Report Finds Issues In State’s Response To Baltimore Unrest

BALTIMORE (AP) — Weaknesses in Maryland’s response to last year’s civil unrest in Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray included the inexperience of some emergency management staff and reliance on inaccurate information, according to a new state report.

The Maryland Emergency Management Agency report, released Monday to The Baltimore Sun (http://bsun.md/1Sqa2I2 ), said the rioting last spring “presented unique public safety challenges” and “many opportunities for improvement.”

The report also said it found that the State Emergency Operations Center was relying on inaccurate information from media coverage during the riots because it received few details from official channels. It also discovered that there was a general “lack of understanding” about the various functions of the state operations center, particularly who was in charge of decision-making in some areas.

    How about the issue of the Mayors instructions to Stand Down?

    In other words the mayor is an incompetent, idiot who should be held responsible.
