Baltimore Students Offer Solutions to Stop Police Brutality
A 5th grade class in Baltimore has completed an comprehensive research project on the unconstitutional and racist tactics used by Baltimore's police department and have turned their work into solutions they hope will improve how law enforcement interacts with the community
According to the US Department of Justice Investigation, about 150,000 police stops were in two small African American districts. This is 44% of all stops in Baltimore. This makes me feel disgusted that people are being treated differently because of their skin color.

Police Reform: How to Make 150K and Rob the People who Pay You
In another installment of TRNN's in-depth reporting on the complexity
of reforming urban policing, we examine how monetizing failure creates opportunities for law enforcement to extract wealth from communities that can least afford it
105,000 Baltimore city residents processed, so in a city of 630,00 people, having over a hundred thousand people arrested is absolutely egregious. And what did it lead to? Well, it actually led to a lawsuit by the ACLU, saying that these arrests were unconstitutional. And later, the Department of Justice showed the same thing, which is that our Baltimore City Police Department has a practice of unconstitutional and racist policing tactics.
