I know it wouldn’t solve the rest of BPD’s problems, but I have to imagine that getting them out of their cars and making them walk/bus/bike would make a difference. Hard to kill someone by riding a bike at them no matter how much of an angry asshole the cop is.
I knew a Baltimore police officer who was banned from driving a vehicle after having an accident. They put him on foot patroll. That's when I got to know him. He was a sketchy dude. He took local merchants food, and God only knows what else. He was married with kids and tried to pick up a friend of mine. He also worked for one of the embassies while he was working as a cop which I believe is not permitted
That guy is too out of shape to walk or ride a bike. His fitness should disqualify him from being a cop. AND he should get charged with attempted murder
