By Wesley Lowery and Wesley Lowery National correspondent covering law enforcement, justice and their intersection with politics and policy Email Bio Follow Matt Zapotosky Matt Zapotosky National security reporter covering the Justice Department Email Bio Follow May 14 at 4:55 PM House Democrats on Tuesday issued a sweeping request for documents related to the Justice Department’s oversight of local police departments to assess the extent to which the agency has abandoned efforts to force...
“Despite continuing concerns from civil rights and community-based organizations, the Department has sharply curtailed its statutory role in identifying and eradicating civil rights abuses by law enforcement,” Nadler wrote in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post. “Excessive force in police-civilian encounters presents a crisis of trust throughout our nation.
Barr said at his confirmation hearing in January that he agreed with Sessions’s policy on consent decrees, though he also questioned whether it would make the use of consent decrees more difficult. “Of course, the department has a role in pattern and practice violations,” he asserted.
What a mess the Obama Administration left.
How many riots were there under Obama? And, how many under Trump? Enough said.
Democrats? It should say 'people' demand
Stop people from being stupid
End the brutality on cops.
No
WHY blame the police? America can see the REAL problems here. It's nation wide and exclusive to ONE race. FACTS don't lie it's the culture that kills. Police are caught in the middle. March for truth,change .
This is what we need a national emergency on. Police 👮♀️ 👮♂️ can get away with arresting anyone without due cause and then say that the person resisted arrest. They plant drugs and paraphernalia and use what’s clearly excessive force and still get off. We REALLY need police reform.
Ahh, we are back to this again.
Demand.
Police kill more Americans than ISIS!
The nationwide popularity of cellphones makes it possible to abolish police patrols. We can change the law to limit cops’ power of arrest to 9|11 phone call complaints

‘Things were often a bit not normal’: Rosenstein gets fond, jokey send-off from Justice Dept.After two tumultuous years, the official who oversaw Mueller probe prepares to leave the government. He is definitely zzy and at least knows what he is up to. He's a very clear case of what's actually going on in the country. He's clearly loving the 'America is a continent', a routine routine, and he's not afraid to anticipate the consequences of his actions. I hate those traitors. All three of them. Don’t let the door hit ya 🖕🏻
