Garland's DOJ further signals willingness to hold police accountable

The decision to charge officers involved in Breonna Taylor's death is not an isolated incident by Merrick Garland's Justice Department

Merrick Garland's Justice Department took another big step today in cracking down on police departments and police officers who allegedly violate civil rights, particularly when it comes to unconstitutional uses of force.

Garland announced Thursday that the DOJ has brought federal charges against four current and former Lousiville Metro Police Officers stemming from the botched 'no-knock' raid in 2020 that killed Breonna Taylor.
