2021-03-10 22:30:07 A newly unsealed report in a federal lawsuit accusing the Prince George’s County Police Department in Maryland of racial discrimination and retaliation supports the department’s side of the story.

An initial report on behalf of the officers, which was unsealed by a court last month, was written by former California law enforcement official Michael Graham.

The newly unsealed report, supporting the Prince George’s County Police Department, was written by former Montgomery County Police Chief J. Thomas Manger, and seeks to provide counterpoints, responding to allegations in Graham’s report from last month.

In his report, Manger counters each individual count of accused racist or retaliatory behavior, with an argument as to why it was not what it was accused to be. Open / Comment

2021-03-10 00:32:43 Over the past year, we have seen an alarming surge in racist violence directed toward Asian Americans. A United Nations report identified more than 1,800 racist incidents against Asian Americans over an 8 week period from March to May 2020. These attacks have included denial of access to public spaces, verbal harassment, physical assault, vandalism, and in several cases even murder. Moreover, these incidents have targeted the elderly and most vulnerable. This wave of attacks has caused panic and confusion among Asian Americans and forces us to question: What is motivating these cruel and cowardly assaults? Are they purely an organic and spontaneous response to current events? Open / Comment
