A nearly three-year federal civil rights investigation said it found widespread issues within the Phoenix police force.
In this June 3, 2020, file photo, protesters rally in Phoenix, demanding the Phoenix City Council defund the Phoenix Police Department. The Phoenix Police Department routinely uses excessive force and discriminates against Black, Hispanic and Native American people, part of a broader pattern of unconstitutional policing in one of America’s largest cities, according to a Justice Department report released Thursday.
In a 126-page report, the Justice Department said a federal civil rights investigation found that police in Phoenix use unnecessarily dangerous force, making situations more volatile; fail to provide proper oversight when force is used; and enforce the law based on race. Investigators also found that the department violates the rights of people who are homeless, improperly arresting them and destroying their property., raising the possibility that they could refuse to accept its findings.
Investigations into the police departments in Minneapolis and Louisville concluded last year. In both cases, the Justice Department determined that the departments used. Those findings were announced at news conferences with Attorney General Merrick Garland joined by local leaders and officials accepted the reports and vowed to negotiate plans for federal supervision.
