Justice Dept. to review San Francisco police after shooting death
Source: Reuters
The U.S. Department of Justice said on Sunday it was set to announce a "comprehensive review" of the San Francisco Police Department, which was the target of protests after a black man was shot and killed by police in December.
Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California Brian Stretch and Ronald Davis, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services Director, would hold a news conference in San Francisco on Monday at 2 p.m. PST (1700 GMT Sunday), it said in a statement.
The statement gave no details about the nature or reason for the investigation. Protests broke out in the city in December over the police killing of a black man earlier that month, with demands that the city's police chief be fired.
San Francisco's Mayor Edwin Lee and police chief Greg Suhr were also slated to attend the news conference, the Justice Department statement said.
