cnn.com/cnn/2020/06/23/us/prโ€ฆ Women make up only 1 in 8 sworn officers nationwide but have far fewer complaints of using excessive force.

The new documentary โ€œWomen in Blueโ€ directed by @deirdrefishel explores the fight for gender equity and police reform inside the Minneapolis Police Department. โ€œI was viewed differently because I was a female officer,โ€ says former MPD Inspector CJ Johnson.
