Editor’s Note: Two other cops involved in the corrupt Baltimore Police Gun Trace Task force – Evodio Hendrix and Maurice Ward – were sentenced today. Each received seven years in prison. Last month, Thomas Allers, who pleaded guilty to nine robberies carried out while on duty between 2014 and 2016, was sentenced to 15 years behind bars.
Former police sergeant Wayne Earl Jenkins was sentenced to 25 years in prison Thursday for leading the rogue Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF) of the Baltimore Police Department.
The investigation has forced the department and city prosecutors to throw out more than 1,700 criminal cases that the officers corrupted with their involvement, BBC reported Thursday. Jenkins pleaded guilty participating in 10 robberies of citizens as well as planting drugs on crime scenes and selling confiscated drugs back onto the streets. He will serve and additional three years of supervised release following the 25 years sentence.
“I’m wrong, God knows I’m wrong,” Jenkins said. “I’m so sorry to the citizens of Baltimore.”

I agree with 8:06, they are only sorry they not only got caught, but more than likely he is only sorry becasue he is being made an example of... Cops think their implied immunity will always be there, and that is why they do what they do... And as far as I am concerned, this is fake news becasue I have yet to see any cop go to jail for being corrupt...
