Baltimore police sergeant indicted for planting BB gun on victim intentionally run over by fellow of

13. Most important...These cops were relatively sure they wouldn't be caught.

There is no doubt in my mind that these cops never imagined they would be caught. A sergeant in the police force of a major city knows the consequences. He is sure he will not be caught, that is why he does it. In this case, Gladstone is covering for a friend, another sergeant Wayne Jenkins. Jenkins was sentenced to 25 years in jail for the crimes he did as a cop. So both were sergeants in the Baltimore Police Department, and were relatively sure they would get away with any crimes they committed. As sergeants they had been around a long time. Seen a whole lot, and gained insight into the "system." That is why they had the arrogance to do what they did. Who would catch them and who would punish them?..
..Note: it was the federal government that charged Gladstone, not the Baltimore Police Department.
