over the years several police forces have been put under Fed scrutiny, Detroit's included. One major change was to make the racial make up, especially in command positions, look like the community. Minneapolis's police does not look like the community.

There’s a ton out there you could read. But factually, I think the MPD is fairly diverse already.
If someone breaks into your house, armed, then send the armed police. But, first, that happens pretty rarely, and, second, they likely won’t get there before the burglars are gone anyway (unless it’s an even more rare hostage situation. What actually happens some is that someone breaks into your apartment while you were gone and the responding officer is going to come and write a report on it. Does that need a person with a gun?
