Maryland police chief latest to face reckoning amid protests

A Maryland police chief resigned this week within hours of a court filing that portrayed his department, one of the state’s largest, as an agency poisoned by a racist culture.

A lieutenant derided Black Lives Matter protesters in comments quoted in a New York Times article.
