Justice Department and Louisville Reach Consent Decree for Police Reform After Breonna Taylor Killing, Pending Judicial Approval
Dec 13, 2024, 01:40 AM
The U.S. Justice Department and the city of Louisville have reached a significant agreement to reform the Louisville Police Department. This decision follows a comprehensive investigation prompted by the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor, which highlighted systemic issues within the police force, including discrimination against the Black community. The consent decree, which aims to address these violations, will require judicial approval before implementation. This marks the first such agreement reached under the Biden administration, reflecting ongoing efforts to enhance civil rights protections within law enforcement agencies. The deal comes after a three-year investigation into the police department's practices and their treatment of protesters during civil unrest.
