[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any word on his position on police reform?  I don't see any mention of that.  And since he's a former prosecutor, it would be interesting to see if his views have evolved at all.[/quote]

This issue will be big.

I predict the Dem who wins the primary will have a progressive stance and the Republican will get the police union support while using squishy language on reform.

Note: we have a Republican Governor who easily defeated a Dem candidate the last two times. I’m not so sure MD is as progressive as we think we are. [/quote]

The police must be defunded in Maryland.[/quote]

You know who suffers when that happens?  Lower income Black and Brown people.  Upper income people can afford to live in low crime neighborhoods, send their kids to low crime schools, drive later model cars that provide more safety in car crashes, and so on.    But go ahead with your performative politics.  [/quote]
This is not a real issue in Maryland and absolutely no one who has a serious chance of winning is going to run for office, state or local, any where in this state that will make this a part of their program. So there’s really no point in discussing it.

I’m honestly not sure why y’all are fixated on police reform when it is not a salient issue is this state at the moment. The big issue right now is transportation, where MoCo based politicians are so dumb that they support tolling their constituents to improve 270. The rest of the state politicians were smart enough to remove toll lanes from the rest of the beltway.

There is going to be a big fight between these transit weirdos and the reality that more people want to and will drive post-Covid. This is the issue to watch and the pro-roads people will most likely win.
