The cops were charged.

Only the original 4 who murdered George Floyd were charged. None of the other police in Mpls who shot citizens, instigated riots, and actively harmed peaceful protesters haven't, and will never be charged.

After the protests, the MPLS police gave up. They will now only show up to a call if and I quote "There is a dead body"
