Tennessee: TBI releases its 2009 hate crimes report

Highlights of the report show that racial bias represented 27 percent of all hate crimes reported and no officers were “reported as feloniously killed in the line of duty” in 2009.

The reports show hate crimes reported to law enforcement across the state and incidents where police have been assaulted or killed.
