Areva Martin on Racism Routine Among Minneapolis Police: ‘This Is Not a New Issue’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MARTIN: "What’s even more troubling for me, Wolf, is that activists on the ground in Minneapolis have been alerting its city leadership about these problems for years, these problems aren’t new, the community knew about them. Like the activists in the piece earlier, it seems like the police department in the city, they were more comfortable paying out millions of dollars in police brutality settlements than making the real changes needed to provide constitutional policing to people of color. This is not a new issue. Black people have been disproportionally negatively policed in this country for decades."
