I often don't agree with police unions because of their willingness to protect bad cops from being punished for wrongful acts (especially in Baltimore), but I absolutely agree with them there. This guy has no business being part of an oversight panel when he shows willful disdain for those he is overseeing. It creates a bias, a conflict of interest.Quote:
The union that represents Baltimore Police officers called on Mayor Catherine Pugh on Friday to “reconsider” the appointment of Marvin McKenstry as the chair of a police oversight panel, saying body-camera footage from a traffic stop of McKenstry last month — and published by The Baltimore Sun on Friday — showed he is unfit for the job.
“Mr. McKenstry’s lack of cooperation with a lawful police order caused a lengthy confrontation that did not need to occur,” Lt. Gene Ryan, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3, wrote in a statement. “What should have been a 10-minute traffic stop took almost an hour and caused several officers to leave their own posts and duties, endangering other civilians and officers.”
That Candid Camera video was hilarious! Ahhhh...such fond memories of my second grade teach, Ms Purtle.
Seems to me that the Baltimore guy would have just been tazed and arrested after about the first 10 minutes if he didn't hold the position and be known to the police as he was. I hope he realizes that and is running around complaining about his treatment.
