full title.............Baltimore cops 'are racist, violent and lawless': Report claims city's police discriminate against blacks and aren't held accountable when they use excessive force ..................Baltimore police officers routinely discriminate against blacks, repeatedly use excessive force and are not adequately held accountable for misconduct, according to a damning Justice Department report.

The report said officers make large numbers of stops — mostly in poor, black neighborhoods — with dubious justification and unlawfully arrest citizens for speech deemed disrespectful.

During a ride-along with Justice Department officials, a sergeant instructed a patrol officer to stop a group of young African-American males on a street corner, question them and order them to disperse.

'When the patrol officer protested that he had no valid reason to stop the group, the sergeant replied, "Then make something up." This incident is far from anomalous,' the report said.

In 1996 the Klitons ran “Black churches are burning” radio ads.

We’ll be hearing them soon.

The city administration and the upper ranks of the PD are almost entirely black, and I suspect black cops make up a large fraction of the Baltimore PD.

Cops will reflect the character of the community they are tasked with policing. You reap what you sow.

Cops act like cops. In other news: scientists confirm rain is wet!

43% of Baltimore police are black. Funny how that fact doesn't make the article.

(Counterpoint, 63% of Baltimore is black.)

My sons,white,were raised in a white suburb.
.
If a gang of teens gathered in one place the cops often told them to move along.

It was no big deal——and it was 35 years ago...
