The Baltimore Sun has been running the results of a 6-month investigations in their Sunday paper the last couple of weeks. It’s mind boggling. More than one officer has had multiple lawsuits filed against them and one officer alone has cost the city approx $600,000 alone.

Taxpayer money is being wasted. There should be a lot more outrage in Baltimore. Wonder how many other cities have this problem that is not being reported?

If this has been going on for a while then why do these cops still have jobs? Why haven’t they been locked up? Oh wait…it’s because they are cops and cops are privileged to act as they please because…they are cops….
