WATCH: 'I’ve never been to a DOA involving a Somali — never in my career' A former Minneapolis police officer who recently retired explains that even though he worked the streets for decades in the Somali community, he has never been to a call involving the death of a Somali. “I find it very strange that something that happens routinely in the department on a daily basis, that you do not see any Somali DOAs. It’s very odd. I would love to know the reason why,” he added.
