Immediately after the verdict in the Derek Chauvin case the Justice Department announced an investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department looking for a pattern of racial bias or excessive force.
Now today the Justice Department announced a similar investigation into the Louisville, KY police department over the death of Breona Taylor.
One wonders if the Justice Department is going to investigate any police department where an event hits the national news or prompts protests. There are plenty of other cases of questionable police behavior which have not hit the national news, have not prompted protests, and apparently for this reason will not prompt a Federal investigation.
