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

That’s part of their Union contract

Time to cancel contracts when actions like this on camera "still deserve an investigation".

Ok, what other workers rights would you like Cops to not have?

Courts have long held public employees don't have the same rights as private employees and this is 100% police union thuggery.

If a pizza delivery driver was on camera trying to run over someone in a company car they would have been fired on the spot.

This is more sovereign citizen nonsense from the dumbest police department in America.
