A BPD helicopter is continuously circling the neighborhood close to the Fraternal Order of Police in #Hampden, where protesters have gathered after marching down Morling Avenue. 1/
The announcement, played repeatedly is stating that they are in violation of [?] disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace, ordering protesters to immediately disperse or they will be subject to arrest. 2/ #Baltimore

My reflection on today's public hearing on the Mayor's nominee for police commissioner. I want to thank the many people who showed up to City Hall on a Saturday to deliver testimony.
Citizens are asking for a different relationship with police, including greater transparency, yet the process to find the right leader to get us there has been the exact opposite. We can do better! #Baltimore

You know, stepping back, this is tragic. Citizens are being asked to give comment on a commissioner they weren't a part of choosing and haven't met; who the mayor hasnt tried to sell them on; while he is in Texas with an ailing child undergoing surgery
Intriguing comment/recommendation at the BPD public hearing for #JoelFitzgerald
Replying to @iduncan
Travis DuCote makes the pitch for finding a local civilian leader to serve as commissioner: "This is a management issue."
One hour into the BPD public hearing for #JoelFitzgerald there has been no citizen speaking in support for his candidacy. Public sentiment: he’s not the guy for #Baltimore.
