Attorney General Merrick Garland’s announcement Wednesday morning that the Justice Department is starting an investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department for unlawful policing practices is one step toward systemwide reform. This is a welcome change from the Trump administration’s refusal to use this federal power. The reality is that it is very difficult for cities to reform their own police departments. Their instinctive reaction is defensive, even in response to egregious police misconduct, like Derek Chauvin’s killing of George Floyd. The first statement put out by Minneapolis police the day after Floyd’s death was not about the need to investigate. Instead, it said, “Man dies after medical incident during police interaction,” suggesting nothing happened between Floyd’s arrest and his transport to the hospital.
