The Department of Justice has now launched an investigation into allegations that troopers with the Connecticut State Police may have falsified traffic records to skew racial profiling data.

the only comment on that article, sounds like usual lib monkeyshines are in play:

Outrage regarding the report then prompted intervention from state leaders, and chief state’s attorney Patrick Griffin launched an investigation at the behest of Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont. Last week, the DOJ announced that it had asked Griffin to suspend his office's investigation and to give way to an independent federal investigation. Griffin agreed, noting that the DOJ has better "tools and resources" for such investigations.

"If people need to be held accountable, either in federal court or in state court, we’ll do that," Griffin said.

So far, the four troopers whose alleged actions motivated the initial audit have already been held to some account. Two of them received brief suspensions. Two others retired before the conclusion of the internal affairs inquiry. The state has also opened a criminal investigation into the four men.
