| Detective Sean Suiter |
After reading all I've read about the Baltimore Police Department, I find this all hard to believe. There is something rotten in Baltimore. I believe there are more secrets, possible being covered up internally and if everything comes out along with the crimes the DA is already aware of, they will be "draining the Baltimore PD swamp".
Police Commissioner Kevin Davis continues to convey that they are cooperating with all investigating agencies. The FBI says additional personnel and agencies could be brought in to assist in this case. It's difficult to understand how a detective with 18 years of experience under his belt could be ambushed by a "suspicious man" in a vacant lot with a partner nearby in broad daylight. There had to be witnesses - even a neighbor peeking out from a window. Somebody saw what happened. I'm surprised the reward money hasn't led them straight to the shooter. Unless they are too scared to come forward because of the people involved. There is a good possibility that fear is slowing down this investigation but I believe the FBI and any outside agencies that assist WILL get to the bottom of this hideous crime.
The crimes in which the 8 officers were indicted for are very serious - in particular, for a person who the public puts their trust in to actually rob the very citizens they are sworn to protect, for sworn officers to help or facilitate the distribution of drugs into this "troubled and dangerous" part of Baltimore is inexcusable and unforgivable. We expect and deserve much more from our officers. We pay their salary and if they do something that egregious, they need to be fired, prosecuted and whatever else the law allows. Enough already! We need to be able to trust the first responders, not fear them.
I have little doubt this crime will be solved, and I also have little doubt it will not be found to be a "random" act of violence. There are too many coincidences. This must be related somehow to the multiple indictments coming down the pike. The timing of the murder alone speaks volumes if you open your mind to the possibility that these bad cops could have done one more despicable thing. I believe they did. If they did, it might be difficult to prove because they are so well versed on how murder investigations are conducted and they would have taken precautionary measures. I believe the best hope is to make a deal with the shooter in order to get the people who organized the murder.
I'm going to stay with this case until we see some answers come out. You don't need to live in Baltimore to care about what's happening there. This is our country and ALL police departments need to adhere to the same "Protect and Serve" mantra. If they wanna be dirty, don't become a cop.
