Summary
The article discusses the ongoing legal battle five years after Peyton Ham was killed by a Maryland State Trooper. It contrasts Governor Wes Moore's vocal criticism of federal law enforcement shootings in Minnesota with his silence on the Ham case involving state police. The piece examines the lawsuit against the trooper, the family's pursuit of justice, and the apparent double standard in political responses to police violence depending on whether the officers are federal or state-level.
