Abandoning police reform settlements five years after Floyd's murder sends a message that the government is willing to look away from harm being inflicted on communities, even when that harm is plain as day. The Justice Department's retreat from oversight agreements in Minneapolis and Louisville, along with terminating investigations into police departments nationwide, represents a betrayal of promises made to Black people and Americans as a whole after Floyd's death sparked global protests. This regression undermines accountability and allows officers to shirk responsibility for their actions while taxpayers continue footing the bill for civil judgments instead of the officers themselves.
