The Justice Department and the city of Louisville reached a deal on reforms after an investigation prompted by the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor.
The U.S. Justice Department and the city of Louisville have reached an agreement to reform the city’s police force after an investigation prompted by the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor and police treatment of protesters, officials said Thursday. The consent decree, which must be approved by a judge, follows a federal investigation that found Louisville police have engaged in a pattern of violating constitutional rights and discriminating against the Black community.
It is a promise to our officers and our professional staff that we are going to lead them and support them the right way.” The Justice Department report released in March 2023 said the Louisville Police Department “discriminates against Black people in its enforcement activities,” uses excessive force and conducts searches based on invalid warrants. It also said the department violates the rights of people engaged in protests.
