Minnesota has issues with its law enforcement. The concept of northern rednecks comes to mind.

FACTS :

Slave patrols called patrollers, patterrollers, pattyrollers or paddy rollers[citation needed], by the slaves, were organized groups of white men who monitored and enforced discipline upon black slaves in the antebellum U.S. southern states.

The slave patrols' function was to police slaves, especially runaways and defiant slaves. They also formed river patrols to prevent escape by boat. Slave patrols were first established in South Carolina in 1704, and the idea spread throughout the colonies.

Related jobs: slave catcher

Activity sectors: U.S. southern states

Names: patrollers, patterrollers, pattyrollers, paddy rollers

1669
Virginia passes an act regarding the casual killing of slaves: "If any slave resist his master (or other by his master’s order correcting him) and by the extremity of the correction should chance to die, that his death shall not be accompted felony."

“Torrance police traded racist, homophobic texts. It could jeopardize hundreds of cases

The caption read “hanging with the homies.”

The picture above it showed several Black men who had been lynched.
Another photo asked what someone should do if their girlfriend was having an affair with a Black man. The answer, according to the caption, was to break “a tail light on his car so the police will stop him and shoot him.”

Innovations in Addressing Racism and Police Excessive Use of Force

A strategic framework for addressing systemic racial bias

By James Bourey and Richard Myers | Nov 01, 2020 | PM MAGAZINEARTICLE

Racial Disparities in Law Enforcement Stops :

* Black Californians are more than twice as likely to be searched as white Californians, at about 20 percent versus 8 percent of all stops.

* Searches of Black civilians are somewhat less likely to yield contraband and evidence than searches of white civilians. Overall, searches yielded contraband or evidence in about one-fifth of all searches.

* Black people are overrepresented in stops not leading to enforcement—defined as an officer declining to issue even a warning—as well as in stops leading to an arrest.

* Black individuals are almost twice as likely to be booked into jail as white individuals.

* While differences in locale and context for the stop—such as when an officer has knowledge of an outstanding warrant—significantly contribute to racial disparities, notable inequities remain after accounting for such factors.
