Minneapolis-St. Paul

Minneapolis is experiencing “self-inflicted wounds” as it pertains to the rise in crime, retired New York Police Department Detective Pat Brosnan told “America’s Newsroom” on Thursday as the city’s police department reportedly grapples with short-staffing.

A fiery crash shut both directions of a major interstate in Minnesota on Thursday as a snow squall was blasting across the state.

Minneapolis officials and the police commissioner are at odds over funding that would allow the city to enlist help from officers in other jurisdictions, while the department grapples with short-staffing, according to a recent report.

Tens of thousands of people are without power Wednesday across the Midwest as a potent system brought several inches of snow that caused hundreds of crashes across Minnesota and severe weather. 

Officials in Minneapolis are considering bringing in police from other jurisdictions as the city faces a shortage of officers and a wave of violent crime, according to a report on Monday.

Macalester College President Suzanne Rivera said she “care[s] deeply about both the wellbeing of our students and their right to practice civil disobedience.”

A judge on Thursday declined to move the location of the trial for the former Minneapolis police officers charged in connection with the death of George Floyd, and ruled that they will be tried in a single proceeding.

With the U.S. presidential election still undecided Wednesday, protests broke out in cities across the U.S., with many groups urging that every vote be counted in the race between President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

A group of protesters set off fireworks and spray-painted business storefronts in Minneapolis on Tuesday night, leading to the arrest of 14 people, police said.

The Minneapolis teenager who recorded the explosive video showing ex-officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on the neck of a handcuffed George Floyd before his death in police custody is now receiving a prestigious human rights award for capturing the cell phone footage.
