DOJ has concluded probe into Baltimore PD, has found “pattern &practice” of discrimination

And despite recent reforms, Baltimore PD use of force policy still fails to limit deadly force to being a last resort for officers.

— Samuel Sinyangwe (@samswey) August 10, 2016

DOJ report makes clear "broken windows" policing not only doesn't work, but also results in unconstitutional harassment and criminalization.

— Samuel Sinyangwe (@samswey) August 10, 2016

Then there's the use of excessive force against black residents. Absolutely no accountability within Baltimore PD. pic.twitter.com/nvieK8eb6c
