"If the first brick signals the beginning of a moral holiday for looters, the first thwack of a truncheon signals a moral holiday for cops primed to react to the unknown with fear and loathing,"

If you read this carefully and honestly, its hard not to come to the conclusion that Police need more and better training, vetting and oversight. features.propublica.org/weirton/police…

Not surprised to see this. Having run an all-remote team from 2009-2014, I can tell you remote work is not a magic pill. Remote or in person though, success is all about the people, their commitment and how well they communicate with each other. wsj.com/articles/compa…

"Maryland's Senate & House Ways & Means Committee failed to include all taxpaying Marylanders in the COVID relief bill. As it moves to the House floor, Democratic leadership must step away from Trump-era policies & step up for immigrants.” wearecasa.org/maryland-gener…

Amendments withdrawn by Sen. Michael Jackson Thursday afternoon were pumped back into the bill Friday night, several of which were pulled verbatim from the statute the bill sought to repeal.

.Baltimore Police Comm Harrison just called to say "Not all cops are racist," and that he's compelled to make a statement to that effect, on behalf of members who are complaining to him about me but who won't publicly disagree with their brotherhood. The blue line isn't so thin.

Not all cops are racist but a cop whose record I am looking at (who also has a "kill or be killed" tattoo btw) who was accused of discriminatory policing in 2019 will be able to have his discriminatory policing accusations expunged next year thanks to LEOBR amendments
