In Baltimore, Maryland, the highest officer acquitted in the Freddie Gray case is slated to receive approximately $127,000 in back pay.

The city’s Board of Estimates is set to give Lt. Brian S. Rice $126,916, reports the Baltimore Sun. Rice was exonerated of manslaughter and misconduct, among other charges in the Freddie Gray case. According to the board schedule, the sum “represents the amount of salary that Mr. Rice would have earned for the period of May 1, 2015 through July 18, 2016.”

Wow!  Add to that his platinum plated benefits, and that's more than most of the country earns, including me, and I live in the NYC area, which has a higher cost of living than Baltimore or surrounding areas.

We may have sympathy for his plight as a wrongly-accused, but this clearly illustrates the unwarranted power of public sector unions and why they must be reined in.
