In a recent study, Racial Disparities in Cherry Hill, NJ have reached record levels. The victims include children as young as 8 years old subject to Police force. (in this specific case a young Black 8-year-old girl was subject to "hands/Fist" for noncompliance, this means this young child was struck by a Cherry Hill Police Officer with an open or closed fist.)

On December 8th, 2020 Camden County NAACP President Henderson joined Rise Against Hate in a meeting with the Mayor and Chief of Police. 

Since this meeting, Mayor Susan Shin Angulo has taken no action.

Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of Psychotherapy Services at Penn Medicine Found that: "This police department (CHPD) is actively causing trauma to our Black children" -Dr. Jessica Shore.
