Robert Reich: The Untimely Death Of Civil Rights In America – OpEd

The Justice Department announced it would finally conduct a civil rights investigation into the death of Alex Pretti, the VA nurse who was gunned down in Minneapolis last Saturday by federal agents. 

It was a sharp reversal from the Department’s previous decision, to leave it up to the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a narrow inquiry into whether proper procedures were followed.

I hope you’ll forgive me if I express some skepticism about the Justice Department’s apparent turnabout.
