Commentators quickly criticized the apology, asking why the targets featured Black men despite the package allegedly including multiple ethnicities.
Dominique Conteh, the NAACP president of the Carroll County branch, posted a response to the department’s apology on Facebook, saying it “…displays a lack of sincerity, sensitivity toward minority residents and makes it abundantly clear that your department lacks the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion that all local officials should strive to participate in”.
