Once again the Baltimore City Police Department is dominating the news cycle for the wrong reasons. Recently the department has had to deal with a young officer being recorded assaulting a citizen along with a sergeant being arrested after being punched by another officer downtown. Then, of course, there is the release of the Independent Review Board’s report into the death of Det. Sean Suiter. The board determined that suicide was the most likely cause of death, which is the polar opposite of the department’s original stance that Detective Suiter was murdered. These incidents are just the latest in what seemed to be continuous blows to the credibility the department has within the community.
