Body camera footage reveals Minneapolis police officers talking about 'hunting' civilians
Body camera footage of Minneapolis police officers' response to the protests in the days after George Floyd's death reveals officers talking about "hunting" people as part of a response to quell the unrest.
In one video that is timestamped around 1 a.m., on May 31, 2020, then (he has since retired) Minneapolis Police Commander Bruce Folkens is heard telling an officer during a debrief, "Tonight it was just nice to hear, 'we're going to go find some more people, instead of chasing people around.'" He continued, "you guys are out hunting people now, and it's just a nice change of tempo."
