Kevin Clark: Deep scars over illegal firing

He claimed his firing was illegal, and Maryland?s highest court agreed. Yet when Baltimore?s former top cop Kevin Clark was asked if he felt vindicated by Thursday?s ruling that his firing by then-Mayor Martin O?Malley was illegal, the highly decorated former commissioner said a legal opinion couldn?t heal his wounds.

“I feel deep scars from this entire incident,” Clark said. “My whole career was taken away from me. I?ll never be the same person again.”
