The LRPD racially discriminates against African Americans in its policing and this comes at the cost of black lives.
Why is this important?
The U.S. Dept. of Justice recently announced that it will perform a "pattern and practice" investigation of the Ferguson/St. Louis County Police Department. This effort came in response to claims by citizens of the shooting of unarmed black men, excessive force and racial discrimination/profiling. We deserve the same independent review in Little Rock.
