Andrew M. Fitzgerald faces second-degree assault charges for February incidentProsecutors charged Baltimore police officer Andrew M. Fitzgerald with assault on Tuesday after he allegedly entered a boy's cell in the city Juvenile Booking Facility and punched him in the face.
Fitzgerald, a 26-year veteran, faces charges of second-degree assault and misconduct, the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office said. On Feb. 17, prosecutors said, he entered the alleged victim's cell and struck the boy.
Second-degree assault carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, while judges have discretion in deciding sentences for misconduct in office, prosecutors said. Fitzgerald is scheduled to be arraigned Dec. 5.

You are just amazing.
11:00 You are sick. Sounds like the police officer needs a dose of his own medicine. Creep.
Let's coddle the poor boy... I mean, he could have been the next "innocent" trayvon. Poor boy.
/sarcasm. Beat his a$$ officers, maybe he won't end up back in jail.

Good advice. Hopefully this cop will be sent to prison for following that advice and get his ass kicked and worse.
Where do they find people like you?
Please explain your position 11:30. I'm always curious about mindsets such as yours.
Thank you 11:28. And it really is just that easy. Get em while they're young.
Beat that little juvies A@#. He definitely deserved it, look at kids nowadays. No parenting whatsoever.
That boy is a punk and did deserve it...
I'm so glad the state's attorney disagrees with you brutes.
that same juvenile punk will probably be a cop in the next four years. then he will be the one pulling your family members over.
12:05 Really? It is really very simple. A forty year old plus police officer has no business punching a juvenile in the face. I don't care if the teen is a criminal or not. The officer has no self respect. Haven't you ever heard the saying about picking on someone your own size? Preying on juveniles is the mark of a coward.

Well, he WAS a cop after all....
1:22 Your mindset is what allows kids around here to damage property, kill livestock, jump others, steal and rob with no consequences. If he wasn't "in jail", this wouldn't have happened. But, he was in jail, and he got a dose of what he dealt out to get in there.
The world would be a better place, if everyone punched a delinquent in the face!
When you do stupid sh*t 2:49 all bets are off! Welcome to the real world where age matters not. You wanna play thug? We'll play.
And when that "juvenile" rapes your daughter 3:05 who ya gonna call?
Call the thugs at 4:04.....
4:04 and 4:05 Condone police brutality. Police have an ethical obligation to not stoop to the level of the prisoners.
@2:49 would you rather the murderous juveniles be coddled? If he's in jail he's a criminal his age has nothing to do with it. He made the choice to commit a crime, probably showing off for the other inmates. Big deal he got punched in the face, better than being raped in the a$$ when he gets to big boy prison, and he will get there. Just give him time.
"Ethical obligations" don't always work when you're dealing with trash. Keep condoning this ghetto mentality and we will be overrun by thugs.

we already are. but they are easy to recognize. they all have badges, gun and most wear an uniform.
Most of these comments amaze me. Everyone seem to be attacking law enforcement. The part that humors me is that the reasons our country is in the shape that it's in is because of the restrictions put on police officers. You people are IDIOTS!
