Biden DOJ's Minneapolis policing probe signals return to Obama-era crusade for police reform
Fox News
The Justice Department's new investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department will look into the ongoing practices and examine possible legal violations, reminiscent of past probes under the Obama administration.
"Usually when the Justice Department finds unlawful practices or patterns of practices the local police department enters into a settlement agreement or a consent decree to ensure that prompt and effective action is taken to align policing practices with the law," Garland said. The Baltimore consent decree, entered into by the city in April 2017 following the death of Freddie Gray, called for changes that included instituting a community oversight task force, mandatory annual training for community policing and "problem-oriented" policing, new policies regarding stops, searches, arrests, use of force, and transporting people in custody.More Related News
