No big fan of police unions, but in this case, the Baltimore union's report is devastating. Batts is already gone, and in a sane world, Rawlings-Blake would be following him out the door real soon.

Here is the report, in PDF:

BALTIMORE CITY FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE LODGE #3 AFTER ACTION REVIEW: A Review of the Management of the 2015 Baltimore Riots

It's worth reading.

Stick a fork in Baltimore.

They are done.

The idiotess is continuing the liberal tradition of no IQ, no eddikashun, and no ability to lead.

The union report exonerates the union members? Shocking.

Same thing in Ferguson. The first week there were over five hundred shots fired calls around the affected areas. Many police cars with bullet holes including those MRAPS people call tanks.

It was an effing mess and I only went up there a couple times. Some of my colleagues were up there almost every night.

It has not been really addressed but many, many police officers are getting out of police work completely because of this nonsense and to get ahead of the August 9th anniversary.

The entire force should call in sick.

Pretty damning report.

Commissioner Batts and command staff members addressed officers during a roll call on April 25, 2015 at Police Headquarters. Of those officers who were present, and with whom the After Action Review Committee spoke, each reported being given direct orders from Commissioner Batts and command staff members not to engage any protestors. Officers were ordered to allow the protestors room to destroy and allow the destruction of property so that the rioters would appear to be the aggressors. According to officers’ accounts, they were told “the Baltimore Police Department would not respond until they [the protestors] burned, looted, and destroyed the city so that it would show that the rioters were forcing our hand.” The officers were told their primary job was to deescalate any situation with no response rather than to escalate with action. This was confirmed by officers from other jurisdictions who attended that roll call.
