    US Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced today the launch of a sweeping investigation of the Baltimore Police Department for "excessive force, including deadly force, unlawful seizures and discriminatory policing." The probe follows the death of Freddie Gray in police custody, and criminal charges filed against six officers. Baltimore officials had asked for a federal review and Lynch said today one was needed to fix a "serious erosion of public trust." Gloria Browne-Marshall is a professor of Constitutional Law at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and author of Race, Law and American Society: 1607-Present.
