Now, we turn our attention to a scathing report issued last week that gives a comprehensive account of the failure of the Baltimore Police Department to identify and root-out the corrupt cops who continually broke the law for years as part of the Gun Trace Task Force.
Joining Tom now is journalist Justin Fenton. He covered the unfolding GTTF story for the Baltimore Sun, and he’s written a book about it called We Own This City, A True Story of Crime, Cops and Corruption. An HBO series based on the book will air this spring. He's continuing his coverage for The Baltimore Banner, a new media platform that is scheduled to launch in a few months.
