MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minneapolis City Council on Monday approved an agreement with the federal government in response to the murder of George Floyd that would require reforms within the city’s police department under long-term court supervision.

The Minneapolis City Council has approved a consent decree agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice that will implement major reform within the Minneapolis Police Department. The agreement comes after a two-year investigation from the DOJ into the MPD's patterns and practices.
