I knew a guy that went to police academy and when he got done he served on the force for 2 years and left because he said the minneapolis police believe its "us vs them" not serving the public.
You have your opinion and I have mine.

The "us vs them" and racial profiling are unfortuntely true with the Minneapolis PD. Well, atleast the one that I road along with for a school project (friend of the family). She didn't bug one white person the whole time I was with, and only followed Latin-American people. She has been with "the force" for 15 years now. She may be biased because her first 10 were with the gang unit. Either way, I think most cops are good. I'm glad that AV cops pull people over for no reason. That only means that they have nothing else to do. The whole shooting the kid in the back thing that happened a couple years ago is BS though. I knew that kid, and to this day he is one of the top 3 smartest people I've ever met. He tought my psychology class a couple of times.
I think cops need to focus more on drunk drivers and theft more than anything else.
