The Justice Department's investigation into the Memphis Police Department revealed a disturbing pattern of excessive force and discrimination, especially towards the city's Black residents, highlighting systemic issues in policing.
The Memphis case is one of 12 investigations the DOJ launched into law enforcement agencies since April 2021, emphasizing the ongoing scrutiny and calls for reform following high-profile incidents of police misconduct.
Investigations have consistently revealed illegal police practices. The findings underscore that these issues are not isolated incidents, but rather part of a broader systemic problem within law enforcement.
The murder of George Floyd sparked nationwide protests and a reckoning over racism. This has led to increased investigations and scrutiny of police practices across several cities, including Minneapolis and Memphis.
