If you enjoyed the Ferguson DOJ report, you'll love the Baltimore DOJ report. It reads like it was written by Marxist grad students, it spreads conspiracy theories about lead poisoning and is filled with ridiculous absurdities.
Like its complaint that officers actually chase criminals on foot.
"BPD officers frequently engage in foot pursuits of individuals, even where the fleeing individuals are not suspected of violent crimes."
The DOJ would prefer that if someone steals your wallet, the Baltimore cops should let him go.
Also, outrageously, the police responded to crime by busting criminals.
"These tensions hardened during the 1990s and 2000s as the City responded to increasing violent crime rates by emphasizing an aggressive, “zero tolerance” policing strategy that prioritized making large numbers of stops, searches, and arrests"
You can practically see the disgusted looks on the pro-crime advocates who now populate the DOJ.
"Our investigation recognizes that, as Commissioner Davis aptly noted, Baltimore officers “have the burden to address racism and poverty and education and homelessness.”
Wasn't it quite a nostalgic time when the police arrested criminals instead of addressing racism and homelessness and global warming.
BPD’s law enforcement practices at times exacerbate the longstanding structural inequalities in the City by encouraging officers to have unnecessary, adversarial interactions with community members that increase exposure to the criminal justice system"
Thank you Marxist grad students currently running our Justice Department. Let's free more of these justice involved persons so they can kill, rob and rape their way to fighting structural inequalities.
"BPD’s use of force against individuals with mental health disabilities or experiencing crisis violates the Americans with Disabilities Act"
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. When the police tackle a psycho about to stab you, they're violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.
This was America. This is America under the insane vicious ideological tyranny of the left which finds every excuse for criminals while punishing their victims.
