Sessions orders Justice Department to review all police reform agreements

Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered Justice Department officials to review reform agreements with troubled police forces nationwide, saying it was necessary to ensure that these pacts do not work against the Trump administration’s goals of promoting officer safety and morale while fighting violent crime.

In a two-page memo released Monday, Sessions said agreements reached previously between the department’s civil rights division and local police departments — a key legacy of the Obama administration — will be subject to review by his two top deputies, throwing into question whether all of the agreements will stay in place.

The memo was released not long before the department’s civil rights lawyers asked a federal judge to postpone until at least the end of June a hearing on a sweeping police reform agreement, known as a consent decree, with the Baltimore Police Department that was announced just days before President Trump took office.

I'm surprised that he hasn't tried to reinstate literacy tests.

Edit: These agreements are the product of years of investigations and evidence collection of police abuses. The fact that Sessions is even considering reworking just makes my blood boil and is pure evil. He's willing to subject communities (mostly communities of color) to unchecked abuse just for the hell of it.

2. "officer safety and moral" isn't the problem

Do we really need to give jittery manchildren with hair-triggers blowjobs so they feel safe and secure so that they'll do their duty to protect and serve? Yet another example of republicans' upside down view of democracy. You work for the people, they don't work for you.
