events and information announced by the state's attorney. we are disappointed in the apparent rush to judgment given the fact the investigation into this matter has not been concluded. our officers like every other american citizen, are entitled to due process. we will continue to support them throughout this judicial process which we believe will result in a finding of innocence. we also promise all active duty officers that we will continue to work diligently to ensure that you will receive the necessary support from the fop to enable you to complete your mission safely. at this time i will turn it over to our attorney, mike davy. >> good afternoon. my name is michael davy. i'm an attorney representing baltimore city fraternal order of police lodge 3. myfirm has been retained to represent lieutenant rice and i'm here today to speak on behalf of all of the officers and their legal representation.
