Former police commissioner: Mosby ‘incompetent’ and ‘vindictive’ – Baltimore Sun

Sure being a police officer is supposed to be an honorable profession but that honor is tarnished when officers disrespect the laws they are supposed to be upholding. And that is exactly what happens when officers cover for each other or obstruct investigations into “their own.” The honor of the badge is tarnished. When a police officer covers up for another officer they aren’t just “protecting their own,” they are choosing their fellow officers over the public they are sworn to protect and the laws they are sworn to enforce.
