Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley

The lawsuit alleges that Glock makes pistols that are easily compatible with auto sears, attachments that essentially turn the pistols into automatic weapons.

Robert Phillip Nedd appears to have a gun which he is commanded to drop before police open fire. Worley defended officers’ decision to pursue the man on foot after he fled the scene of a car crash.

Baltimore City Police Chief Richard Worley was confirmed in October of last year, after several months as acting commissioner following the departure of former commissioner Michael Harrison.

The Police Department’s Public Integrity Bureau investigated 15 individuals for policy and misconduct violations, including one captain, two lieutenants, four sergeants, three officers and five civilian staff members.

In the coming weeks, Baltimore City police will announce plans to enhance traffic patrol and increase traffic stops for violations, a department spokesperson confirmed.

“The fact that this milestone is occurring at a time when the city is achieving a recent and historic reduction in violent crime… is a testament to the effectiveness of constitutional and community focused policing.”

A court filing shows that the U.S. Department of Justice agrees that BPD is now fully compliant on two sections of its consent decree with the federal government.

The video shows the man fire at least one shot at officers. When questioned about why so many shots were fired, Worley said, “We're taught to shoot to incapacitate."

The department refers two-thirds of city youth auto-theft arrests to the state’s attorney and 97% of youth carjackings.

Commissioner Worley said they did recover a handgun with an extended magazine at the scene but they do not know yet if the weapon was fired.
