“Last week, Laurel Police Department patrolmen came upon a lone Hispanic man who said he’d been confronted by several black men, beaten and robbed of his money. The victim recovered from his injuries, but the case was just the latest example of crimes targeting Hispanics in Laurel.

According to authorities at the LPD, there have been approximately 50 cases since June involving Hispanics victimized by black assailants. And those are just the ones the LPD knows about.”
