Authoritarian / Unconstitutional: General
The Civil Rights Division “persecuted” police departments throughout its long history, precisely *because* they were violating civil rights laws.
If you follow me, you've heard me talk about my current project on the early years of the Civil Rights Division, when it took an aggressive approach to racist law enforcement in the South, even prosecuting the sheriff and deputy sheriff in Neshoba County over the "Mississippi Burning" murders.
And that was before civil rights laws -- the thing Dhillon claims she wants her people enforcing? -- made a regular habit of including police oversight in their purview, from Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to Section 14141 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994.
It's deeply dishonest to pretend that CRD oversight of local law enforcement is somehow a brand-new development that was pushed by "woke" activists when, in fact, it's been around longer than Dhillon or I have been alive.
A good lawyer would know all that. A bad one wouldn't.
Here's a fresh example.
Local police departments get federal funding and "surplus" equipment like this, so under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, they can be investigated and prosecuted by CRD for a range of discriminatory actions.
