I put together a rundown of the information provided by city police so far in the investigation of the death of Detective Sean Suiter: baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/…
One detail we’ve confirmed since Wednesday’s news conference: Commissioner Davis met with federal authorities regarding the grand jury testimony on Tuesday night
There are questions about reports regarding the time it took to get Detective Suiter to the hospital. I understand them, but as they pertain to his actual injury, Dr Scalea of Shock Trauma tells me:

Federal trial of ex-Baltimore, Philadelphia cop expected to shine more light on drug dealing activities of city’s corrupt Gun Trace Task Force. Opening statements begin soon baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/…
In opening arguments, Assistant US Attorney Derek Hines tells jurors that ex-Philly cop Eric Snell and his family were “running a full service drug shop in Philadelphia” fueled in part by drugs supplied with no overhead by corrupt Baltimore officers. “It was 100% pure profit”
Texts show coded language such as “8 tickets to the Orioles home game.”
8 = quantity, tickets = drugs, Orioles = ounces, home game = cocaine, because Orioles wore white uniforms for home games, Hines says

Thread: New claims made yesterday in a fatal shooting committed by convicted Det Jemell Rayam in 2009; it was Rayam’s third shooting in a 20 month span, prompting calls for a federal investigation that never came articles.baltimoresun.com/2009-03-14/new…
Just days later, Rayam was given a Silver Star for a different shooting: articles.baltimoresun.com/2009-03-11/new…

Crazy testimony in federal court just now by former Detective Maurice Ward, outlining illegal tactics used by Gun Trace Task Force Officers ...
They’d regularly drive fast at a larger group of people, slam brakes and pop their doors to see who ran, then detain and search them. They had no reason other than trying to provoke someone. 10-20 times on slow nights, as many as 50 times others, he said
Ward said Sgt Jenkins profiled vehicles - “dope boy cars” such as Honda Accords, Acuras, Honda Odysseys - for car stops and would falsely claim he saw people not wearing seat belts or their windows were too darkly tinted

Comprehensive & powerful new piece on Maryland’s history of lynching by @jonpitts77 in @baltimoresun, relying on the research in my book On The Courthouse Lawn. As Archbishop Desmond Tutu once said, “history does not lie down quietly.” baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/…
One of the messages I sought to emphasize in my book that must still be reckoned w/today is that the MD lynchings were perpetrated and condoned by ordinary local ppl including middle class whites.
I’m often asked what makes a lynching a lynching? How is it different than murder?

In 2012 - informed by my observations in Baltimore - I critiqued the popular lament of whether working moms can “have it all” & argued that a true feminist agenda that is responsive to the needs of women of color must include issues like transportation equity.
Here’s the piece I wrote in 2012 in response to the “Lean In” phenomenon in which I talk about the urgent transportation equity needs of working moms of color. beaconbroadside.com/broadside/2012…

Maryland's seafood industry is in crisis: Nearly half of crab processors have no workers to pick meat sold in restaurants and stores after losing in a first-ever visa lottery. baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/…
“This is going to cause the price of crab meat to go out of sight,” said Harry Phillips, owner of Russell Hall Seafood on Hooper’s Island. “There’s not going to be hardly any Maryland crab meat.
U.S. immigration officials won't say if they will raise cap for guest worker visa program, which lets workers come just for seasonal work and then go home. Most crab pickers are women from Mexico who have been coming for years.
