Baltimore’s mayor announced Wednesday that she had asked the Department of Justice to investigate whether the city’s police department has acted unconstitutionally.

“Throughout my administration, we have taken a number of steps to change the culture and practices of the Baltimore Police Department,” Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake (D) said.

“Despite this progress, we all know that Baltimore continues to have a fractured relationship between the police and the community.”

The announcement comes one day after new Attorney General Loretta Lynch visited the city and met with Rawlings-Blake.
