DOJ Says Democrats Running Baltimore Sure Are Racist

Baltimore is a city that has been run by Democrats for decades. Democrat policies are reflected in the Police Department according to the scathing reports by the DOJ following the death of Freddie Gray and the subsequent kangaroo trials of several police involved in the arrest and transport of Freddie. Basically the DOJ is asking the police to stop arresting black people in the poorest sections of the city.

From CNN here:

A Justice Department investigation found that the Baltimore Police Department engages in unconstitutional practices that lead to disproportionate rates of stops, searches and arrests of African-Americans, and excessive use of force against juveniles and people with mental health disabilities.

The Department of Justice monitored the department’s policing methods for more than a year at the request of the Baltimore Police Department, after the 2015 death of Freddie Gray, who suffered a fatal injury while in police custody.
The long-awaited report, which covered data from 2010 to 2016, attributed the practices to “systemic deficiencies” in training, policies, and accountability structures that “fail to equip officers with the tools they need to police effectively.”

The report blamed “zero tolerance” enforcement practices that emphasized stops, searches and arrests for repeated violations of constitutional rights that eroded the community’s trust.
Encouraged by BPD supervisors, “zero tolerance” policing continues in certain neighborhoods, leading to unconstitutional stops, searches and arrests, with little to no suspicion, the report said.

Democrats are all about zero tolerance. Those zero tolerance policies came from the Democrat controlled government, not the Police department. So now watch the cops go from zero tolerance to 100% tolerance. Baltimore remains a horrible place to visit and live. See my previous here.
