 8 months, visitors have traveled from around the world to pay their respects to George Floyd’s memory at the intersection of 38th and Chicago, now known as George Floyd Square. Our grief in South Minneapolis has become a global grief and petition for justice within our community and for Black Liberation around the world. We hope that you will join us in an interfaith Day of Global Prayer on March 8th, 2021, either in-person at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis, MN beginning at 8am or virtually through your own coordinated or individual expressions of love and solidarity. We believe that prayer changes things, and that our resilience and the outpouring of devotion to upkeep of the site where George Floyd took his last breath is powerful. We are determined that his last breath will not be his final word.

MINNEAPOLIS — A former police officer who pressed his knee into George Floyd’s neck un- til well past Mr. Floyd’s final breath was found guilty of murder on Tuesday in a case that shook the nation’s conscience and drew millions into the streets for the largest racial justice protests in generations. The verdict, which could send the former officer, Derek Chauvin, to prison for decades, was a rare rebuke of police violence, follow- ing case after case of officers go- ing without charges or convic- tions after killing Black men, women and children. At the center of it all was an ex- cruciating video, taken by a teenage girl, that showed Mr. Chauvin, who is white, kneeling on the neck of Mr. Floyd, who was Black, for 9 minutes 29 seconds as Mr. Floyd pleaded for his life and bystanders tried to intervene. Mr. Floyd repeated “I can’t breathe” more than 20 times during the en- counter. The video, played on a horrify- ing loop for the past year, trig- gered more than calls for changes in policing.
