Corruption at TPD
MORE
"When I asked Jane Castor almost 10 years ago, what was she going to do to clean up the department and she replied there were no bad cops under her, I was flabbergasted. Now we see her ineffective leadership in the racist cops she covered for finally coming to light." Chris Cano

Biking While Black In Tampa
Between Jan. 1, 2014 and Aug. 30, 2015, Tampa police documented 9,121 bicycle stops. Though black people make up about a quarter of the city's population, they accounted for 7 out of every 10 bike stops. Among those stopped, black bicyclists were more likely to get a ticket than white bicyclists.
**This disparity disappeared after the Times investigation, researchers said, when Tampa police mandated that all bike stops be documented as "street checks."** According to a report by the Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, the Tampa Police Department policy of writing tickets to black bicyclists didn't reduce crime, stop bicycle crashes, or curb bicycle theft. All it did was "burden" black bicyclists. "Though these stops were intended to reduce problems in areas with high crime rates, which were mostly black, the disproportionate citing of African-American bicyclists was unfair and, even if not intended as harassment, often perceived as such," COPS office director Ronald Davis wrote in the 72-page report.

Words of Rev. Russell L. Meyer
"Tampa has a strong mayor form of government. That means TPD works for the mayor. Look at the budget. TPD is unquestioned. It is the mayor's enforcement corps. It has been used for political repression. The mayor can direct sting investigations and felonize political opposition. A Chief of Police has far too many " HERE

Walking While Wearing A Hoodie In Tampa
Robert Washington was walking home from a convenience store to eat a sandwich one hot July evening. This should have been without incident. However, a Tampa Police Officer staked him out
and then followed him.
and then followed him.
---
She pursued him and demanded his time and attention, to which he, within his rights, said No! Robert just wanted to go home and eat his sandwich in peace. However, the police officer could not take no for an answer. She continued to harass Robert--but Robert stood his ground and would not let her take up any more of his time. That's when she told him she needed to speak with him because "he was wearing a hoodie" and "looked like somebody".
---
As he attempted to enter his own home, he was attacked by several police officers, who brutally took him down and arrested him.
