U.S. Minneapolis officers found to engage in racist policing: report

NEW YORK, April 28 (Xinhua) -- The Minneapolis Police Department, in the U.S. state of Minnesota, routinely engages in several forms of racially discriminatory policing, fails to hold officers accountable for misconduct and has used fake social media accounts to target Black people and organizations, The New York Times has reported, citing an investigation released on Wednesday by the state's Department of Human Rights.

The Minneapolis Police Department has a "culture that is averse to oversight and accountability," and city and department leaders have failed to act with "the necessary urgency, coordination and intentionality required" to correct its extensive problems, the investigation concluded.
