Although the four officers were prompty fired, and soon faced criminal charges, they continued to hold licenses to work as police officers.[1] According to the Star Tribune the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) did not start a review of their licenses to work as police officers until June 17, 2020.
