Baltimore’s mayor asked the FBI to send in reinforcements Wednesday to help the city get its murders under control.
Mayor Catherine Pugh, speaking at a news conference, explained she went to the FBI’s Baltimore office for extra agents to join with police officers in combating a skyrocketing murder count, reports CNN.
“Murder is out of control. There are too many guns on the streets. We’re looking for all the help we can get,” Pugh said.
The city already has 101 murders for the year, a number not seen in almost 20 years. The mayor’s spokesperson warned the violence could rise in the summer months.

Well, how about you start by getting rid of the illegal immigrants and then keep the convicts in jail until their time is served! These liberal leanings of the mayor and city council are your downfall!
ReplyDeleteremember when the mayor sided with the THUGS against the police? This is a direct result - but oh now we need the police!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou do realize that this is a new mayor.
DeleteOh, so now they like the police.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is better to let nature take its course.
ReplyDeleteToo many guns on the street? Hah! Those savages would be killing each other even if all they had were sticks and rocks.
ReplyDeleteViolence always rises in the summer months in Baltimore and every other large city. Duh.
ReplyDelete101 murders is no big deal its part of city life. If you don't like it move. I agree with you and it's RACIST to blame the former mayor and current states attorney! You agree?
DeleteThey brought this on their own selves by not supporting their officers. Of course there is a shortage of officers. Who is crazy enough to want to apply for a job as a police officer in Baltimore when they become the ones being charged for doing their job! !
ReplyDeleteHow about putting guns in the hands of responsible citizens and not making them defenseless. Having to rely on police response is a joke in this liberal state.
ReplyDeleteSo what does the Mayor think of "Stop and Frisk?" It is the most effective way to get guns off the streets.
ReplyDeleteRemember what the last idiot mayor said "You have to give them space to destroy". Obviously that meant to kill as well to the low life thugs. It could be easy to fix the political problem of stupid liberals running the cities. As a resident if you don't pay taxes - you don't vote. Watch the cities change for the better overnight.
ReplyDeleteI recently had to go to VA hospital in Baltimore and I didn't even recognize it. The roads were all torn up nothing but steel plates as roadways. There was a construction crew on every corner just standing around, made up of mostly, oh wait a minute can I say it, Hispanics. Then you have rge ghetto rats on every street 20-30 deep standing around dancing BSing.
ReplyDeleteStop and Frisk! Don't all the liberals think that policy is racist? Searching black males on the streets for guns, when black males on the streets are killing each other with guns, just doesn't make sense to a liberal. Liberals are great at politicizing a problem, but never solving them.
ReplyDeleteNow there is a President that supports LEO and this Mayor has changed her mind since she was elected and cry for help. Remember her past DemocRAT Mayors. They were / are gun control nuts that did not support their LEOs and allowed illegals / gangs drug pushers to rule Baltimore. These DumbocRATs were the ones who pleaded to Obama to get DOJ involved. Loretta Lynch is the one that conducted the scathing review against the Baltimore LEOs. Baltimore and the DumbocRATs asked for it and they have it. So they have to deal with it on their own.
ReplyDeleteThat's what the Mayor and States Attorney fought for, while charging cops who interfered with felonies. They got what they fought for.
ReplyDeleteI thought Maryland and Baltimore wanted to be a sanctuary state/city?!?!?
ReplyDeleteAfter how many years of democratic power, and they still blame republicans and rich white people for their problems.
Those people must love misery because they keep voting for it.
Why? It's a sanctuary city and the states attorney will indicte the police for doing the job... This is what they wanted and now they have it... call Hillary Clinton or al sharpton or obama.
ReplyDeleteI thought owemalley's gun control bullsh!! was going to put a stop to all this gun crime. You know keep the children safe. 10 round magazines, HQL card required to even exercise your constitutional rights, finger prints, photo, mandatory class, and don't forget your fee to the MSP. I guess the thugs in charm city didn't get the memo.
ReplyDeleteBaltimore gave birth to this mess, let Baltimore deal with raising the mess. Take care of your own, don't expect entitlements.
ReplyDelete101 Murders so far this year? That's chump change. Chicago has that many a day.
ReplyDeleteThis new Mayor did not run on change so why is she acting like she needs help now. She is now / was before elected part of the problem so she can deal with it.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the Governor have to declare a State of Emergency first before any request for federal assistance happen?? I know that Governor Hogan would have no problem declaring a State Of Emergency but she needs to make sure she follows the law.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with a red dot, even if its in the leg?
ReplyDeleteKeep charging arresting officers with the crime of doing their jobs and you city will continue to become a murder capitol!
ReplyDeleteYou chose that route and you will now have to drive that road...
