I was jumped on the U of M campus and the police that arrived, one of them accused me of causing it. Although no one else was present in my house during the report, to accuse someone who was the victim of an attempted strangulation and attempted murder as the one who caused it is insane. I am white.
There is no doubt the Mpls. Police have had problems for a long time. Sounds like it is far worse now. Makes me really sad.
