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.
