P.G. County Cops Are Channelling the Ghost of Rosemary Woods

Maye you remember her, maybe you don't. It seems that the PG County cops took a page from her book:
University of Maryland officials have asked Maryland State Police to investigate why university video footage, subpoenaed by lawyers on behalf of a student who was beaten by Prince George's County police, was not immediately turned over to the lawyers -- and why a portion of the video is missing.
The cops attempted to delete a bit more than 18.5 minutes:
The campus Department of Public Safety downloaded about 60 hours of video onto 31 CDs, the statement says. No university police employees viewed any of the videos as they were being downloaded, the statement says.

The university also created an index of the CDs, the statement says. In examining the index, a university employee discovered that a 90-minute video segment was missing from Camera 158, the statement says. Camera 158 is trained on Knox Road, in the area where McKenna was beaten by county police, the statement says.
Why would the campus cops stick their necks out and apparently engage in a little bit of evidence tampering?
The university police lieutenant in charge of copying the videos, Joanne Ardovini, is married to John Ardovini, one of the officers on horseback said to have been assaulted by McKenna and Donat.
They're going to need an entire wing at the prison for the PG cops, if this keeps up.

And it's not the first time that the PG cops have engaged in this sort of fuckery, by the way.
