The video addresses police misconduct and the lack of accountability highlighted in a DOJ report through an interview with Jared Keenan from ACLU Arizona.
Jared Keenan discusses the need to drop charges against victims and highlights how they are often charged to distract from police misconduct.
That’s Jared Keenan with ACLU Arizona. He says the county attorney’s office needs to drop the charges. They charge the actual victim in these cases, the person who the police assault with serious crimes as a way to first draw attention away from the misconduct of the police and then to insulate them from any true accountability.
Jared Keenan criticizes the lack of seriousness with which the Phoenix Police Department and city officials are taking the DOJ report findings.
Hey, get up! I think this shows that not only are the findings in the DOJ report not being taken seriously by officers individually, I think they’re not being taken seriously at the top levels of the Phoenix Police Department, and they’re certainly not being taken seriously by the mayor and the city council. He’s just, he’s in cuffs.
