Wow my friend. Your home town of Baltimore is ground zero for unsoved murders and corrupt police. You seem to have a problem with the APD. Didnt The APD just have a double murderer plead guilty this week? I cant help but wonder if you are a resident of Baltimore or are being housed at supermax in Baltimore?. There is a difference you know Ghostof. Could it have been a narcotics case on Clay Street? you seem familiar with the area.

where to cut - 2010-03-06 08:13:36
If the first layoffs aren't at the Annapolis Police Department Narcotics Division then I won't think much of Mayor Cohen. They waste a lot of money entrapping poor black people on Clay Street and then try to make them seem like big time dealers (which they certainly aren't). I think they should just get rid of the whole department and ask the County to take over policing. The City Police are corrupt and don't do a very good job. God forbid that you get murdered in Annapolis - the crime will never get solved or the wrong person will be prosecuted.

Its about time... - 2010-03-06 07:51:25
...we had a democrat mayor who can show some fiscal prudence.
I am sorry those people lost their jobs, but working for government vs a private company should not grant them some kind of immunity from the recession.
