Anarchy in Baltimore: Residents claim police have deserted them in wake of Freddie Gray riots as murder rate soars to highest in 15 years

Jennifer Jeffrey, 31, and son Kester 'Tony' Browne, 8, were killed Thursday They became the city's 37th and 38th homicide victims this month Residents have barricaded their doors in fear of ongoing violence Some have compared parts of the city to the Wild West Others have said virtually no police have been on the streets since riots Arrests are down almost 50 per cent on the same time last year Police claim they are being met with 'hostility' during confrontations

As one of the city's deadliest months comes to an end, terrified residents have compared parts of Baltimore to the Wild West.

In the wake of the Freddie Gray riots, families have barricaded themselves inside their homes, too afraid to leave, while those on the streets walk around wielding guns - because there are allegedly no police around to arrest them.

Arrested are down 50percent and homicides are at their highest level in 15 years. In the Western District, there have been more murders in the first five months of this year than in all of 2014.

Neighborhoods such as West Baltimore, which had seen heavy policing because of endemic drug and gang violence in recent years, have experienced a reversal, with citizens claiming they have been virtually abandoned.

But embattled law enforcement officials claim they are 'under siege' from criminals taking advantage of the unrest, while officers complain they are met with hostility while policing certain areas.

The president of Baltimore’s police, Lt. Gene Ryan, union tells WJZ:

“The criminals are taking advantage of the situation in Baltimore since the unrest. Criminals feel empowered now. There is no respect. Police are under siege in every quarter. They are more afraid of going to jail for doing their jobs properly than they are of getting shot on duty. Right now they can go to jail for following Supreme Court decisions such as Illinois v. Wardlow. The Baltimore States Attorney’s Office essentially overturned the Supreme Court’s decision. We hope that all leadership will come together to support the police to move the community forward.”

The Black flag caught my eye.... If there is any doubt that this ‘movement’ is operated by the arrested development crowd, read.

We are anonymous;
We are legion.
For every one that falls,
Ten shall take his place.
We do not forgive,
We do not forget.
We are the face of chaos,
The harbingers of judgement.
We laugh in the face of tragedy;
We mock those in pain.
We ruin the lives of other people simply because we can.
We are the embodiment of humanity,
With no remorse,
No caring,
No love
And no sense of morality.
We have only the desire for more.
We are everything
We are nothing
And now, quite simply, you have our attention.
Expect us”.

Because none of us can be a cruel as all of us.

You reaaly are lost aren’t you.

The Mayor, She ordered the police to let the Feral Animals loot.

She, the Mayor ordered the Police to ignore crimes.

She, the Mayor ordered officers to report to a Riot and ordered them to NOT wear protective riot gear.

She, The IDIOT Mayor waited a day and a half to issue a Curfew

Get your head out of your ass, they Do work for her IF they are required to follow her Directives.

Those are what we in the real world call on the field FACTS.

The Community said leave us alone. Stop harassing our poor ignorant criminal feral yutes when they be committing crimes. Well, they got their wish. They can die knowing they got exactly what they wished for. Left alone and jungle law took over.

The Cops aren’t the problem here. It’s 50 years of lazy mooches breeding worthless sperm donors, whose wildest dream is an increased monthly E.B.T. balance and turning their spawn lose to roam the streets and victimize any poor sap that happens by. Mammas to busy breeding, getting her hair or nails done to pay attention to littleTayshon.

I think the “inner city” blacks of Baltimore are slowly coming to a realization. That white America is starting to see that black America brings little value to society, and cares less and less about what happens to blacks.

Look at any US city where blacks are 40% or more of the population and you will find a sh%$hole.

Cops don’t work for the mayor, they work for their fellow citizens.

You mean the ones calling for their heads?

Or the ones throwing bricks?

Or the ones shooting at them?

Get your head out of your rear.

Hey Ecliptic - naw - not attacking you personally. But we do have the luxury here in the US that people are innocent until found guilty in the court of law. They are not ‘proven’ guilty, really, they are found innocent by a judge or a jury.

Much of what we read in the newspapers or see on television is so inaccurate that we can’t rely on it. It seems the state attorney may have overcharged the cops. I don’t know.

What I do know it: we do not know the fact.

I’m not sure we’ll ever know the facts. But we ought to wait for facts to come out. Hopefully they will.

It is called Karma, people of Baltimore. You empower the thugs and killers by blaming your protectors? Reap the whirlwind of murder and thuggery. You've made your pact with the Devil and now you're stuck with it. Karma sucks, doesn't it?

PORTLAND, OREGON

on May 29, 2015 at 8:00 PM,

Suspected gang shootings ‘coming in so fast’ that police playing catch-up

“Some police officers privately suspect that gang members are less anxious about carrying guns because police have taken a less aggressive approach to stopping and searching suspicious people in the wake of a scathing U.S. Department of Justice investigation into Portland police use of force and amid the national furor over high-profile police shootings in Ferguson, Baltimore and Cleveland.

“In light of the DOJ settlement, yes, we’ve directed officers to be really thoughtful on the reasonableness and subtext of their interactions with people,” said Dana Haynes, spokesman for Mayor Charlie Hales. But Haynes has no idea if that’s a factor contributing to more gang violence, he said.”

Some Baltimore pharmacy owners wait for police response to looting

May 29, 2015

VIDEO: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/blog/

On the color video from a security camera, two masked women and two men slam a crowbar into a pharmacy safe filled with narcotics in a failed attempt to open it. A woman then smashes a cash register loaded with money. The four, with the help of others, haul what owners say is tens of thousands of dollars in drugs, computers — and an entire ATM — from the Care One on Reisterstown Road amid the rioting that followed Freddie Gray’s funeral.

A mile away at the Care One on Pennsylvania Avenue, security cameras recorded more chaos: looters carrying away a 300-pound safe filled with oxycodone, Percocet and other powerful narcotics, owners say.

Now, more than a month after the incidents on April 27, owners of those pharmacies and others in West Baltimore say police have not responded to their numerous requests to report the missing drugs. They’re frustrated that police have not reviewed footage from dozens of store security cameras or even examined a cellphone left amid the destruction — evidence.

“Free Mumia!”

“Kill cracker babies!”

Holder endorsed the New Black Pampers’ violation of the civil rights of white people, so why not?
