Trump deletes nationwide database on
police misconduct which was created after George Floyd’s death
The DOJ confirmed that the Trump
administration shut down a nationwide database
tracking officers who abused their power.
The database, created after George Floyd’s 2020
death, aimed to prevent corrupt
officers from transferring to new departments.
Floyd died after officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for over nine minutes,
sparking global protests against police brutality.
Chauvin was later convicted and sentenced to 22 years.
Trump initially proposed the database,
and Biden implemented it via executive order in 2022.
However, Trump revoked it upon returning to office,
dismantling the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database.
