After a developer's bid for a Remington dump backfired, he's thinking bigger. Seawall reached a deal this month that looks to some like a step toward a long-held Baltimore dream: to turn the banks of the beleaguered Jones Falls into a park. w/ @emilyopilo

Johns Hopkins University nominates an unqualified "Police Accountability Board" candidate for the State Senate to confirm for 2026-2028; withdraws the nominee; submits a replacement nominee; and then claims ignorance when current Board members ask questions about what happened:
English
The "Accountability Board" of Johns Hopkins University Police meets Wed 18 March at 6 pm. You can only "attend" online. The published agenda includes an item about how JHU nominates its hand-picked Board members. Think they'll answer the question below?

Who thinks it's odd that the "Johns Hopkins University Police Accountability Board" is refusing to say what 2026-2028 Board position JHU has nominated Aprille Weron for? JHU advertised 7 faculty, staff and student positions but submitted nominees for only 6. Plus Weron. For what?

What is JHU hiding? Everything about its officers' actions on that occasion, including why they involved themselves when the building was so clearly outside JHU Police jurisdiction. JHU bases its denial on the PIA, but it allows them to withhold portions, not the full report(s).
English
State law requires JHU to provide access to law enforcement records of its private police department in the same way that BPD is required to provide access. But JHU is denying access to all portions of its officers' report(s) from this incident on January 24th at 123 W. 29th St.

On Saturday 24 January there was a shooting inside the high-rise apartment building at 123 W. 29th Street. There was a large BPD presence at the scene. Around the corner, on Howard Street, two JHU Police cars were parked and the drivers were in the building. Under what authority?

Is anyone from @JohnsHopkins able to clarify? Is a new Board position being created to retain Aprille Weron?

@sarahkendzior Honestly, it seems most days that both Israel and the US are being run by cults.

Robert Friedman's "The False Prophet" is one of the most frightening books I've ever read. Published in 1990, it is essential to explaining the Kahanists and Israel today. He warned of the nightmare world we live in now. The book is out of print, but find it if you can.

@MdStateClosing Hey Maryland State government, shouldn't you be able to use the correct spelling for the jurisdictions? It's Worcester.

This thread illustrates how well Johns Hopkins University has managed to avoid the fundamental issue of where JHU's private, armed police are actually authorized by law to operate in Baltimore City, versus the bogus jurisdictional boundary maps published online since August 2022.

The so-called "Johns Hopkins University Police Accountability Board" had a Feb 18 meeting at which a former Board member spoke to current Board members. Here is what he said about the jurisdictional boundaries of the JHUPD. Neither the Chair nor any member questioned him on this:
English
I mean they are finite, and the Board doesn’t really have a say, but there may be, you know, pertinent questions, but they have to go to the JHPD [sic] and the University.
English
jurisdictional boundary, and you’d be surprised how many questions come from the public on that issue, where they can submit those. Because like I said, I mean, we’re interpreting those rules but we don’t make those, we can’t really have any say about that.

JHU website claims it is "currently planning to implement the JHPD only within our Homewood, Peabody, and East Baltimore campus area boundaries." Exceptions under State law: pursuit of suspect; traffic flow; emergency declaration by Mayor or Governor. So WHY WERE JHU POLICE HERE?
