A Baltimore cop, identified as Richard Pinheiro, was recorded on video planting drugs then "finding" them moments later - in front of two other unnamed cops. The video was made possible due to Pinheiro's body camera being designed to keep the 30 seconds of video prior to it being "switched on".

Charges against the civilian suspect have been dropped; no word yet on any criminal charges against any of the three cops.

    Many Wikipedians are for deletion of everything they possibly can. They basically won't be satisfied until Wikipedia is totally content free. Them wanting to delete it is not a huge surprise.

    Considering the recent parallels to the 1930s, burning virtual unpleasant books isn't exactly a shocker.
