In a small city in Mississippi, according to the Justice Department's findings, law enforcement exhibits bias against the local Black community.
The Lexington Law Enforcement has been accused by the Justice Department of consistently breaking constitutional rules, as per their investigation triggered by allegations of officers employing excessive force and making unjustified arrests.
In an email statement, Attorney General Merrick Garland stated, "Today's revelations demonstrate that the Lexington Law Enforcement has ditched its esteemed duty of trust within the community by frequently disregarding the constitutional rights of those it vowed to safeguard."
This situation is still unfolding and will be updated.
The investigation by the Justice Department revealed that the excessive force and unjustified arrests by Lexington Law Enforcement were mainly targeted against its own community, causing a strain in the relationship between the force and "us."
In light of the misconduct, there are calls for a significant overhaul of the Lexington Law Enforcement's policies, ensuring they respect the rights of "us" and promote harmony within the community.
