Report: Baltimore Police 'Afraid To Arrest Anyone' Out Of Fear Of Political Backlash

In the wake of Freddie Gray's 2015 death while in Baltimore police custody, the city installed a series of reforms -- such as the consent decree -- aimed at giving more transparency for the department and how they treat suspects. But the intended consequence of the measures is that many police feel they cannot enforce the law, and that elected leaders simply look for any excuse they can to throw officers under the bus if it helps them politically. New evidence shows this is making the city more dangerous.

In 2017, Baltimore started the consent decree. Its goal was "to have a stronger police department that fights crime while it serves and protects the civil and constitutional rights of Baltimore City residents."

It required a series of internal reporting, documentation, and justification for all arrests and interactions with the public. But, a recent report shows that the city's goal is not being reached.

The nutjobs in MD won’t educate the students to graduate and get a job. Instead, the spend money to develop a program to teach LGBT.

9:33 that is becasue LGBT is a new commodity or income generator for people like they did with common core education... Makes you dumb as a rock, but it is a new industry for them to make new crap and get paid for it... All the while they take stuff out that is important...
