The National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD), which stored police records documenting misconduct, is now unavailable, the Washington Post first reported.
The US justice department also confirmed the database’s elimination in a statement issued online.
“User agencies can no longer query or add data to the NLEAD,” the statement read. “The US Department of Justice is decommissioning the NLEAD in accordance with federal standards.”
“Look, there’s no police misconduct! Any complaints are from woke radicals!”
A budding authoritarian regime needs to necessarily cozy up with those in positions of authority.
