‘Heads will roll': Officer in Freddie Gray case used his position to force arrest of ex-girlfriend’s husband

Baltimore lieutenant Brian Rice used his position to threaten ‘heads will roll’ if officers did not arrest his ex-girlfriend’s husband, police report reveals

The most senior Baltimore police officer charged over the death of Freddie Gray used his position to order the arrest of a man as part of a personal dispute just two weeks before the fatal incident, prompting an internal inquiry by Baltimore police department.

During an erratic late-night episode in March, Brian Rice boasted he was a lieutenant in the Baltimore police department and warned “heads will roll” if officers in a nearby city did not “go arrest” his ex-girlfriend’s husband, according to a police report obtained by the Guardian.

He was just exercising his discretion...and following department protocols.


(the sad part, is I can see someone actually making that argument, based on the ahh...creative..."statements" they've made before)
