November 17, 2015 – Segment 1A report issued today by the Police Executive Research Forum, “Lessons Learned from the 2015 Civil Unrest in Baltimore,” indicates that the Baltimore Police Department was ill-prepared to handle the uprising following the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray last April. Our panel of guests look at this report as well as the news over the weekend that Baltimore’s homicide rate surpassed the 300 mark. We are joined by Catalina Byrd, media consultant and political strategist; Luke Broadwater, reporter at theBaltimore Sun, where he covers Baltimore’s City Hall and local politics; Michael Eugene Johnson, community leader and Executive Director of the Paul Robeson Institute for Social Change; and Dayvon Love, Director of Research and Public Policy for Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle.
