The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division is opening an investigation into the Louisiana State Police for alleged racially discriminatory practices, Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said Thursday. The Louisiana state legislature continues to investigate the 2019 death of Ronald Greene in police custody. Clarke mentioned Greene’s death during her press conference, noting that his death was one of several instances in which state police were accused of using excessive force. The investigation into the Louisiana State Police is the fifth “pattern or practice” investigation of Joe Biden’s presidency, compared to 23 during the Obama administration and one during the Trump administration, according to the American Bar Association.
