Brooklyn Center police recruitment video draws backlash

The video, which appeared last month on the city's website and social media platforms, was taken down following the criticism. A message on the city's website says the video is unavailable, but it continues to circulate on social media.

Speakers at the rally demanded the city hold accountable the people who made and approved the recruitment video.
