NEW: DOJ’s watchdog knocks Trump administration for retreating from police reform and calls for “urgent” and “swift” action to improve community trust in law enforcement, one of “the most pressing challenges” DOJ is facing. huffpost.com/entry/doj-trum…
DOJ watchdog says the Trump administration "has not fully effectuated" the tools it has to improve policing and that DOJ should use "all available tools to address these issues to the fullest extent practicable.” huffpost.com/entry/doj-trum…
"The Department’s efficacy as guardian of the rule of law depends on public confidence that justice is being administered fairly and impartially. Accountability and transparency are critical to building public trust and legitimacy." huffpost.com/entry/doj-trum… 
This may be written in the dispassionate tone of an inspector general, but it’s pretty significant. They put erosion of trust in law enforcement at the top of their list of DOJ challenges. They even named George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. huffpost.com/entry/doj-trum…
Sure, they toss the outgoing attorney general a bone by quoting one thing he said once, but also call out the Trump DOJ for cutting back on pattern-or-practice probes. huffpost.com/entry/doj-trum…
They also call out the Trump DOJ for what they did to the Obama administration’s Collaborative Reform Initiative, which the Trump administration effectively killed and rebranded as CRI-TAC. huffpost.com/entry/trump-do…
