Baltimore police requesting 100 federal officers to assist in fighting violent crime

[The Purge]

The Baltimore Police Department is requesting federal police officers to combat violent crime in the city.

"The ask is for federal agents to come help us," Baltimore police Commissioner Michael Harrison explained this week, according to WBAL-TV.

"Certainly, police officers will answer citizens calls for service. But I think what the bigger picture meant is federal agents will be on the streets of Baltimore. Not specifically patrolling, but on the streets helping, working side by side with police officers to help fight violent crime."

The federal government has yet to agree to the plan but it is believed that up to 100 officers, many from the ATF and U.S. Marshall’s office would be sent to assist Baltimore police.

It was also revealed via court testimony this week that Baltimore’s police department is facing a severe shortage of police officers. The department currently has 600 vacancies which includes 392 officers and 14 detectives.

Baltimore is on track for 300 homicides for the seventh year in a row and is expected to experience 1,000 shootings by the end of the year.

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan said in May that he was "very concerned" about violent crime in the city, which was witnessing a 17% rise in homicides at the time, and urged against the push by Democrats nationwide to defund the police.

"So, number one, we have to get tougher laws," Hogan said. "Number two, we can’t defund the police, which is the Mayor’s plan, we have to invest more in our police, and number three, we have to have a prosecutor that’s willing to prosecute crimes."

Law and order, Baltimore style....When confronted with this type of situation, a scumbag deliberately trying to injure an officer, the proper response is to put the scumbag down with extreme prejudice, as you would to any rabid animal that is trying to wound or kill you.

I hate to see the feds involved. Local politicians and community members allowed these neighborhoods to be turned into shitholes. U.S. tax payers shouldn't have their tax dollars thrown away on thugs, rioters, BLM scumbags, and other garbage.

Locals allowed the destruction of their neighborhoods, so they should pay to fix it.

Start by supporting the police. Let them do their fucking job and get the scum under control. Stop harassing the cops. Start harassing the fucking animals who are ruining your goddam cities. Stop throwing money away on the dirtbags.

Let the blacks wipe each other out and then use these federal funds to rebuild the city instead - a nice new city minus hundreds of thousands of blacks.

You have to do more than just arrest them. Cops arrest them and then they are done. So, it's a never ending battle if all Baltimore is going to do is release them right back onto the street. There is already a non stop battle with the public hating on cops but when the people that know better engage in the same stupid shit? I can't imagine that any aspect of that job is worth it.

no --no federal $$$ for that stupidshit

Yes, it is a horrible job dealing with very violent young gentlemen (and ladies).

I heard last night on the radio that people with lower IQs do not contemplate the consequences of their actions.

If that is true, then nothing can ever be done about the crime situation in this country except mass incarceration, which is something that Democrats strongly oppose.

(Just read -- yes, on the Daily Mail website -- that reportedly 90% of people in Detroit want MORE cops on the street!)

no federal help
these dumb democrat left wing crackpots call the police racist

A better use of money would be to take the animals to the shooting range for a few hours each week. Help them learn to hit their targets. Then load them up with ammunition, build a wall around their neighborhoods, and let them go at it.

Wish them luck, and let them wipe each other out. In the process, they can enjoy cleaning up their own shithole of a city.

Baltimore is a failed liberal city
