RE; Baltimore City Police Scandal.
In addition to the charges against the officers (some of whom had prior disciplinary issues before this) there are allegations that the officers were tipped off to the investigation by the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office.
See http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2017/03/03/prosecutor-indicted-baltimore-pd-officers-were-tipped-off-to-investigation-by-cops-asst-city-states-attorneys/ for more details.
The :”scandal” may be deeper than a lot of people think and realize.
