Last month, former police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of second- and third-degree murder ​for the death of George Floyd, ​as well as second-degree manslaughter.

That outcome prompted the U.S. Justice Department to launch an investigation into the practices of the Minneapolis Police Department. 

That spotlight on policing in the city is largely welcomed by civil rights groups.
