--DOJ“APD engages in a pattern or practice of unconstitutional use of violence and use of deadly force… and the use of less than lethal force…” and “system deficiencies that cause or contribute to the use of excessive force”, such as substandard training of officers, inadequate community policing, institutional failures in the investigation of shootings and accountability system, an aggressive culture among officers, a disconnect between officers and the community over this aggressive behavior, lack of use of the crisis intervention team and weak civilian oversight.

Since 2010, APD has shot 40 civilians many of them unarmed.
Judge for yourself. How much of a threat is the mentally ill James Boyd in the photo above? Photo taken moments before APD blew him away.

They've only shot two more people since then...
And people are protesting?
