BALT submitted a Public Information Act demand of the Baltimore Police Department asking what type of accountability they took and are taking with Officer Terry Love Jr. for using such extreme violence in striking Sharnesha Street Friday night. Due to the level of force, the investigation must be conducted by the Departments Special Investigations Response Team. SIRT investigations are considered criminal investigations, and therefore beyond protection of the the PIA personnel records exemption. BPD knows of his history of misconduct.
BALT also submitted a record demand of State's Attorney Mosby’s Office, for any and all evidence and reasons they accept Officer Love's level of force and their immediate decision to not file charges. He certainly meets the same elements of second-degree assault as the cases they argue to be held without bail.
As there has been a public announcement that Officer Love will not be prosecuted, these investigatory files are now disclosable.
