'Not surprising': Community reacts to DOJ retreat from Louisville consent decree

ACLU announces Seven States Safety Campaign as the DOJ abandons consent decrees in Louisville & Minneapolis.

TO BE DETERMINED AT A LATER DATE. WHILE ALL OF THIS LOOKS GOOD ON PAPER AND SOUNDS GOOD AT PRESS CONFERENCES, REAL CHANGE NEEDS TO BE EXPERIENCED. MAYOR GREENBERG SAYS THE CITY IS COMMITTED TO REFORM, BUT SOME COMMUNITY LEADERS ARE SKEPTICAL. OUR NORMAN SEAWRIGHT JOINS US LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN WITH WHAT THEY맥스카지노RE TELLING HIM. WHAT WE SAY, NORMAN. HEY. HEY, VICKY. YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. COMMUNITY LEADERS ARE CONCERNED, OF COURSE, WITH THE STATUS OF REFORMS. BUT THEY맥스카지노VE SAID SO FAR THAT WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP맥스카지노S JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, THEY NEVER ACTUALLY EXPECTED A JUDGE TO SIGN OFF ON THAT CONSENT DECREE. NOW THEY ARE CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE CITY맥스카지노S VOLUNTARY PLAN, BUT THEY ARE ALSO STILL EXTREMELY CONCERNED. IT IS DISAPPOINTING, BUT UNFORTUNATELY NOT SURPRISING, WHICH I GUESS IS ALSO DISAPPOINTING THAT THIS WAS ANTICIPATED. LOUISVILLE URBAN LEAGUE PRESIDENT AND CEO LYNDON PRYOR SAYS THEY PLANNED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO RETREAT FROM LOUISVILLE맥스카지노S CONSENT DECREE AND ENCOURAGE THE CITY TO ADOPT ITS OWN PLAN FOR POLICE REFORM, WHICH MAYOR CRAIG GREENBERG ANNOUNCED AT THE SAME TIME. BECAUSE WE KNEW THIS WAS A LIKELY OUTCOME THAT WE WE HAVE BEEN PUSHING THE MAYOR AND METRO COUNCIL AND OTHERS TO GO AHEAD AND PROCEED ALONE. BUT PRYOR AND ACLU OF KENTUCKY LEGAL DIRECTOR COREY SHAPIRO SAY FOR THE CITY맥스카지노S COMMUNITY COMMITMENT CONSENT DECREE TO MEAN ANYTHING. PARTNERS LIKE THE URBAN LEAGUE MUST BE INVOLVED. THAT맥스카지노S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE ORIGINAL CONSENT DECREE REALLY STRUCTURED AND SET OUT FOR US TO DO WAS TO FOR COMMUNITY TO PLAY A ROLE IN THAT. THESE POLICE TACTICS WERE NOT ONLY, YOU KNOW, EXCESSIVE FORCE AND IMPROPER STOPPING, BUT ALSO DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTING COMMUNITIES OF COLOR IN LOUISVILLE. AND SO IT맥스카지노S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE INCLUDE THOSE COMMUNITIES, SHAPIRO SAYS. TRANSPARENCY WILL BE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE. THE ACLU NATIONALLY AND OUR AFFILIATE, AS WELL AS COMMUNITY PARTNERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ARE LAUNCHING A COORDINATED OPEN RECORDS REQUEST. LOUISVILLE IS PART OF THE ACLU맥스카지노S SEVEN STATES SAFETY CAMPAIGN, WHERE THE DOJ, UNDER FORMER PRESIDENT BIDEN IDENTIFIED PATTERNS OF UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND RACIALLY DISCRIMINATORY POLICING. THE ACLU WILL TRY TO UNCOVER ONGOING POLICE MISCONDUCT, STEPPING IN WHERE THE DOJ IS WALKING AWAY. THE PROBLEM THROUGHOUT TIME HERE IN LOUISVILLE HAS BEEN A LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY. BUT SINCE THEY DON맥스카지노T HAVE LEGAL AUTHORITY LIKE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, THE ACLU IS LIMITED IN THIS EFFORT. WHICH IS WHY PRYOR SAYS POLICE REFORM IN LOUISVILLE NEEDS TO BE GOVERNED BY ORDINANCE, NOT JUST TRUST. THERE ARE NO REAL TEETH. WE ARE ESSENTIALLY ASKING FOR THE MAYOR AND LMPD TO JUST DO THIS ON THE HONOR SYSTEM. BUT IF WE CODIFY IT INTO LAW, IT ENSURES THAT IT HAS TO HAPPEN. THE ACLU ACTUALLY ANNOUNCED THAT CAMPAIGN TODAY, AND PRYOR SAYS FOR ANYONE WHO맥스카지노S FEELING DISMAYED BY ALL OF THIS, THE THING FOR GRASSROOTS EFFORTS LIKE THIS, YOU GOT TO MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD. IT맥스카지노S HOW THIS DOJ INVESTIGATION STARTED IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND IT맥스카지노S HOW CHANGE HAPPENS AT AL

'Not surprising': Community reacts to DOJ retreat from Louisville consent decree

ACLU announces Seven States Safety Campaign as the DOJ abandons consent decrees in Louisville & Minneapolis.

The Department of Justice has decided to abandon its consent decree with Louisville, raising questions about the future of police reform in the city. While Mayor Craig Greenberg has assured the public that the city remains committed to reform, some community leaders are expressing doubt.Lyndon Pryor, president and CEO of the Louisville Urban League, said the DOJ's decision was "disappointing, but unfortunately not surprising, which I guess is also disappointing that this was anticipated."Pryor emphasized that the Urban League had urged the city to develop its own plan for police reform, knowing the DOJ might retreat."Because we knew this was a likely outcome, we've been pushing the mayor and Metro Council to go ahead and proceed alone," he said.Greenberg announced a voluntary reform plan for the city, but both Pryor and Corey Shapiro, Legal Director of the ACLU of Kentucky, stressed the importance of community involvement."That's important because that is what the original consent decree really structured. It set out for us to do맥스카지노for the community to play a role in that," Pryor said.Shapiro highlighted the disproportionate impact of police tactics on communities of color in Louisville."These police tactics were not only excessive force and improper stopping but also disproportionately impacting communities of color in Louisville. It's really important that we include those communities," he said.Transparency remains a significant concern for Shapiro, who noted that the ACLU is launching a coordinated open records request to uncover ongoing police misconduct."The problem through our time here in Louisville has been a lack of accountability and a lack of transparency," he said.The ACLU's efforts are part of a broader campaign across seven states, focusing on areas where the DOJ, under former President Biden, identified patterns of unconstitutional and racially discriminatory policing. However, Shapiro acknowledged the limitations of the ACLU, which lacks the legal authority of the DOJ.Pryor argued that Louisville's police reform efforts need to be codified into law to ensure accountability."There are no real teeth. We are essentially asking for the mayor and LMPD to just do this on the honor system. But if we codify it into law, it ensures that it has to happen," he said.Both leaders urged grassroots action, encouraging residents to speak with elected officials.
