Two Baltimore police officers told CNN today that the police are in “reactionary mode” after six officers were indicted for murdering Freddie Gray.

Mediaite reported:


Two Baltimore police officers spoke through voice-altering technology to CNN’s Brooke Baldwin Wednesday morning, telling her that cops are in a “reactionary mode” since the criticism of the department over the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody.

Violence has spiked in Baltimore since a supposed “police slowdown,” in which officers pull back from their duties when they feel a lack of city and community support. The officers said police are still responding to emergency requests, but have stopped initiating policing, instead retreating into a “reactionary mode.”

“Even though you have reasonable suspicion…nine out of 10 times, that officer is going to keep on driving,” one officer said.

Why cops are allowed to do this nobody knows, but the two anonymous officers told CNN that the situation creates a boon for criminals.
