STATEMENT FROM COUNCILMAN SCOTT ON DEATH OF POLICE DETECTIVE 

BALTIMORE—"My heart is broken for Detective Suiter, his family and for Baltimore. Detective Suiter dedicated his life to helping families in Baltimore find closure amidst the trauma caused by the disease of Gun Violence that is ravaging our city. While we all should be angered by yet another cowardly act of violence on our streets we can't afford to sit on that emotion. Detective Suiter gave his life trying to rid our city of murderers. Don't simply be angry again as we have been for every murder this year. Don't just pray. Do Something. There is only one way out of this dark place our city is currently in and that is working together. Egos, desire for power and all other personal feelings need to be let go so that together we can get our city back on track. I am starting with myself and again letting Baltimore know that I am here to help in any way possible. I will continue to dedicate my service to ridding our city of the disease that is ripping us apart in honor of Detective Suiter and everyone who has lost their lives to violence in Baltimore."
