Brickbat: Keep on Trucking

Kirk Parker Jr., an employee with the Baltimore Department of Public Works, has been charged with second-degree burglary, theft, malicious destruction of property and two counts of fourth-degree burglary. Police say he used a city truck to try to steal an ATM. Police arrived to a report of a burglary to find the truck parked in front of the ATM, which had chains around it. The front license plate on the truck and the city emblem had been taped over. Parker fled on foot but was caught.

I;m sure the Baltimore state attorney will go for max charges to set an examp, uh, never mind.
Where is Marilyn Mosby?....Oh yeah, she got busted too.
Spent half of last year empaneled on a Fed Grand Jury out of Baltimore. So upset I didn't get to hear that one.
Trump finally took her down.

He is a Government employee.
Three counts of burglary? Are they all for this incident, or did he make a habit of this?
The truck, the money, and the machine?
It's always the low-level crooks that take the fall for the big guys. Who could blame this guy for seeing what the pack of crooks running Baltimore are getting away with and deciding he wants his little piece of the pie as well? And I use the term "running Baltimore" loosely, is there anything these people do other than steal and grift and despoil the city? Baltimore is an absolute shithole and nobody seems to be doing anything to try to make it any better.
I think you mean rummaging through Baltimore.
There are no citizens there? Just politicians?
"...nobody seems to be doing anything to try to make it any better."
Someone isn't up with their CRT sessions, I see. Baltimore's problems is all systemic racism, and capitalism, and white supremacy. The "man" has caused all of these problems. Nice job victim blaming though.

If only they could have kept officer McNulty on the force.

Bal'mer police know pocketing drug money is much easier.
It was not reported that Parker was released with no bail in time to make his next shift.
I thought brickbats were for government being idiots - - - - - - - -
Whoever hired this thief was an idiot.
Baltimore. Color me not surprised.
Chains? Why didn't Parker claim he was the victim of a racist hate crime? Where are Smollett's "advisors"?
The cops must not have had split reins to whip him with.
I left Baltimore 15 years ago. You can take the man out of the city but cannot take the city out of the city.
He was just trying to truck his blues away.
Another good example that people in government are often crooks.
I'll consider this a brickbat when he has all charges dropped under qualified immunity to go with his new position in the Baltimore PD.
