The attack on a young, 15-year old African American Northwestern student, by a group of Jewish 'patrol' officers stating during their viscous assault that "he did not belong in that neighborhood' drew outrage by blacks, and whites alike – yet was never charged as a hate crime, with felony assault charges eventually dropped by the newly elected, Jewish Baltimore City State's Attorney.
