Donald Gresham, a longtime resident of East Baltimore, voiced his concern about what such a police force could mean to neighborhoods around Hopkins. “As a black man in East Baltimore, there is a major concern that we will wind up being the ones harassed, we will wind up being the ones that will be locked up, we will be the ones knocked on the ground,” he said. “The concern is no one is accountable for what they do to the people in East Baltimore.”
