It took less than two weeks after George Floyd's killing for Minneapolis City Council members to pledge to end the police department. But activists had been laying the groundwork for years.

Federal prosecutors say they couldn't find evidence to support claims that Jamar Clark was shot to death while handcuffed. Protesters had demanded charges against two police officers.

A county prosecutor said the men were charged with what the evidence supported, and that charging them with hate crimes would not add "one iota of time" to their possible sentences.
