Baltimore Mayor Ousts Police Commissioner in Wake of Riots
Wednesday, July 8, 2015 4:34 PM EDT

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake of Baltimore decided on Wednesday to replace the city’s police commissioner, Anthony W. Batts. The mayor acted just hours after the police union issued a report critical of the department’s response to the riots set off by death of Freddie Gray, an unarmed black man who suffered a fatal spinal cord injury while in police custody in April.

Ms. Rawlings-Blake appointed Mr. Batts in 2012 after he had resigned as the police chief in Oakland, Calif., amid criticism of his handling of civil unrest there.
