The U.S. Department of Justice launched a 'pattern or practice' investigation of the Louisville Metro Police Department in April 2021.
Tamika Palmer, whose daughter, Breonna Taylor, was shot and killed by Louisville Metro Police detectives in a case that directly led to a U.S. Department of Justice investigation, said federal investigators' findings announced Wednesday amounted to "heartbreak all over again."
The Louisville Metro Police Department agreed to enter into a consent decree following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
