Black Lives Matter Has Shifted National Debate, Despite Controversial Reputation - NBC News: "The Justice Department recently announced that it would, for the first time ever, require more than 28,000 of its employees, including most investigative agents and prosecutors, to get implicit bias training.
DOJ is increasingly inserting itself into controversial local matters that involve race and policing. As MSNBC's Ari Melber highlighted last week, the department waited 139 days before it decided to launch a civil rights investigation into the death of Eric Garner, the 43-year-old man who died in July 2014 in New York City after officers put him in a chokehold while arresting him. Last week, within a day of the death of Alton Sterling in Louisiana, DOJ said it would start investigating."
