The US Department of Justice ends after George Floyd Police Reform Settlements | Donald Trump News

The administration of President Donald Trump has begun to end the federal government’s involvement in reforming local police departments, an effort for civil rights that gained a jacket after the death of unarmed blacks like George Floyd and Briona Taylor.

On Wednesday, the US Department of Justice announced that it would cancel two proposed levels that would see cities Louisville, KentuckyAnd Minynabolis, MinnesotaApproval of federal control over the police stations.

In general, these settlements – called approval ceremonies – involve a series of steps and goals that the two parties negotiate and that the Federal Court helps in enforcement.

In addition, the Ministry of Justice said it would withdraw reports on six other local police stations that have found patterns of discrimination and excessive violence.

The Trump administration has placed the announcement as part of its efforts to transfer greater responsibility towards individual cities and states – and away from the federal government.

“From our point of view in the Civil Rights Department of the Ministry of Justice under the Trump administration, Harit Delon said that the Federal Federal Department of Local Police must be a rare, not the rule,” said Haret Delon, Assistant Prosecutor at the Ministry of Justice.

She said that such federal censorship was a waste of taxpayers.

“There is a shortage of accountability. There is a lack of local control. There is an industry here, I think, tearing taxpayers and making citizens less safe.”

But civil rights leaders and police reform advocates were angry with the news, which arrived a few days before the fifth anniversary of Floyd.

The Sharbatoun priest was among the leaders who called for the police stations to take meaningful measures after a Virus video She seized Floyd’s last moments. On May 25, 2020, a white police officer, Derek Shofin, bowed his knee on the Floyd neck for more than nine minutes, causing suffocation and dying.

“This step is not just a reflection of politics,” Sharbaton said. “It is a moral decline that sends a chilling message that the accountability is optional when it comes to black and brown victims.”

He warned that the Trump administration’s move sent a signal to the police stations as “above scrutiny.”

Floyd was also distinguished by a number of other prominent deaths, including Taylor.

The 26 -year -old medical worker was in bed late at night on March 13, 2020, when the police used the multiplication scale to storm her apartment. Her boyfriend was afraid to attack and fired his pistol once. The police responded with a pursuit of bullets, killing Taylor, who was injured six times.

Her death and others raised a period of turmoil in the country in the United States, with Millions of people In protest in the streets as part of social justice movements such as Black Lives Matter. It is believed that the “racist account” of 2020 was one of the largest mass demonstrations in the history of the United States.

Those protests were revealed in the months to retract Trump’s first state, and when Democrat Joe Biden succeeded him as president in 2021, the Ministry of Justice embarked on a series of 12 investigations looking into allegations of overcoming police and excessive violence at the local level.

These investigations were called “pattern or practice” investigations, designed to consider whether the police brutality accidents were once or part of a larger direction in a specific police station.

Floyd’s murder took place in Minneapolis and Taylor in Louisville – the two cities in which the Justice Ministry decided to bring down its settlements on Wednesday. In both cities, under Biden’s leadership, I found the Ministry of Justice Discriminating police patterns.

“Police officers must often make decisions of the second division and risk their lives to maintain safe societies,” says the report on Minneapolis.

But he adds, that the local police administration “used dangerous techniques and weapons against people who committed at the most small crime and sometimes there is absolutely no crime.”

Other police stations that were examined during this period in Phoenix included Arizona; Memphis, Tennessee; Trenton, New Jersey; Vernon Mountain, New York; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; And the state of Louisiana state.

Dhillon, who is now running the Civil Rights Department at the Ministry of Justice, has declined the results of the Biden era as a policy axis. She also condemned the approval decrees as an excessive use tool and indicated that she would consider canceling some of the agreements that were already present.

This process may include the approval of the judge.

Although some community defenders have expressed fears that approval ceremonies can put a burden on the law enforcement that has already been developed, others do not agree to the recent move of the Ministry of Justice, on the pretext that the decline can lead to the abstraction of resources and momentum of the police reform.

At Louisville Police Department, President Paul Humphrey said that commitment to the performance of the police is better bypassed any settlement. He indicated that he will search for independent monitoring to oversee the reforms.

“It is not about these words on this paper,” he said. “It comes to the work that men and women will do in LMPD, men and women of the metro government and society together to make us a safer and better place.”

In Minneapolis, Mayor Jacob Fry doubled, saying he could continue to move forward in the police reform plan approved by his city.

He said in a press conference: “We will adhere to each group of each of the 169 -page approval decree that we signed this year.”

“We will make sure that we advance with every sentence from each paragraph of each of the settlement on the Ministry of Human Rights in Minnesota, as well as the approval decree.”
