The
Louisville Metro Police Department engaged in systemic civil rights
abuses and excessive-force misconduct in the years leading up to the
2020 police killing of Breonna Taylor, according to the findings of a federal investigation released Wednesday that is likely to require the department to undergo sweeping changes.
The
Justice Department’s probe found that officers carried out unlawful and
unconstitutional policing, including conducting searches that were
based on invalid warrants, executing search warrants without knocking
and announcing their presence, making unlawful stops and targeting those
who spoke out against abusive policing during mass protests or even
day-to-day interactions.
