Abe & Baker: Episode 20-Is the Minneapolis Police Department Racist?

Abe & Baker: Episode 20-Is the Minneapolis Police Department Racist?

In this episode former Minneapolis police officers, Chris and Karina Kelley, discuss whether or not the Minneapolis Police Department is racist; they examine the findings from the report issued by the Minnesota Department of Human Rights as well as some key take aways from NPR News. 

We want to honor the following police officers who died in the line of duty-their life mattered and they will never be forgotten:

Deputy Sheriff John Durm (Marion County Sheriff's Office-Indiana). Sheriff Durm was killed on 7/10/23 when he was attacked by a prisoner in the sally port of the correctional facility after he had returned from transporting him to the hospital. Sheriff Durm's wife and son also serve with the Marion County Sheriff's Office. Please remember Deputy Sheriff John Durm for his devotion to service. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten!

Police Officer Jessica Ebbighausen (Rutland Police Department-Vermont). Officer Ebbighausen was killed in the line of duty on 7/7/23 while responding to a burglary call; Officer Ebbighausen's patrol car was hit by the suspect fleeing the scene and while in pursuit by other officers going the opposite direction. Officere Ebbighausen was so young and her death has hit her family and community extremely hard. Please remember that your life mattered and you will also never be forgotten!   (Officer Down Memorial Page)
