Former Baltimore Officer calls Ferguson Prosecutor a "Criminal"

Officer Michael Wood, an 11-year Baltimore veteran who retired last year due to an injury has become notable for tweeting the illegal and violent actions of his fellow Officers. This is what he had to say during an interview on the Joe Rogan program.

“He’s a criminal. He criminally covered up that indictment. There’s no way around it,” Wood said. “That’s what they did and no one seemed to care.”

When asked to explain by Rogan, Wood pointed to a saying that “you can indict a ham and cheese sandwich.”

The job of the prosecutor when pursuing an indictment is to “select the evidence that will get the charge,” he said.

“So the way that system actually is, is if there’s four of us in the room right now, if three of us think he did it and one doesn’t, we don’t even  listen to the one that doesn’t,” Wood explained. “If you’re not a reliable witness you don’t even come in for the indictment.”

Instead, McCulloch selected unreliable witnesses that tainted it, when he should have brought in evidence and witnesses that were consistent, Wood said.

“And you would have had an indictment. And you would have had a trial,” Wood said.

I've often wondered where the "Good" Cops who could see the violence and brutality that seems so common these days were hiding.  Apparently not all of them were hiding, one of them was Michael Wood.
