Thanks to @xankarnAlexander Karn for teaching me the word “lustration” today.

Failure to undertake sufficiently wide-reaching lustration and vetting of the Minneapolis Police is in my view one of the major failure of city government after the murder of George Floyd. It’s one of the reasons I’m still bitter about Mayor Frey, notwithstanding his excellent words on the national stage these past couple of months. https://mastodon.online/@xankarn/115955982521903310

There are other tools besides trials that might be appropriate. The US Dept. of State once had this web page up. https://2009-2017.state.gov/j/gcj/transitional/257569.htm
