Yep, hope your ox won't get gored someday. If you are just minding your own business and find yourself getting your ass kicked by the police, sorry to hear it, according to the government, you deserved it.
The first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers has been shut down by President Donald Trump, the Justice Department confirmed, deleting a resource experts said improved public safety by helping prevent bad cops from jumping to new agencies and starting over with clean records.
The database was first proposed by Trump in 2020 in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd. But it wasnāt created until two years later when a Joe Biden executive order launched the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database. Trump issued an order last month revoking Bidenās orders, and the database.
The national database encompassed nearly 150,000 federal officers and agents, from the FBI and IRS down to the Railroad Retirement Board. And though it only launched in December 2023, by the end of last year all 90 executive branch agencies with law enforcement officers had provided thousands of disciplinary records dating back to 2017, a reportissued by the Justice Department in December said.
Trumpās revocation of Bidenās executive orders was part of the presidentās effort to reduce the size and cost of the federal government. The policing order revoked by Trump laid out steps to improve use-of-force standards and research, ensured appropriate use of body-worn cameras and required anti-bias training, in addition to creating a misconduct database.
