    The union that represents Baltimore Police officers called on Mayor Catherine Pugh on Friday to “reconsider” the appointment of Marvin McKenstry as the chair of a police oversight panel, saying body-camera footage from a traffic stop of McKenstry last month — and published by The Baltimore Sun on Friday — showed he is unfit for the job.

    “Mr. McKenstry’s lack of cooperation with a lawful police order caused a lengthy confrontation that did not need to occur,” Lt. Gene Ryan, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3, wrote in a statement. “What should have been a 10-minute traffic stop took almost an hour and caused several officers to leave their own posts and duties, endangering other civilians and officers.”
    I often don't agree with police unions because of their willingness to protect bad cops from being punished for wrongful acts (especially in Baltimore), but I absolutely agree with them there. This guy has no business being part of an oversight panel when he shows willful disdain for those he is overseeing. It creates a bias, a conflict of interest.
