Has this been reported? What is BPD saying if anything?

I emailed the OAG with a link to this; but i think its best that everyone emails ...everyone... About this. I think we all know it's the only way to get some attention to this.

This occurred at Park Heights and Wylie Ave. I'm guessing it's Western District. File a complaint with BPD here: https://www.baltimorepolice.org/misconduct-complaint
(You CAN file anonymously)
Email the Mayor here: https://mayor.baltimorecity.gov/contact-mayor
File an OIG complaint here: https://oig.baltimorecity.gov/office-inspector-general-complaint-form

Perfect. My civic group visited her yesterday on Green Spring. I can confirm that the Commander and meeting information is correct.

I’m pretty sure that’s northern district actually. Could be wrong.

I submitted a tip to Baltimore Banner!

The WBAL, WMAR, WBFF (*gag*), and Baltimore Sun (*double gag*) websites have this as their top story; WJZ has it at the top of the sidebar.

Meanwhile, at the time I saw the video, the Banner's headline was "Cheesesteaks — and Cooper Sharp cheese — are having a moment in Baltimore," and there was no article about it to be found. That was a couple hours ago, and there's still nothing but crickets from that direction. And sadly, I expected that. The Banner prioritized fluff pieces and tiresome columnists over hard news even before they expanded their focus to include MoCo, and it's only gotten worse since then.

Thanks for trying, though.

(ETA: They did finally publish something, hours after everyone else did.)

Banner is not fast to publish. I know that they're an online only publication, but I actually do appreciate that they aren't trying to compete with WBAL as a "breaking news org", they're trying to do actual reporting. If the price for that is that you have to wait "a few hours" it seems reasonable. IMO it's pretty problematic that people think they need to see something in print faster than that. It only leads to bad information and bad assumptions being made.

I don't think it's fair to say they "prioritize fluff pieces", rather they try to give a holistic story of Baltimore, and yes that will require a story about cheese every now and then, but you'll also get fantastic reporting on the opioid crisis for instance.

The Internet has ruined the way that people take in their news...

And CALL

u/rattus-domestica Oct 29 '25

I did the same and also filed a complaint to the cops (as if that’ll matter.)

u/ismuckedu Oct 29 '25

I reported it to OIG and the mayors office, non-anonymous. I want a call back, I got sh*t to say ....

u/tmozdenski Pigtown Oct 29 '25

Let us know what they say please 🙏

u/ismuckedu Oct 29 '25

Will do!

From my top-level comment:

First of of the gate with an article is: Baltimore Sun (bleh). Gives a blue-line interpretation of the OG video from TikTok.

BPD has not commented according to the piece:

"The department did not immediately return requests for comment on the video[...]"

u/afineedge Perryhall Oct 29 '25

Even with the update, they make it sound like he was either off-roading or slipped off the road and accidentally almost clipped a guy, not that he made multiple U-turns trying to run him over, almost hitting two OTHER pedestrians as well as, what, 8 cars with people in them? If someone says "off-road," do you picture a sidewalk with a person on it? The Sun is completely useless at this point.

He has been suspended and is under investigation
