Police have again provided false information about “violent suspects” who then end up dead. This absolutely happened in the George Floyd case. It happened again this weekend in Uptown after a man was shot and authorities claimed the person was a murder suspect. He was not.

The police have a very real credibility problem here in the Twin Cities and across the country. It seems clear that they lie was it strikes their fancy or until somebody introduces a video camera to contradict the statements.

I appear on Am 950 in Minneapolis with Matt McNeil to discuss the criminal justice system, credibility and what happens when the police lie. This will be a early interesting conversation.
