African-American residents in Baltimore are routinely subjected to unconstitutional stops, arrests and excessive force by the Baltimore Police Department, a scathing federal report released on Tuesday said.
The 163-page U.S. Justice Department report details an investigation launched after the death of black detainee Freddie Gray last year that found the Baltimore Police Department engages in a pattern of conduct that violates the constitution or federal law.
"This pattern or practice is driven by systemic deficiencies in BPD's policies, training, supervision and accountability structures that fail to equip officers with the tools they need to police effectively and within the bounds of the federal law," the report said.
hopefully this shuts people up when they ask why people in communities policed like Baltimore respond the way they do to law enforcement. there are only 2 ways to respond to a bully, fight back or run away. unfortunately both avenues can get you killed when the bully is law enforcement.

i was listening to NPR today while the talked about this investigation. there was one guy that was detained 30 times in 4 years without one single convictionThey did the same thing in Ferguson, my g. There was rampant nonsense going on in that department.
All people rested on was the court didn't pursue prosecution of Wilson.
People don't remember the details.. Only the results.
