DOJ launches broad investigation into Minneapolis policing

The Justice Department has launched a federal civil probe into the policing policies in Minneapolis. The investigation comes a day after former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted for the murder of George Floyd. Tom Perez is a former Assistant Attorney General and the former Head of the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice. He walks Anderson Cooper through what the investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department will look like in terms of resources and timeline. Plus, in an exclusive interview, George Floyd’s sister Bridgette Floyd joins AC360 to discuss how she’s feeling after the guilty verdict and says justice for her would be Chauvin getting the maximum sentence for each charge.
