Well, howdy there internet people, let's vote again.

So today we are going to talk about Louisville and that agreement that everybody's talking about,

what it means, where it came from, what they found during this process how things could

play out from here and what cities next because that's also going to be part of this.

So if you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about,

Louisville has agreed in principle to some

corrections to their law enforcement there based on let's just call them very strong

recommendations from the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division.

The DOJ's civil rights people, they conducted an investigation, a massive review, and they found

that basically there was a culture within the department that violated rights, lots of them in a lot of different

ways.

Everything from a pattern of invalid warrants leading to unjust searches to excessive force, discriminatory

behavior towards black Americans, towards disabled people. towards Department that could be described as lawlessness.

The Department of Justice created some recommendations, a little less than 40 of them, to include

basically constant reviews of reports of body camera footage, of everything a lot more oversight.

Now, this set of recommendations, it has been agreed to by the city. I mean it's one of those things

well you're gonna agree to it or we're gonna take over your department is kind of how this

normally plays out. Once the agreement is made there is a wide range of things that

can occur. First, the way it should work. The way people hope

this type of thing works is that a whole bunch of reforms get made.

People are retrained, people are terminated if they cannot or will not be retrained.

All of the recommendations go into place.
