https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE_L1sES5AIShooting before that was a young mother with no criminal record who had been robbed a few times and got a legal license to purchase a 12 gauge. Police said she was holding her kid hostage so she began livestreaming on Facebook to show the police were lying. They cut off her internet and shot her.
Baltimore is at the point where all real threats are off the radar. It is probably the most serious 'powder keg' in America. There is no question it is going to become a hazardous place.
Should police be held to some reasonable standard in places like that when they kill people like Korryn Gaines? She did not have money for vehicle tags when she was killed, yet the police later claimed they 'found' a substantial amount of heroin in her apartment after they killed her and it was packaged for sale. Were she and her boyfriend really dealing heroin?

There are a lot of robberies in Baltimore, and it's possible the guy shot today really was robbing folks. But are the police going to actually release the bodycams of the shooting?
In the Korryn Gaines shooting the police claimed they were not wearing cameras, even though bodycams seem to be on the officers and it is normal policy for SWAT teams to wear bodycams.
In the last shooting one bodycam was released that shows the guy turning away from the officer, and quite a distance away, when he was killed.
