Most disturbing about the data, however, is the implication that law enforcement still polices certain neighborhoods and people of a particular hue much tougher than everyone else. This is no surprise to the people living in these communities who have long complained they receive more attention than they care for from the police. Let’s not forget the 2010 settlement the city signed with the NAACP and ACLU on behalf of defendants who say they were unfairly policed under a zero-tolerance system put in place under the Martin O’Malley administration. It seems some of those practices may have stuck around despite what administrations after that have claimed. The disparities are particularly galling in the aftermath of the death of Freddie Gray, who was fatally injured while in police custody, which put a national spotlight on the city’s arrest practices. You would think being under the watchful eye of a federal consent decree would have also made the police more cognizant of discriminatory practices.
