Gang shootings gone wild in Baltimore, police standing down...

[2aguy]

As has been pointed out, most gun murders occur in small multi block areas in or inner cities.....the worst are the one run by democrats............now,with the democrats having succeeded in undermining the police, and the citizens blaming the police for their woes...the police are seemingly standing down...and the criminals are shooting people.............

I wonder if the criminals made sure to get background checks before the 40 odd shootings...

I wonder if they registered their guns with the authorities before the 40 odd shootings...

I wonder how easy it is for a law abiding citizen to get a legal weapon to protect themselves since the police are now reluctant to step in. Vs. how,quickly a criminal can get a gun and use it to commit murder...

Justice for Melissa Anne Bingham. Ten shot in Baltimore Thursday night Hot Air

The streets are still filled with people carrying signs which call for Justice for Freddy Gray. I wonder if anyone will come forward to demand justice for Melissa Bingham. Sadly, her story is far from unique. The records show that we’re barely the month of May and Baltimore has already seen 82 people killed this year. That’s an increase of 20 over the same time last year. In addition to those killed, they are up to 134 non-fatal shootings for 2015, also a significant increase over last year.

As an aside, one might wonder how so many people are getting shot in Baltimore when Maryland already has some of the toughest gun control laws in the nation, drawing protests from Second Amendment proponents across the nation. It’s almost as if these gang members don’t care about following the law.

and to point this out again......

According to the link...Maryland is a gun banners paradise...assault weapons are banned as are magazines over 10 rounds.....so....I am sure the gang members comply with those rules.....

After the two officers just shot to death the only logical action is to stand down and let the savages kill one another. Why bother risking your life for another riot.

 

[2aguy]

This is essentially the democrats readying the ground for 2016....destroy some inner cities and come in and say...vote for us....again....and we will make the rich republicans pay........of course....don't look too closely at the fact that it is the democrats who have been in charge all these years..............

Most telling quote in the article...

Lt. Victor Gearhart, a 33-year veteran who works in the Southern District, said residents with complaints about police “are going to get the police force they want, and God help them.”

 

[2aguy]

No reason for cops to stick their necks out....the democrats in charge will hang them, after they turn the people against them, and the people will wonder why crime sky rockets............

The police should still follow the Mayor's directive of 'standing down' against thug actions.

Just a smaller version of Chicago.

At least 87 people have been killed in Baltimore this year, 22 more than at this time last year. Nonfatal shootings are up nearly 50 percent across the city.

Ten people were reported shot on Sunday alone, including three who were shot to death within a span of 39 minutes."

Must be the cops' fault.

They can't be blamed for avoiding a hornet's nest. Bad enough they'd have to put their lives on the line for acting, they'd also be putting their careers on the line if/when they're accused of something.

well, they should call their mayor and then their state Prosecuter

maybe they can get Prince to sing them a song to make it stop. Or they could invite the Rev. Sharpton and he can go in and shout them down into stopping

They allowed their government to let this happen. good luck now

"Officer Shoots Hammer-Wielding Man in Midtown Manhattan
A witness said he saw a man preparing to hit a woman with a hammer from behind just before the gunfire erupted shortly after 10 a.m. at the corner of West 37th Street and Eighth Avenue, where a body was sprawled in the street.

“He was getting ready to hit the girl,” said the witness, who gave his name only as Carlton. He said the officer was about four feet behind the man and fired three or four shots. The hammer-wielding man then fell to the ground, said Carlton, who was across the street on Eighth Avenue at the time of the shooting.

What else police can do? If they will shoot or beat somebody - they will be fired or somebody will sue him!
Or protesters will begin their "executive actions" immediately...
And it doesn't matter what suspect did, he's always right!

Four shots and the perp is gonna recover.

Here's what police can do: be better shots.

This is going to be a long, violent Summer. We are going to see demonstrations almost everywhere over just about everything. And, police will stand by and do not for fear of Dimbocraps putting them before judges and juries.

If you live in or near The Hood - get the hell out! Take a very long vacation.

But not here where I live, please.
