2. Some examples from the DOJ report:

The report describes a 2019 case of "egregious misconduct" where an officer "smacked, kicked, and used a taser on a teen accused of shoplifting."

The officer called the teen a "mother---er," and conducted an interrogation without a Miranda warning. The case was referred for coaching, but there was no indication any coaching occurred, the DOJ report said.

In another case, an MPD sex crimes sergeant used her personal cell phone to contact a sexual assault survivor and inadvertently sent the woman a picture of a "partially unclothed man." The sergeant was referred for coaching, but there was no indication coaching occurred. The complaint was dismissed four years later because the "Reckoning Period Expired."
