Baltimore mayor fires police chief after sharp rise in violence
By Associated Press
BALTIMORE — Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said Wednesday that she has fired Police Commissioner Anthony Batts, 2½ months after riots broke out in the city following the death of a man who was injured in police custody. Rawlings-Blake announced her decision in a three-paragraph news release that also noted she has named Deputy Police Commissioner Kevin Davis as interim commissioner. The mayor scheduled a news conference with Davis for later Wednesday afternoon. Rawlings did not give a reason, but the move comes amid a spike in the city’s homicide rate.

The Mayorette should fire herself.
She really is a clueless hack, isn’t she? God, the people of Baltimore must have rocks for brains to elect someone like her.
Wuld that not be grounds for a lawsuit?
Plenty of evidence of her obstructing him.
As if this is going to solve the problems she helped create. Stupid is as stupid does.
Is this the same Baltimore mayor who wanted to give the Freddie Grey rioters “space to destroy.”
This reminds me of the Roman practice of decimation.
“The beatings (firings) will continue until morale improves.”
“Just giving them room to destroy” PING
I hope he sues little Ms give-them-space-to-destroy until there’s no more money left in her city war chest...
Sharp rise in crime, due to THE MAYOR telling her lawmen “Space must be provided for those who wish to destroy”.’Does she think the public has forgotten her bizarre statement?
Cause and effect, Mayor, cause and effect.
Maybe the beeach don’t like the boy. He be sassy or whut?
And we’ve all read about how well that worked out for the Romans-that mayor has apparently never read any history of Rome...
I’ll bet she cannot find Rome on a map.
If you ask her anything about Roman history she will respond with only a glazed look.
they wanted hamsterdam, they got hamsterdam. now they complaining when Omar coming?
I guess that the anti-Catholic bigot mayor of Baltimore told Batts (probably the brother of Billy Batts from Goodfellas) to go home and get your shine box.
They should just shoot each other then it’s another black on black crime no one cares about.
“The beatings (firings) will continue until morale improves.”
Ding,Ding,Ding! We have a winner!
I knew it wouldn’t be long before they began eating each other.
“This reminds me of the Roman practice of decimation.
“The beatings (firings) will continue until morale improves”
Nailed It!
They are starting to eat their own.
