Baltimore Rising
As calls for justice grow after the death of Freddie Gray, Fault Lines travels to Baltimore to investigate the city's fractured relationship with law enforcement
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.
