Baltimore

The Baltimore Police Department is under investigation for treating minorities differently than others. It is interesting in that this particular department has more minorities at every level from the beat cop up through middle management and at the highest levels. So is this unfair treatment of minorities a racial thing or is some other factor involved. In response to the latter, consider the statistics that show a disproportionate number of minorities are arrested and charged with various crimes. Just how can this happen? Take any big city and you will find that most of the crime occurs in minority neighborhoods and thus police patrol those areas more often and in greater numbers. The expected result is that more stops and arrest are made in those areas.
