DOJ ends police reform deals, halts department probes

Nearly five years after George Floyd’s murder, the Trump administration is moving to dismiss federal oversight agreements in Louisville and Minneapolis reached following the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor and police killing of Floyd, and dropping investigations into several major US police departments.

The move, announced by the head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, reflects the administration’s opposition to agreements that require reforms of police departments where the DOJ found a pattern of misconduct.

CNN’s Victor Blackwell speaks with Michael Harrison, who led police departments in New Orleans and Baltimore.
