The Justice Department formally released a damning report on Wednesday detailing the routine abuse inflicted on Baltimore residents by the city’s police department.
Baltimore police regularly performed unconstitutional stops, frisks and arrests ―
which disproportionately targeted black residents ― and held an
“us-versus-them” mentality, the report says. The Justice Department also
found that officers retaliated against citizens, took a lax
approach to sexual assault cases, employed excessive force too freely
and used slurs against LGBT people.
