   Also notable: In Wisconsin, 8% of Republicans are voting for Biden, just 2% of Democrats going to Trump. And it is Republicans who say things are going badly where Biden is getting some of this crossover support: 10% in Pennsylvania and 14% in Wisconsin are voting for Biden.

    An NBC News review of Minneapolis police misconduct reports suggests the filing process is difficult and unclear and a large number are going uninvestigated.

      This has been going on for too long. This is just simply how these people do business and they act with impunity because they have always gotten away with it. Derek Chauvin was not an aberration, this is who they are.
      ———–
      “Idrissen Brown says he was sitting in his Minneapolis apartment watching a movie with his girlfriend when he heard pounding on the door. It was about 3:20 a.m. on a Sunday in March 2016 and the couple wasn’t expecting anyone after returning home from a night out.

      They opened the door and found four Minneapolis police officers who said they were responding to a call from a neighbor about a domestic dispute.
      …
      One of the officers grabbed him, threw him down the stairs and forced him into a squad car with another officer, Brown said. Instead of taking him to jail, Brown said, the cops brought him to an alley and pummeled him before dropping him off near his mother’s house.

      “When they turned the opposite direction of the jail, and he opened up the backseat and started to beat me some more, I thought I was going to die,” Brown said. ”I thought it was over.””

      She (Mrs. Obama) also talked about the police.

      Lester Holt had a report on the Minneapolis PD last night that was shocking even in these times. On the other hand, it really isn’t shocking to learn that a PD that tolerated the likes of Derek Chauvin had severe, systemic problems and not just a few bad cops.
