While conducting an interview with Democratic Maryland Representative Elijiah Cummings, CNN host Brooke Baldwin questioned whether the violence in Baltimore had something to do with the amount of military veterans in the police department.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnother thing that has to be done here, is we\u2019ve really got to look at our police department,\u201d Cummings began.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut in what sense?\u201d Baldwin asked. \u201cWe talk about training, we talk about having officers \u2014 I was talking to the city councilman here last week. He said, \u2018Brooke, these people have to live in the communities\u2026 or there\u2019s a lack of emotional investment.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd a lot of these young people \u2014 I\u2019ve been talking about this so much. A lot of young people \u2014 and I love our nation\u2019s veterans, but some of them are coming back from war, they don\u2019t know the communities, and they are ready to do battle.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah they definitely need training,better training, and they need better recruitment,\u201d Cummings agreed.<\/p>\n
