The Justice Department says Phoenix police discriminate against Black, Hispanic and Native American people, unlawfully detain homeless people and use excessive force, including unjustified deadly force. The sweeping government investigation released Thursday uncovers a host of civil rights violations by police in the nation’s fifth-largest city. Investigators say they found stark racial disparities in how police enforce certain laws, including low-level drug and traffic offenses. And the Justice Department says Phoenix police have violated the rights of people engaged in protected speech. The police department has yet to respond to the report. Attorney General Merrick Garland says the government is committed to working with the city and police on reform.
