The Baltimore Police Department has a black police chief. 50% of the commanding officers are non-whites. 55% of all new hires since 2010 have been non-whites.

So it is no surprise that three of the officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray are black. All six have been charged with serious crimes ranging from 2nd degree murder to 2nd degree assault. The Baltimore State’s Attorney is a black female who is actively involved with the NAACP and other black power groups.
