The credible threat to the Baltimore PD is from the Mayor and Baltimore State's Attorney.

Quote:The president of the Baltimore police union on Thursday said that criminals have become “empowered” following the recent unrest and that, with six officers charged in Freddie Gray’s death, city police are more “afraid” of being arrested than shot on duty.[…]

“The criminals are taking advantage of the situation in Baltimore since the unrest,” said Gene Ryan, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3. “Criminals feel empowered now. There is no respect. Police are under siege in every quarter. They are more afraid of going to jail for doing their jobs properly than they are of getting shot on duty.”

The union released the statement on Twitter a day after the officers charged in Gray’s death filed a motion to have the trial moved out of Baltimore. Police commissioner Anthony W. Batts apologized to the union Monday night for putting officers in harm’s way.

Ryan said Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby, who charged the six officers, had “essentially overturned” Illinois v. Wardlow, a 2000 U.S. Supreme Court ruling. In that case, it was ruled that two Chicago police officers who chased a man in a known drug area and found a handgun in his bag did not violate the fourth amendment.

Mosby declined to comment on the union president’s claims.

You get the government you deserve. And right now, the people of Baltimore are getting what they apparently want.

And deserve.

Don't break the law or go into grey areas of the law and you won't be arrested or investigated.
