| Baltimore asks U.S. Justice Department to review police practices Posted: 06 May 2015 10:46 AM PDT  Baltimore officials asked the U.S. Justice Department to investigate its police department for civil rights violations after the death of a black man from injuries sustained in police custody, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said on Wednesday. The review will look into police practices such as frisks, street stops of suspects and arrests to see if they violate the U.S. Constitution, Rawlings-Blake said at a news conference. The request follows the April 19 death of Freddie Gray, 25, who sustained spinal injuries after being arrested by police. His death sparked protests and a day of arson and looting in the largely black city, and Maryland Governor Larry Hogan lifted a state of emergency for Baltimore on Wednesday.

| Bill Clinton tells CNN that tough '90s crime bill went too far Posted: 06 May 2015 11:08 AM PDT  Former President Bill Clinton said on Wednesday that an anti-crime crackdown when he was in office in the 1990s went too far, and said he now supports his wife Hillary's plans to reverse some of those justice policies. The former president told CNN's Christiane Amanpour that the crime bill was imperfect. Bill Clinton signed into law a major crime bill in 1994 that imposed tougher sentences, put thousands of more police on the streets and helped fund the building of extra prisons. We have too wide a net. We have too many people in prison. And we wound up spending - putting so many people in prison that there wasn't enough money left to educate them, train them for new jobs and increase the chances when they came out that they could live productive lives," he said according to a CNN transcript of the interview.
