More Dumb Cops -- Baltimore Police To End Tuition Reimbursement
The Examiner reports the move being made to save money. Wonder how this will affect already difficult recruiting prospects. I wonder how much money could be saved by tightening up on officers making nuisance false arrests.
Baltimore leads the nation in false arrests. Over 1000 arrests are thrown out of Baltimore courts every month. Lacking evidence of the commission of a crime. Many of the officers are poorly trained and incompetent. Unable to differentiate between real crime, and minor disturbances easily handled with a sign and release citation.
The money spent on these arrests, including a lot of overtime, could be better spent if diverted to real police work. After all, there's no shortage of problems for the police to handle in Charm City. Sorry, but upsetting a police officer who's ignorant of the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights is not a crime. The department should find a way to continue to support the educational advancement and continue training of police officers.
MESSAGE TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT/INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES
To all those who willfully, deliberately and routinely violate the civil rights of law abiding American Citizens; Yes, you're powerful. Sure, you're everywhere. But this is still America, and the Constitution of the United States Of America still reigns supreme as the law of the land. The Baltimore Spectator will vigorously and aggressively defend against any and all attempts at spying and suppression. Let it be known to all that we are already aware of the regular monitoring and shadowing attempts. There is nothing to hide, but cross the line and there will be hell to pay.
In the end, efforts to impinge upon the freedoms of the people will ultimately fail. Some of us may get taken out in the ongoing battle for true and lasting freedom, but as I've said many times before, and will say till the day I die or get taken out by you goons, THERE ARE MORE OF US, THAN THERE ARE OF YOU.
