Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Tuesday that his Justice Department will "pull back" from suing police departments for violating minorities' civil rights, according to an NBC report.

"We need, so far as we can, to help police departments get better, not diminish their effectiveness. And I'm afraid we've done some of that," Sessions said during a meeting with attorneys general from across the country.

"So we're going to try to pull back on this," he continued.

Sessions said the decision is not "wrong or insensitive to civil rights or human rights." Instead, he said, the federal government must help police combat violent crime in poor and minority communities.

I think we are really going to regret Sessions as AG

I'm not for going after police departments for nothing okay. But when police are holding people without phone calls, and holding them in jail without charges I got to say something. There are a bunch of dirty departments that need reform. I'm not talking about Eric Holder's BS either.
