Input: (CNN) The Department of Justice's explosive report on institutional racism in the Baltimore Police Department represents a devastating indictment of the criminal justice system. Over half a century after the modern civil rights movement, this system continues to denigrate black lives and deny African-American citizenship. It further proves, through documentary evidence, what Charm City's black residents have always known: that the police department serves as more of an occupying army designed to arbitrarily punish, humiliate and even kill than as a protective forced designed to defend and honor. The report specifically chronicles the systemic abuse of black residents that culminated in the death of Freddie Gray in a police van and the subsequent urban rebellion that rocked the nation last year. African-Americans were -- and continue to be -- disproportionately stopped, searched and approached by city police, often without being charged with any crime. One heartbreaking example depicts a black man, well into middle age, who police stopped a staggering 30 times in a span of fewer than four years without ever formally charging him.The Justice Department issues an incriminating report on institutional racism in the Baltimore Police Department.Peniel Joseph: Report provides evidence the police serve more as an occupying army than as a protective force. 
 Question:Not only are black _'s systemically dehumanized by a criminal justice system that is ostensibly there to serve and protect them, the perpetrators of racial injustice are never held accountable -- as Baltimore residents know all too well with the recent acquittal and dropped charges against the six officers involved in Freddie Gray's death.
