ANNAPOLIS, Md. —Annapolis police are answering charges of departmental racism.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the American Civil Liberties Union made the accusation Monday during a press conference, and they're calling for a town hall meeting.
The goal of the two-hour town hall meeting is not only to air out concerns but to generate recommendations that will be provided to city and police officials.
Harold Lloyd has lived most of his life in the old Fourth Ward, also known as the crime-plagued Clay Street corridor. A quick look around reveals a lack of playgrounds or recreation centers. Lloyd said few officers are from the city, which makes relating to the community difficult.
"So when they come through, it's to lock up somebody or tell them to move," Lloyd said. "Really, there is no relationship."

When is the charge of racism going to end... who will put an end to this crap. I'm so tired of hearing it. If the black community keeps wanting to scream racism, then do something about it. You are the ones that are starting the whole racism movement. I'm tired of hearing it. It's time to start a chapter of the white/black people who are sick and tired of hearing the word racism and discrimination to advance their agenda. Get. Real job
Blah blah blah same old bull carp from the NAACP hate group
I noticed in the post "lack of playgrounds" , this is pure BS , you know it and I know it. Example: Salisbury has a playground on every corner (it seems like)in depressed neighborhoods ( hoods) , it doesn't do any good , they don't even use them , they put a hoop up in the street .
