(Washington, DC) -- The Justice Department is reportedly launching an investigation of police practices in Minneapolis. Attorney General Merrick Garland has scheduled a news conference at the Justice Department this morning. The move comes a day after the guilty verdicts in the Derek Chauvin murder trial. The now-former Minneapolis police officer was convicted of killing George Floyd last May. Floyd was an unarmed Black man who died in police custody.
