On Tuesday, County Executive Johnny O announced the expansion of the Baltimore County Mobile Crisis Unit. While this is a sign of progress, we hope these services become even more independent from police to increase their effectiveness over time. The Baltimore County Justice

#MDGA21 was declared the “police reform” session because of the protests after George Floyd, Breonna Taylor were killed. Right now, as the country is watching the murder trial in MN, @MDSenators are gutting protections against officers’ use of force. Is this justice???

@willcsmith @senbillferg You need to concede to the House's use of force standard! The standard JPR created was unconstitutional, and would utterly fail to keep people safe. Maryland deserves better than a standard that only meets the bare minimum constitutional floor! #MDGA21

Police Reform, NOW!!!
Thank you to @julianejonesjr @CouncilmanIzzy @Wade_Kach for your support.

In a narrow 4-3 vote, Baltimore County Council tabled plans to vote on legislation banning police chokeholds and other reforms due in part to amendments that would’ve “gutted” the bill. The @BaltCoExec said that decision shows “we have a long way to go.” rb.gy/wkzdj7

@Deb_A_Power police have the proper training because of the lack of support elsewhere. However, I do agree, there needs to be a better solution.
English
So train them, or this cycle of violence and death by cop will continue. They don’t have to shoot to kill, wounding him to bring him in was possible, but he walks. If they don’t have the training they shouldn’t be working where this is a possibility. 🇨🇦😷

Officer Page, who was involved in the November shooting death of 48 year old Eric Sopp was cleared. However, a top policing expert says that most police officers do not have the training to reduce "suicide by cop". washingtonpost.com/crime-law/2020…

@Deb_A_Power Totally understand. That is kind of iffy though because some people don't trust the police to handle these types of situations and then there are people who complain that the police have to worry about keeping a social worker safe. Then there are people who would want to see the
