Rawlings-Blake, through a spokesperson, said: "Police misconduct is an issue I have personally worked on for several years, as is evident by the reforms already underway within the police department as well as my proactive outreach to the community over the past months. I didn't create these problems, but my track record demonstrates I'm committed to fixing them. As I've said before, I'm not interested in piecemeal change. I want to see bold reforms and we will continue fighting until we get there."
