Court: Cop who shot Castile wrongly denied teaching license

The appeals court said that upon reconsideration, the board must identify factors it is using to determine whether Yanezโ€™s conduct โ€œviolated moral standards for the teaching profession." โ€œThe boardโ€™s decision must focus exclusively on Yanezโ€™s conduct and his fitness to be a teacher, not fitness to be a police officer,โ€ the appeals court ruled. Yanez, a former St. Anthony police officer, shot Castile during a traffic stop after Castile, who was Black, said he had a gun. In February 2020, he applied for a substitute teaching license, according to the appeals court ruling. The board ultimately denied Yanez's application.

AG: Woman misused funds raised in Philando Castile's name

A St. Paul professor who led a viral crowdfunding campaign to pay off student lunch debts in Philando Castileโ€™s name spent less than half of the $200,000 she raised on the intended purpose, Minnesotaโ€™s attorney general said Thursday. The Star Tribune reported that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellisonโ€™s office filed a civil enforcement action in Ramsey County District Court against Pamela Fergus, alleging a breach of charitable trust, deceptive solicitation of charitable contributions, failure to maintain proper records and unregistered solicitation of contributions. โ€œPhilando Castile cared deeply about the children he served and the children loved Mr. Phil right back,โ€ said Ellison, calling Castile a โ€œheroโ€ in his lunchroom.

Floyd spurred broad push for change globally, activists say

People will remember 2020 not just as a year of upheaval over George Floyd, but as a year in which people demanded and took bold action toward systemic change, said Armstrong, a civil rights attorney and activist. This time the victim was George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black father of five captured in a sickening citizen video taking his final breaths under a white officerโ€™s knee. Still, for Wallace, the situation confirmed to him that systemic change has to be deep and structural. โ€œYouโ€™ll march for George Floyd,โ€ the activist said, โ€œbut would you have hired him?โ€____Morrison reported from New York City.

Floyd family to announce lawsuit against Minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS Attorneys for George Floyd's family plan to announce a lawsuit Wednesday against the city of Minneapolis and the police officers who are charged in his death. Attorney Ben Crump planned a late-morning news conference in Minneapolis to detail the lawsuit. Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter. Floyd's death also sparked calls to abolish the Minneapolis Police Department and replace it with a new public safety department. According to documents in state probate court, Floyd is survived by 11 known heirs, including five children and six siblings.

US police registry would fail without changes in states

Without major changes in almost every state, a national police misconduct database like what the White House and Congress have proposed after George Floyd's death would fail to account for thousands of problem officers. But states and police departments track misconduct very differently, and some states currently don't track it at all. In the wake of Floyd's death, lawmakers in several states have proposed bolstering their states' powers to identify and remove problem officers. Most states can decertify an officers license to prevent a bad one from working in law enforcement. Neither does the federal government for most of its estimated 130,000 law enforcement officers, including agents in the FBI, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Border Patrol.

For Ellison, Floyd case brings pressure -- and opportunity

Doing so is giving Ellison a national platform to talk about race in America. Ellison, the first African American elected to his job, is now tasked with nothing less than making that system work. What we need is accountability from a top lawyer like Keith Ellison to put these cops in jail. If Ellisons national reputation was as a progressive purist, his work as attorney general has been more tempered. The Floyd case could bring some tensions with progressives who have long viewed Ellison as an uncompromising ally.

Dave Chappelle speaks on George Floyd in new Netflix special

NEW YORK An angry and emotional Dave Chappelle spoke on the killing of George Floyd in a surprise Netflix special, saying America was being punished for its mistreatment of black men. The special was released Thursday and is streaming free on Netflixs comedy YouTube channel. It was taken from a show at an outdoor pavilion in Yellow Springs, Ohio, with about 100 attendees on June 6. Chappelle called his special 8:46 in part after the length of time the officer was on top of the handcuffed Floyd. When I watched that tape, I understood this man knew he was going to die, said the comedian.

Long seen as radical, Black Lives Matter goes mainstream

Black Lives Matter has gone mainstream and black activists are carefully assessing how they should respond. Its very name enraged its foes, who countered with the slogans Blue Lives Matter and All Lives Matter." Black Lives Matter has gone mainstream and black activists are carefully assessing how they should respond. When we started Black Lives Matter, it was really to have a larger conversation around this country about its relationship to black people, said Patrisse Cullors, one of three black women who founded the Black Lives Matter Global Network, with chapters throughout the U.S. and in Britain and Canada. Last week, longtime Sacramento Kings TV broadcaster Grant Napear resigned after tweeting ALL LIVES MATTER when asked his opinion on the Black Lives Matter movement.

Urgent meeting of UN rights body sought after Floyd killing

A spokesman for the Human Rights Council in Geneva confirmed that it had received a letter Monday from the groups outlining their call, as Black Lives Matter protests continue to gain traction well beyond the United States notably in Europe. I want to appeal to the United Nations to help him. Help black men and women in America, he added. Its time the United States face the same scrutiny and judgment it is quick to pass on to other countries, said Jamil Dakwar, who heads the ACLUs human rights program. The Trump administration pulled the United States out of the council two years ago amid accusations that it was biased against Israel and counted some repressive or autocratic regimes that abuse human rights as members.

Minneapolis police face civil rights probe over Floyd death

Tim Walz and the Minnesota Department of Human Rights announced the filing of the formal complaint at a news conference Tuesday afternoon. The FBI is also investigating whether police willfully deprived Floyd of his civil rights. The Minnesota Department of Human Rights enforces the states human rights act, particularly as it applies to discrimination in employment, housing, education, public accommodations and public services. The Minneapolis Police Department has faced decades of allegations of brutality and other discrimination against African Americans and other minorities, even within the department itself. Arradondo himself was among five black officers who sued the police department in 2007 over alleged discrimination in promotions, pay, and discipline.

Officials see extremist groups, disinformation in protests

(Doral Chenoweth/The Columbus Dispatch via AP)WASHINGTON U.S. officials are seeking to determine whether extremist groups had infiltrated police brutality protests across the country and deliberately tipped largely peaceful demonstrations toward violence and if foreign adversaries were behind a burgeoning disinformation campaign on social media. As demonstrations spread from Minneapolis to the White House, New York City and overseas Sunday, federal law enforcement officials insisted far-left groups were stoking violence. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss investigations. But there are signs of people with other disparate motives, including anarchist graffiti, arrests of some out-of-state protesters, and images circulating in extremist groups that suggest the involvement of outside groups. As a result, soldiers with the Minnesota National Guard were armed during their mission at protests across the state Sunday, the officials said.

Before Floyd death, activists saw progress on police reforms

Law enforcement officers amassed along Lake Street near Hiawatha Ave. as fires burned after a night of unrest and protests in the death of George Floyd early Friday, May 29, 2020 in Minneapolis. Floyd died after being restrained by Minneapolis police officers on Memorial Day. The city appointed its first black chief of police nearly three years ago, after slow progress toward making the department more inclusive. Earlier this year, a statewide task force made up of activists, people representing victims of police brutality, and law enforcement leaders released recommendations for policing reforms. Those included Clark, who was killed during a struggle with two white Minneapolis officers, and Philando Castile, who was fatally shot by a Hispanic suburban police officer during a traffic stop in 2016.
