On Wednesday, Baltimore's Board of Estimates is expected to sign off on an appropriation to cover legal fees at an outside law firm hired to steer the city through the federal review. The budgetary move will then have to go before City Council.
The $2 million represents both billed and anticipated legal costs related to the U.S. Department of Justice's ongoing "pattern or practice" investigation into the Baltimore Police Department's use of force and police tactics, said Howard Libit, a spokesman for Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. The money is expected to cover a time period from when the Justice Department opened the investigation in May through the end of Baltimore's current fiscal year, which ends in June 2016.

that is 2000 hours at $1,000 per hour or 4000 hours at $500 per hour.
I find it so disgusting that this drug dealer , drug user , thief , robber , and plain creep gets this attention . The police did nothing wrong but do their sworn duty. Just because a bunch of law breaking blacks chose to destroy part of the city , we bow to their needs , I don't think so , while their mayor is in Paris dining and dancing.
Of course this the culture that swarms America now , black li9ves matter , I don't think so!
Make the Baltimorons pay for it Governor Hogan!
I detect a pattern to this DOJ extortion........
