A long history of white supremacy marks Minnesota "law enforcement" including a devout allegiance to those who profit most from systemic prejudice:

Twin Histories: Segregation and Police Violence in Minneapolis - CounterPunch.org

"MPD, after forming in 1867, made its reputation as a goon squad loyal to local capitalists.

"Cops fought class wars—actual, violent wars—against striking workers. In 1889, streetcar employees struck for fifteen days, protesting slashed wages.

"Police intervened. Trailblazing labor reporter Eva Valesh witnessed 'a full force of police' ready to defend Thomas Lowry, the streetcar tycoon, and his property.

"'The mounted and foot police drew their clubs and dashed into the crowd,' she wrote of one crackdown, where 'patrol wagons carried full loads to the police station.'

"The strike ended on company terms."
