'Our hearts are broken after watching the appalling video,' UMN President Joan Gabel wrote in a letter to the campus.
President Joan Gabel on Wednesday said the school would sever some security arrangements with the city police department.
The university will no longer contract with the Minneapolis Police Department for added enforcement at large events such as football games and concerts, Gabel said, per. And it will cease using city police for K-9 bomb detection and other specialized services. “Our hearts are broken after watching the appalling video capturing the actions of Minneapolis Police Department officers against George Floyd leading to his tragic death,” Gabel said in a letter to students, staff and faculty. “As a community, we are outraged and grief-stricken. I do not have the words to fully express my pain and anger and I know that many in our community share those feelings, but also fear for their own safety. This will not stand.
The mayor denounced the police conduct and four officers were fired the next day. The mayor and protesters say cops should face criminal charges.
