The Trump administration now might reverse Obama-era police reforms

A new memo by the Trump administration makes it official: The US Department of Justice is putting police reform on hold.

The March 31 memo, published by the Washington Post, instructs Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s top two deputies to “immediately review” reform agreements — known as “consent decrees” — reached with police departments across the country after Justice Department investigations found that these departments routinely violated their residents’ civil rights. The memo argues that the review is necessary to, among other things, ensure public safety comes first and to “help promote officer safety, officer morale, and public respect for their work.”

In short, Justice Department deals that enforced reforms — from revised use of force policies to greater emphasis on “community policing” — at police agencies are under review to ensure Sessions and President Donald Trump’s own agenda on policing issues is represented in them.

Those reforms only increased crime in poor areas, police were told to be re active and only respond to crime, not to be pro active.

In short cops were told to stay in their cars and respond to crimes committed, not to go looking for drug dealers or street gangs.

Murders and shooting shot up because the baddies were no longer searched for guns or drugs.
Can't remember which city it was, but in one area nearly all stop searches were on blacks, racial targeting allegedly, but only 2 percent of the population were white.
Cops stopped doing street searches as there was a racial quota imposed, gang bangers could carry guns, safe in the knowledge they wouldn't get stopped.
