https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/merrick-garland-breonna-taylor-louisville-police-investigation/2021/04/26/822f756c-a6ab-11eb-8c1a-56f0cb4ff3b5_story.html
Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Monday that the Justice Department will open a civil investigation into the Louisville Metro Police Department, 13 months after the shooting death of Breonna Taylor, a Black woman whose killing was among the flash points that sparked mass social justice protests across the nation last summer.
Garland said the federal “pattern or practice” probe will seek to determine whether the Louisville police have engaged in a history of abusive and unlawful tactics with little accountability — marking the second time in five days he has sought to use federal power to examine a local law enforcement agency’s use of deadly force. Last week, he said the federal agency will investigate the Minneapolis Police Department, whose former officer, Derek Chauvin, was found guilty in the killing of George Floyd, a Black man, last May.
Garland said the Louisville investigation will seek to determine whether the department engages in unreasonable force, unconstitutional searches and seizures and unlawful executions of search warrants on private homes. It also will examine how the Louisville police tactics impact racial groups, he said.
The goal, Garland said, is to “ensure the policing policies and practices are constitutional and lawful.”
Breonna Taylor’s city is ‘in crisis.’ A new police chief tasked with healing brings her own baggage.
Taylor, 26, was shot and killed in Louisville in March 2020 after three plainclothes white officers forced entry to her apartment during an apparent investigation into drug dealing. Taylor’s boyfriend fired a warning shot, prompting the officers to respond with 32 shots, including six that struck Taylor.
The Louisville Police Department fired one officer — who is facing charges of three counts of wanton endangerment in the first degree for firing bullets that penetrated an adjacent apartment — and the city agreed to pay Taylor’s family $12 million. None of the officers has been charged in Taylor’s death. During the mass protests that erupted after Floyd’s death, civil rights advocates demanded accountability for Taylor and numerous other Black people killed by police.
“The relationship between law enforcement and our community has been deeply fractured and shattered by the lack of trust and the little-to-no accountability enforced when police commit a crime,” NAACP National President Derrick Johnson said in a statement after Garland’s announcement. “For far too long, killings at the hands of police have only led to one hashtag after another. But true justice comes with accountability and action.”
A woman killed. An officer shot. And no one legally responsible.
Garland’s twin announcements over the past five days reflected the urgency with which the Biden administration is aiming to address abusive policing. The Trump administration sought to end such investigations — which had been used with increasing frequency in the final years of President Barack Obama’s tenure — but Garland moved quickly to restore Justice Department’s ability to wield broad federal powers aimed at forcing policing reforms.
But such cases often take months to complete, experts said, and broad reforms can be slow to take hold even if department pursues a court-approved negotiated settlement, known as a consent decree, with a local law enforcement agency. Vanita Gupta, who helped oversee several Justice Department investigations into police agencies during the Obama administration, joined Garland’s leadership team last week as associate attorney general, the No. 3-ranking position.

Dislocated shoulder and a broken arm that was not treated for 6 hrs on a 73 yr old lady with dementia, what the hell happen to protect and serve. Seems like all cops are now sadists.

Video is doing more for police reform than any other factor, they can't lie their way out of it. Part of police reform will have to do with video, cops having to use it and release it and protection for citizens and rights to shoot independent video. Accountability will go a very long way to helping fix these issues along with careful vetting and training of new hires and close monitoring for a year, not 90 days. Any cop who does not report a bad cop or stop them will be considered part of a criminal conspiracy and will be fired and prosecuted with the other bad cop. No qualified immunity and a national bad cop registry.Dislocated shoulder and a broken arm that was not treated for 6 hrs on a 73 yr old lady with dementia, what the hell happen to protect and serve.

This is horrifying. How can they not have any understanding of just how fragile people can be. I know accidents happen, but the 'okay, you're gonna play' clearly shows they were in the process of amping up the pressure to send a message.
The look of 'oh shit. I am fucked' in triplicate.

Good effing god. He broke the shoulder of a 74 YO woman. A dementia patient, nonetheless. Then laughed about it.
I wish I could say I was surprised at the callous attitude of that old white cop. May he die in pain.
When people say "cops have a difficult job, they sometimes make bad decisions", I can't help but wonder what kind of world they think they live in. The only way this shit stops is if the cop is held responsible for outcomes. You can't trust their reports. You can't trust their intentions. The only way to stop police brutality is to remove those who brutalize. As was said by the commander of SAC in the 60's:
"I have neither the time nor the inclination to differentiate between the incompetent and the merely unfortunate".
When people's lives are at stake, the people holding power must be held accountable for the outcomes of their actions.

He worked in three counties in my neck of the woods. His own body camera was what caught him.

Couldn't read the article, using some kind of built in ad blocking in the Microsoft browser and I ain't gonna spend a half hour trying to find out how to turn the fucker off!
It sounds like a plea deal made by some capital hill insurrectionist, any other crimes that they are aware of etc.
I figure Rudy's plea deal will include handing Donald's head to Uncle Sam on a silver platter for the insurrection, plus he will have to make a PSA for TV confessing the big lie, to help mitigate his crimes and the damage to the country. It's getting interesting.

Another horrifying murder by the police.
The Washington post has the entire body cam. This poor guy was not right, and this cop starts out by bending the guys arm up which is very painful.

Maybe cops should not talk anymore to people. Listening to this is so hard because they are using their 'calming voices' the entire duration of murdering this poor man.
If talking is required someone without a gun or threat of physical force should be the one doing it.

This is the problem I have with Joe Rogan. He uses his platform to push propaganda and I do not doubt that this dick cop is some mma wannabe getting his rocks off trying to do a Kimura on some poor out of his mind homeless guy. Linking Rogan's political garbage that is dangerous to a cop who murdered someone in my mind.
There is no way for a dude like this to be able to be in cuffs without it being painful.
Then while kneeling on his neck saying 'we will take care of you Mario' in his nice calm voice.
There is a edit on the Washington Post video right before they realize he is dead.
There is no way that big guy was not completely gassed after a minute. He was no risk at all. The cops need to dominate killed that man.

I had a young border agent find a bag of pot in my suitcase years ago and when they found it they yelled “drugs” and threw me on the ground and put a gun to my head (.5oz). The older guy came over and was like “WTF are you doing. Pulled the junior chipmunk wanna be Clint Eastwood off me and took me inside and apologized. Hopefully that fucker is no longer in law enforcement

Yep hard to attract tourists with surly arrogant assholes on the border, "Welcome to America, drop your pants and bend over" is not a major selling point.I had a young border agent find a bag of pot in my suitcase years ago and when they found it they yelled “drugs” and threw me on the ground and put a gun to my head (.5oz).

I wonder when the government is gonna get around to wiping away the records of people who are no longer criminals. Do gay people who were busted years ago for being who they are still have criminal records? The ones the police in Ontario caught with that marvelous invention called the "Fruit machine".

Huntsville police officer charged with murder doesn’t want dead person called victim
An attorney for Huntsville police officer William Darby, 28, that referring to Jeffrey Parker as a “victim” would inflame the jury and make it sound like the officer is guilty.
