As police officers pulled over motorists across the street, Baltimore residents and politicians gathered at a west Baltimore church Wednesday evening to discuss what they consider to be a rash of unjust arrests.

The town hall meeting was organized by the Rev. Charles Neal, whose story of what he called an illegal arrest first appeared in The Examiner. Neal was joined at Greater Harvest Church of God on Fulton Street by City State?s Attorney Patricia Jessemy, City Council Member Kenneth Harris (D-4th District), and former mayoral candidate Andre Bundley. The politicians, along with dozens of city residents, discussed what they said were flaws in the city?s police strategy.
