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

    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]
