This video shows the cop walking through the Perkins Homes complex in East Baltimore as a few of the residents seemed to be giving him the business when he appears to purposefully cough right in the face of the person recording him.
The woman holding the camera fired back with a string of obscenities as the cop walked away still coughing loudly. Lindsay Eldridge, Baltimore Police Department spokeswoman says, “We have viewed the video, in its entirety, and believe it warranted being forwarded to the Public Integrity Bureau for an internal investigation.”
It has been confirmed by the police officer, who is in fact a sergeant, is still on active duty right now. As of now, it is not clear if he has been tested for coronavirus.
Not only is that completely untrue, but there are also recent reports indicating coronavirus is having even more of a negative impact on the Black community than any other community. This woman spreading false information could put the lives of her fellow citizens in jeopardy.
