Baltimore City Police No Snitching Mentality

The DOJ Report is an investigative report released by the Department of Justice. While there are several reports out there I’m going to focus on the one they did on the Baltimore City Police Department. In the report it was mentioned how important it is to build a good relationship between community and department. Yet talk about police not telling on each other out of fear of retaliation. “Many officers are reluctant to report misconduct for fear that doing so is fruitless and may provoke retaliation.” (DOJ Report) Why should the public trust the police when they can’t trust each other? How do you eradicate corruption within the department if all the cops are taking up for each other?

Below is a video that touches on other issues in the DOJ Report
