Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says a police officer will be fired for a “racist display” in the form of Christmas tree decorations in the North Side precinct, though African-American community leaders say the damage is already done.

A photo circulated social media Friday showing the Fourth Precinct tree decorated with a Newport cigarette pack, a can of Steel Reserve malt liquor, police tape, a bag of Takis and a cup from Popeyes Louisiana Chicken — all items longtime civil rights activist Ron Edwards called a “wink wink” to racist stereotypes against black people.

“It’s a modern day version of a dog whistle, tainted with racism, specifically against the African-American community,” he said.

Frey quickly responded to community outrage as the photo circulated Twitter and Facebook Friday morning.
