BREAKING: DOJ probe finds that Louisville Police called Black citizens "monkeys," "animal," and "boy." Federal investigators found a pattern of unconstitutional behavior. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Breonna Taylor was a symptom of problems that we have had for years," one LMPD leader told federal investigators. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"For years, LMPD has practiced an aggressive style of policing that it deploys selectively, especially against Black people, but also against vulnerable people throughout the city." nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"The investigators did not find the comments 'unequivocally racially insensitive or offensive,' relying on the officer’s 'passionate declaration' that she was not racist." 
"LMPD investigators did not examine whether the officer’s threat to treat a young Black man 'like a fucking animal' reflected racial prejudice."
The extremist Three Percenters, a Louisville Police planning document stated, "want to help us" and are "patriotic citizens who love their country, their freedoms, and their liberty.”
