Oh yeah...this is going to end well. Who in their right mind would want to either remain or become a law enforcement officer in Baltimore? The delusional people who run the state and city must believe that policing is just about as difficult as flipping a burger to McDonald's or making a nonfat, triple shot, iced latte at Starbucks.

The will not like reaping what they are sowing.

The only thing I can agree with is eliminating no-knock warrants.

The rest is moonbat guano.

Maryland Passes Sweeping Police Hampering Legislation

The State can De Police the blacks and Tyrannize the Whites, but the Cops can De Police Everyone including all Government Employees while they Tyrannize no one.

This could be fun.

So you would rather have the police knock politely at the door while the criminals escape? No-knock warrants should be used judiciously, but not outlawed.

What's wrong with police having to wear body cams?

It'll cut down on spurious lawsuits against them.

Nothing at all. If I were in law enforcement, I would be more than willing to wear one. But if the type of idiocy that is infecting Baltimore and other lefty cities is allowed to grow, police officers will be guilty until proven innocent. Bodycams will not be the be-all end-all to exonerate them.

I have a son that’s a cop. No-knock warrants are dangerous for the cops, too.

What’s your first reaction when unknown invaders are breaking your door down in the wee hours of the morning.

Meanwhile, a normal warrant service will have all the exits covered.

I’m glad I left while I could still get a good price for my house.

Just when one didn’t think the crime rate could explode even more in Baltimore, these idiots just assured it will.
