Baltimore’s top law enforcement and political leaders on Wednesday vowed a sweeping overhaul of the city Police Department after a searing rebuke of the agency’s practices, which the Justice Department said regularly discriminated against black residents in poor communities.

They need space to commit crimes. Read the article. That is EXACTLY what the critics of the Baltimore police are saying.
And the precedent has been set for a takeover of state police forces by a national militia.
Justice Department moving in to bayonet the wounded. Manned by out of control leftists and progressive attorneys. For democrats, that’s business as usual.
I can’t see how this won’t cause the police to back off.
the presumption is that there will be people willing to serve as police that will in reality be black ass kissers
Commissioner Burrell will be for real
How many decades has Baltimore and its police department been in the grip of Democrats? And just look at the problems that have been created by Baltimore's political leadership during this time.
Perhaps it is time to vote in a different party.
The creator of that mural is an excellent artist. He or she should be doing art as a job.
I feel certain the artist was a professional paid to do the mural and given the data to put on it
So the feds are going to assist in making Baltimore Mogadishu.
The Baltimore DA and the head of the Just Us Clown Show are low grade quota morons.
Boy, those law schools have really high standards, don’t they?
Graffiti sanctifying a dead thug? Black urban culture is terminally corrupt.
Yeah ... he's a real Leni Riefenstahl ...
This is an indictment of Democrats running any Government department.
Right on!!! Baltimore is going to see a crime wave unlike any seen in this country before. UNORGANIZED CRIME will flourish as the police react like any sane person.
When a cop knows that he will be “hung out to dry” if he does his SWORN DUTY, his (their) eyesight can suddenly weaken.
When the police can say, “I saw NOTHING!!!”, Baltimore will have gotten just what it is asking for. So will other cities. Chicago, anyone?
Black urban culture is terminally corrupt.
yes, exactly so; and it didn’t have to be like this, it could have chosen to be civiized, but the call of the wild was just too alluring...
The Big Foot of the Tyrant comes down again.
Nothing says “Welcome To The Ghetto” like garish murals all over the buildings.
