WASHINGTON The Justice Department formally released a damning report on Wednesday detailing the routine abuse inflicted on Baltimore residents by the citys police department.

Baltimore police regularly performed unconstitutional stops, frisks and arrests which disproportionately targeted black residents and held an us-versus-them mentality, the report says. The Justice Department also found that officers retaliated against citizens, took a lax approach to sexual assault cases, employed excessive force too freely and used slurs against LGBT people.

Here are some of the most damning findings in the report.

A woman with a broken headlight was publicly strip-searched.

A black officer with a reputation for speaking out over misconduct was harassed by a supervisor, who placed signs warning him to stay in your lane and mind your own business on his desk.

The Justice Department found that officers had been accused more than 60 times of using the word n****r, but the Baltimore Police Department didnt classify the language as a racial slur.

An officer used a Taser on a man who was yelling and swearing. In his report, the officer said the mans weapon was his mouth.
