🚨 DOJ Hosts In-Person Meetings on MPD Reforms 🚨 The U.S. Department of Justice will hold its first in-person meeting next Wednesday, Dec. 18, at the National Civil Rights Museum. This follows a virtual town hall addressing their investigation into MPD’s use of excessive force, discriminatory practices, and wrongful stops and arrests of African Americans. Key takeaways: • Reform Costs: Memphis will bear the cost, but reforms could save lives, rebuild trust, and reduce costly lawsuits. • DOJ Commitment: Career attorneys ensure consistency regardless of political changes. • Community Involvement: Your voice matters—feedback will shape MPD reforms. Mayor Paul Young has declined a consent decree but says the city will pursue its own path to reform. Stay tuned for more meetings and updates. #Memphis #MPDReform #DOJ #CivilRights 📸: tsdmemphis
