"I believe there are a lot of people working in Minnesota to produce justice but I also think there are many forces working against it and we have to recognize this is a systemic issue and it's not just good enough to fire the individual who put the decorations up," said Minneapolis NAACP President Leslie Redmond.

Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo also issued a statement, saying he was appalled by the incident.

"I am ashamed and appalled by the behavior of those who would feel comfortable to act in such a manner that goes against our core department values of Trust, Accountability and Professional Service." said Arradondo.

A source has confirmed to KSTP that at least one of the officers was fired. It was also confirmed by Minneapolis police spokesperson John Elder that their last days employed by the Minneapolis Police department were August 1, 2019 and August 5, 2019.
