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???

[Baltimore County Justice Coalition @bcJusticeCo]

@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

(4) Appoint civilians to the Police Review Board

Baltimore County cannot wait too much longer for police reform.

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

[Wilborn P. Nobles III @WilNobles]

@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.
