OK, Here we go. From the top down, the mayor has ruined Baltimore's Police and is asking the Feds to investigate(??) IMO she is incompetent, not very bright, an activist, and thus dangerous to be sitting in the position of Mayor of Baltimore.


Baltimore mayor calls for federal investigation into police

BALTIMORE (AP) — The mayor called on federal investigators Wednesday to look into whether this city's beleaguered police department uses a pattern of excessive force or discriminatory policing.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said even though complaints of excessive force and lawsuits alleging misconduct are down over the last few years, "we all know that Baltimore continues to have a fractured relationship between the police and the community."

The mayor's request came a day after new Attorney General Loretta Lynch visited the city and pledged to improve the police department, telling faith and community leaders "we're here to hold your hands and provide support."

Justice Department spokeswoman Dena Iverson said in a statement that Lynch had received the mayor's request and "is actively considering that option in light of what she heard from law enforcement, city officials, and community, faith and youth leaders."

Baltimore saw days of unrest after Freddie Gray, a black man, was taken into custody and suffered critical injuries. He died a week later. Protesters threw bottles and bricks at police during a riot on April 27, injuring nearly 100 officers. More than 200 people were arrested as cars and businesses burned.

A Baltimore Police Department spokesman had no immediate response to the mayor's request. An email and text message was not immediately returned.

The mayor also said officers would have body cameras by the end of the year.

The Justice Department is already investigating whether Gray's civil rights were violated, and six officers face charges in the arrest and death, ranging from assault to second-degree murder.

The new investigation the mayor called for is similar to one was done in Ferguson, Missouri, following the shooting of an unarmed, black 18-year-old man by a white police officer.

Such wide-ranging investigations look for patterns of discrimination within a police department. They can examine how officers use force and search and arrest suspects.

Baltimore City Council President Jack Young has been calling for such an investigation since October, his spokesman Lester Davis said.

"The only way we're going to get the kind of lasting and meaningful reforms that are going to produce results is through a full-scale civil-rights investigation," Davis said.

At the time the Ferguson inquiry was announced in September, it was described as part of a broader Justice Department effort to investigate troubled police departments and, when pervasive problems are found, direct changes to be made. The department said then it has investigated 20 police departments for a variety of systemic misconduct in the past five years, more than twice the number of cases opened in the previous five years.

The investigations can sometimes result in a settlement known as a consent decree, in which the department agrees to make specific changes, and an outside monitor is appointed to make sure the police force complies with the agreement.

The Justice Department reached a court-supervised agreement in 2012 with the New Orleans Police Department that required the agency to overhaul its policies and procedures for use of force, training, interrogations, searches and arrests, recruitment and supervision. In April, it issued a harshly critical report of the police department in Albuquerque, New Mexico, that faulted the agency for a pattern of excessive force and called for an overhaul of its internal affairs unit.

When are they going to investigate why there are so many ignorant, criminal negroes?

Black leaders are race baiting ... they want a race war, apparently.
If you watch the video in the link above, you will see the mayor saying that "this is happening 'all over the country'" ... what a crock! She is so full of it.

It is happening all over. The race war is what the government wants so that we can take each other out when we need to be standing together as Americans black or white and fight the real enemies. The government and the radicals who want to kill us. But a race war will have us disrtacted and fighting each other until there are too few of us left to light off the real enemy and we will be defeated.

whether Gray's civil rights were violated

officers are not responsible for legal civil rights

legal civil rights begin in the courtroom - which is why grey should have been armed and running from police

She's a black mayor in a city that's been black-run since the 20s in a state that's one of the most liberal in the country with a police department which is predominantly minority involving an incident where 3 of the 4 cops facing the most serious charges are black. lulz

"The only way we're going to get the kind of lasting and meaningful reforms that are going to produce results is through a full-scale civil-rights investigation," Davis said.


Or how about telling nigs to stop behaving like they do. Then they'll never have any interactions with the police other than a friendly wave down the street.

Dude, that's way too hard of a problem to deal with. Much easier to blame the cops and throw some more crumbs and promises to the negroes so they'll keep voting for you. Which is a big part of the reason that negroes have ended up where they are and will stay there.

They should also investigate this:

Of the 364,200 total jobs in Baltimore City in March, 75,500—or 20.7 percent—were jobs working for the government. That included 39,400 state government jobs, 26,000 local government jobs, and 10,100 federal government jobs.

In other words, Baltimore government overall is filled with lazy niggers.
