Strong state confidentiality laws mean that the public cannot access these records.
In particular, the public rarely learns details about the involved officers’ personnel, disciplinary, or misconduct histories. While media attention on police killings increased after Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson killed Michael Brown in 2014, one piece of the story is often missing: the story of the officers. The national outcry and months of Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality that followed the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor are a resounding demonstration of the public’s interest in combatting police violence, particularly excess force used on Black Americans.
