you do and damned if you don t. three of the officers are black. does that mean there s no racism? i mean can there be institutional racism executed by an african-american cop against another african-american? no, i don t believe that. you know we have to come to some sort of definition as to what we re talking about when we say racism. there s no institutional racism in the baltimore police department. i think we would have found out long before freddie gray so the fact that they have a good amount of black law enforcement officer doesn t mean racism doesn t exist but as an institution with the baltimore police department that s just pure nonsense look we can t control what s in people s hearts. we have policied against that sort of thing, the constitution is the guiding force and we talk about how people deserve and demand how they should be treated. some officer is going to go off the reservation so to speak and go outside our code of conduct
he died a week later. his death led to days of riots and violence against police. the state s attorney acted rapidly against the officers involved. my team has been presenting evidence to a grand jury that just today returned indictments against all six officers. a grand jury dropped some charges and changed others but kept the second degree murder charge against the driver of the van. just last week cleveland police officer michael breelo was found not guilty in the death of timothy russell and melissa williams. his car backfired. police thought it was a gunshot and pulled him over. he sped away leading more than 60 police units on a 22-mile high speed pursuit. when it ended a dozen police officers fired 137 bullets into his car but officer brelo who says he thought the suspects were firing back jumped on the hood of russell s vehicle and fired 15 shots down through the

arrested. the narrative that emerges is as you heard don lemon say, he s been in a position where just because of the color of his skin he feels like the cops look at him differently. is he wrong? sure he s wrong. the only thing we haven t accused the american police officer of in this whole thing since ferguson is breathing while black because i suppose that could come up too. look just because the officer makes a determination no crime was committed doesn t mean he shouldn t ask somebody for information. when i send officers to an assignment i expect them to document something. they got called for service and i expect them to say i talked to person a, person b, resolved it. the opposite is true if they take down nothing and walk away and the woman and go to my officer and say let me see your memo book and there s nothing there. now, i think maybe they re hiding something so it s one of those adam filthauted eddamne dd if
