The state of LMPD
Just last week, heavily criticizing the department for many things, including racism and the execution of the type of search warrant that led officers to Taylor's door that night.
This report was ordered a year after Taylor's death, so it took nearly two to complete.
It also detailed repeated violations similar to the ones from Taylor's case. It also offered 36 recommendations to correct the problems, like new policies and training for the use of force, search warrants and stops and arrests, better enforcement of body-worn camera activation and more reviews and accountability.
On the day of the announcement, Mayor Craig Greenberg pledged reforms in addition to ones already in the works since Taylor's death.
When all is said and done, making the changes outlined by the DOJ could cost the city more than $100 million.
The officers involved
Initially, after the shooting, only one officer, Brett Hankison, was charged, and it was not in relation to her death. He was acquitted of those last year.
Then, last August, he was federally charged along with three other officers: Joshua Jaynes, Kelly Goodlett and Kyle Meany. Hankison's charges stemmed from the unconstitutionally excessive force when he fired upon Taylor맥스카지노s apartment.
The others for civil rights, unlawful conspiracies, unconstitutional use of force and obstruction. The DOJ said those violations resulted in Taylor's death.
None of those officers work for LMPD anymore.
