Problem parts

A call-homicide-it's-serious shooting last night* in the 5300 block of Eastbury Avenue

http://www.pslweb.org/liberationnews/news/baltimore-protest-demands.htmlWhat took them so long? The families of former Marine Sean Gamble's family and of Officer William H Torbit Jr. have filed suits against the BPD over the shooting at the Select Lounge that killed them three years ago today.* In November 2011 a panel found that police lack of supervision and poor training led to his death,* though the panel's report claimed Gamble intervened with Officer William H. Torbit Jr. while Gamble's family claims he was running away from the scene when he was shot* by Torbit. Torbit's family has staged protests and called for a new, outside investigation.* The Select Lounge is still in business.

RE the homicide rate, SRB says citizens are "part of the problem."*

The BMA might get its stolen Renoir back tomorrow.

Another day, another fiscal-mismanagement story: questions but still no answers about the mismanaged $7 million federal grant for the homeless.
