Justice Department: Baltimore Police violated civil rights

[b]-One African-American man in his 50s was stopped 30 times in less than four years; none of the stops resulted in a citation or criminal charge[/b] Can we put this argument to bed now? As it turns out, systemic racism in policing was and still is a thing. [i][b]***edit:[/b]since none of you could be bothered to read the actual article or the report and keep focusing on the 1 excerpt out of the report I provided as if that and only that was the basis of the report here are more excerpts: [/i] [b]- Officers "publicly strip-searched a woman following a routine traffic stop for a missing headlight." They even searched the woman's anal cavity. They found nothing.[/b] [b]- A black officer with a reputation for speaking out over misconduct was harassed by a supervisor, who placed signs warning him to “stay in your lane” and “mind your own business” on his desk. [/b] [b]- An officer decided not to report a colleague for planting drugs because he feared retaliation.[/b] [b]- The Justice Department found that officers had been accused more than 60 times of using the word “n****r,” but the Baltimore Police Department didn’t classify the language as a racial slur.[/b] **The full report is available for download here: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/08/09/us/document-Baltimore-P-D-Findings-Report-FINAL.html

    If I'm not mistaken, they came up with similar conclusions when they looked into the Ferguson police department. But of course, a denier will probably do some ridiculous mental acrobatics to come up with an excuse.

    • So the first link to cnn is essentially useless because they just reported on it and never linked the research, so it's just words. I am unable to see the second document as I'm out of available space, so for the time being I'm going to remain skeptical, although you do raise an interesting case. That being said, I don't think associating with BLM is a very good idea, as many members are blatant racists, wanting segregation and call for killing cops. ALM is probably a more effective movement to associate with, as it is the group that is the most humanitarian. If you can provide a link that isn't download that would be appreciated, and thank you for reading this far I know this is a long post.

        As an African American reading these responses to post like this It's clear that most of you white people responding I this post are no where near around all this that's going on, you have no true knowledge upon these situations other than bullshit #offtopic posts and word of mouth,only to try and make up some excuse or racist comment like"he probably has a record" or some other generic excuse. Right now it's open season on us African Americans wether you wanna believe it or not... And no none of this shit is right wether a cop or I get killed. And don't tell me about that while"whites got killed more than blacks" crap cause if you actually do your research you'll see that it not came from one bullshit source. It's false. Stop denying that our brothers fathers uncles nephews and sons are being slain right now instead of being held a fair judicial trail for their actions. Understand this shit before you speak on it[spoiler]but then again all I see is people on here posting about some retarded helicopter being notified and a gender so I don't expect y'all to actually have a deep intellitctaul, non biased response about all this.[/spoiler]

          • So uh, a guy gets stopped a lot but doesn't get arrested for doing anything wrong because he wasn't doing anything wrong? It sounds like the system is working fine then.

            • So I read this thing Are you serious? This entire PDF was all about stop and searches and how the officers didn't have enough evidence to conduct one but the DoJ also says that they didn't have sufficient evidence to even claim that in the vast majority of cases so they went to isolated cases instead. They are literally using anecdotes and their lack of comprehensive data to come up with a conclusion. This is scientifically backwards.

                      • Systemic racism isn't a thing. Some people are bad people. The amount of police who are that are police is minuscule and the bad ones often slip through the cracks because they hide behind a false visage.

As it turns out, systemic racism in policing was and still is a thing.[/quote] And in other news ... water is wet. edit - I'm not trying to trivialize this or anything, but anyone with any shred of intelligence or awareness of the way America works already knows that police departments are racist institutions. Not all cops are racist, but the way they enforce laws are racist and biased against poor minorites.

                          Sure. There is racism. But.... Police interact with some real shitty people every day. When a lot of shitty people happen to look similar, it colors peoples thoughts. I'm more worried about the incredible amount of violent crime generated by the black community. Racism sucks, but it's largely invisible and hard to prove. There are tangible problems we'd be better off addressing.
