Description
A United States judge has approved an agreement between the city of Baltimore and the Department of Justice. The plan would overhaul the Maryland city's beleaguered police department. The judge said the consent decree was "comprehensive, detailed, and precise," and in the public interest. Earlier this week, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered a review of similar decrees with police departments around the country. That decision alarmed civil rights advocates, who are now worried that Sessions and President Donald Trump may pull back efforts to curb police abuse.http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/Reuters/d...http://www.wochit.comThis video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
