Phoenix police violate people's rights, discriminate against Black, Hispanic and Native American people when enforcing the law and use excessive force, including unjustified deadly force, the U.S. Justice Department said Thursday.
Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division said the findings 'provide a blueprint and a roadmap that can help transform the police department, restore community trust and strengthen public safety efforts in one of America's largest cities.'The investigation launched in August 2021.
