City of Alexandria is also doing this recently. They had a few suspicious/unexplained deaths that were discovered to be homicides. It helps their "crime report" numbers I guess.

Residents need to keep calling this out. It's just not right.

If you read the report, there is very little about police conduct. It's overwhelmingly talking about how the Medical Examiner didn't do his job properly. He may have had a police bias but that by itself doesn't mean the police were doing anything wrong.

Homicide is one of five classifications for "manner of death" purposes. It's not a criminal designation. Instead it means the other person's actions contributed to someone's death. That "but for" the person's actions, the subject would not have died. An officer could tase someone , meaning for it to get them to comply and not trying to kill them; yet mill them anyway. And that would be classified as "homicide." If the officer was following policy, then the officer would not be charged criminally.

The report did mention some things police should do, most of which has been done in larger jurisdictions in this area. Having body worn cameras and more comprehensive report writing kept getting mentioned. And finding alternative responses to people having mental health crises did as well.

But most of the findings of malfeasance here are with the Medical Examiner. The governor had ordered an investigation into the 41 deaths that have been reclassified by the audit team, to ensure justice is done. And maybe they will find something in some of the cases. But maybe not.

Nice job. Bootlicking fascist from Maryland wants to an hero for the thin blue line in Minnesota, but ends up being humiliated on national stage and accidentally pulls back the curtain on his own criminal behavior.

Medical examiner, not coroner. Maryland doesn’t have coroners.

Wow, this is so corrupt. Big Government killing people and then covering it up.

How far down does the rot go? I doubt it was solely Dr Foster who was up to no good. Will the families finally get te truth, or some justice? https://wtop.com/maryland/2025/05/autopsies-misclassified-in-custody-deaths-that-were-actually-homicides-maryland-officials-say/
