Did you hear about the election night insanity in Charles Village?

by Adam Meister, Baltimore Politics Examiner

The City Paper has done a great job of covering this story. It appears that Baltimore police got a little out of control on election night. Here is a firsthand account of what happened. The writer ended up urinating in his pants because the police would not let him out of a paddy wagon. He blames Mayor Dixon:

To Mayor Dixon: I hold you accountable for the appalling, irresponsible behavior of your police force. They turned a peaceful, orderly, euphoric celebration of democracy into a brutal, embarrassing fiasco.

You can read more about this incident here and here.

Below is a short video filmed at about the time things got crazy.

For more info: An old article of mine that mentions a different kind of anarchy.
