re: #509 Targetpractice

Well yeah, but that’s the difference, Mosby is new on the job and she doesn’t have the sort of incestuous relationship with the BPD that police unions approve of, where she lets cops get away with murder in exchange for them providing her office with a steady stream of cases to try.

I’m curious just how far the FOP is willing to take this to assert their authority. Will they follow in the NYC chapter’s footsteps of calling for a slowdown in arrests? Have cops stage a massive sick-out? There’s just no way they’re going to let this end with some seething and a demand that she this over to an SIP that they can influence into dropping all the charges.

II imagine if the cops go on strike or have a “sick-out” that the crime rate would probably actually fall.

Don’t forget, also, that the DoJ is conducting a parallel investigation into Freddie Grays’ death.
