Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, addressing an alleged slowdown in police activity since six officers were charged in the arrest and death of Freddie Gray, said Wednesday that she had told police to do their jobs.
Rawlings-Blake said Wednesday that she has told the Fraternal Order of Police — the police union — that officers need to do their jobs or face internal discipline.

Why should they?
I’ll bet the police answer was two words. And it was not Happy Birthday.
Good luck with that sweetheart...
Sorry Beauty School Dropout Mayor, get wrecked.
Reply: “Yes, ma’am!” According to the union rules you agreed to, we will execute our required duties as best we can.”
Hey Mayor - F-U!!!!!!!!!!!!
Translation- “We need our scapegoat boogie men back on the streets”.
They ARE doing their jobs. They’re obeying the orders of the mayor to steer clear of Blackistan.
Ask and you shall receive, Mayor Steffie!
Because they're paid to? Same reason why anyone should do their job?
The Peter Principle on steroids is on display in Baltimore government, a mini version of the current federal administration.
Yeah, they know you “got their backs”.

Yup.
“do your job so we can accuse you of harassment and brutality”
DO YOUR JOB
and
If I feel the need to score political points I will have you arrested and hang you out to dry for doing your job...
Yeah - ‘feel well’, or something like that.
You can do your job, and, you can do your job. You can rush to a crime scene, and, you can proceed to a crime scene. You can catch a suspect, and, you can pursue a suspect.
Prove I’m not doing my job.
That’s a face only a mother could love.
The police heard the Mayor and the DA tell the public that making an “unlawful” arrest will get you indited. The police are acting accordingly.
What a maroon. Her actions have told the police, if you do your job you will be arrested. Her words now are, if you don’t do your job you will be fired.
Wow! Where did she go to develop such wicked management skills?
if you enforce the law you’re in deep deep trouble.
but then:
if you don’t enforce the law you’re in deep deep trouble.
