SIGNIFICAN­T NUMBER 10

-

As a police officer walked toward a woman standing outside a public housing complex in Baltimore, she called out to him and pointed her cellphone camera his way. “Hey, officer Friendly, with the cherry cheeks,” she said in profanity-laced video footage. The white officer said nothing, but continued to walk past. Then he appeared to intentiona­lly cough more than 10 times without covering his mouth as he passed within a few feet of the black woman and other residents standing in the courtyard. He is now under internal investigat­ion.
