Baltimore Police Commissioner fired over homicide spree

[Missourian]

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake replaced the city's police commissioner on Wednesday, saying the city needed to be more focused on suppressing a spike in violence in the months since the death of a man in police custody.

Rawlings-Blake said the police department under Commissioner Anthony Batts had become too preoccupied with internal politics and not enough with stemming a surge in shootings and killings.

Much of the spike in violence has occurred since the April 19 death of Freddie Gray, who sustained grievous injuries while riding the back of a police transport van. Protests followed, then looting and rioting. Six police officers were charged in Gray's death.

Around the same time, arrests declined, and the murder rate began to spike. The spike has yet to settle.

Through June, there were 48 percent more homicides in the city than the same period last year.

The criminals are emboldened and the police feel no one has their back. What did they expect?

Hahaha!!!! WOW!!!

Just when I thought this couldnt be more of a clusterfuck.

This ***** allows the riots. Fails to equip the cops. Throws them under the bus. Her DA makes a racially charged prosecution of cops...without evidence.

Then fires the police chief....for a spike in crime???

This is like going on a fast food binge then suing McDonald's for getting fat.

Wow. Just wow.

ROFLMNAO!

So that "STAND DOWN!" thing isn't panning out?

SERIOUSLY?

Huh... who could have seen that comin'?

Great idea to fire the commissioner.

He had no business allowing that idiot mayor tell him how to do his job.

Watching liberalism in action....and the inevitable clusterfuck that follows...is so entertaining.
