A Morgan State University professor appearing on MSNBC Monday used the Baltimore-based television show The Wire as an explanation behind unfair police tactics.

Lawrence Brown appeared in a lengthy segment with host Tamron Hall shortly after it was announced that a police officer charged in the death of Freddie Gray, Officer Edward Nero, was found not guilty of all charges.

Hall and Brown were talking about police culture in Baltimore and other cities and how it affects most African Americans. Brown said most of the policeman in Baltimore City were not residents of the areas they patrolled.
