Baltimore Rising

On April 12th, 25-year old Freddie Gray was arrested in West Baltimore. A week later, he died from a neck injury sustained while in police custody, sparking protests that captured national attention.

The anger over Gray's death is rooted in a long history of police violence in Baltimore, where many residents see law enforcement as an occupying force—and some former officers speak about a culture of silence in the department that insulates officers from accountability.

Fault Lines travels to the Baltimore to investigate a string of alleged police brutality cases that preceded Freddie Gray's death.
