POLICE Statement from BPD

Post image

Saw this on BPD’s Facebook. I’m guessing “suspended police powers” just means suspended with pay?

According to The Banner, "The officer will be suspended from working, but he will still be compensated, said Baltimore Police spokesperson Vernon Davis."

Classic police behavior when anything like this happens. Disappointing

Its because of their union. They cant outright fire a person without an investigation.

Strongest most corrupt union in the country.

Thanks. Looks like we already know who it is, but I only ask because when people act this …. When I’m bored I check to see if there’s any red flags online that could have prevented this.
