BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore’s mayor is asking for help from the FBI as the city struggles to contain a soaring murder rate. But will bringing in the feds stop the killings?

Catherine Pugh pulled no punches earlier this week when she said the violence is out of control.

“I’m calling on all the assistance we can possibly get because I can’t imagine going into our summer months with our crime rate where it is today, what that’s going to look like by the end of the summer,” Mayor Pugh said. “… Murder is out of control.”

This is rich. Just last week, I forget who, I think it was the states atty told the courts to hold off on prosecuting illegals.

Wonder how many illegals are committing these murders? Didn't this city beg for obamalaw and get it? How is that working out for ya?

giggle snort.

Hey, I thought these people needed space to destroy.

They certainly do not need my taxpayer dollars to flush their broken down sewer system.

[I want the USA back]

You did nothing to the ones who tore apart your city. No surprise that street savages would see that as permission to tear the city apart again.

Lady, this is your hero, Obama’s legacy your tampering with. He was an expert in everything, you know.

From the Washington Times (03/27) - "Homeland Security added dozens of jurisdictions to its latest name-and-shame list of sanctuary cities, released Wednesday, including Baltimore, where the police commissioner has said officers would not work with federal agents to enforce immigration laws."

Obama’s war against the police is going according to plan. I hope the FBI stays out of it, because federalizing the local police is what the crooked politicians have wanted all along.

Any city that shat on its police force can expect the result. Between BHO siding with the lawless in just about every case, coupled with the Ferguson effect urban areas are in a serious and compromised political bind. There are ways out of this dilemma but certain civil liberties would have to be changed.

Obama’s rich legacy, add this to he and Susan Rice’s neglect of the N. Korea situation and he should be proud how much trouble he is causing.

This is a new mayor, not much like the old cow whose best decision as an elected official was not to seek re-election.

[ColdOne]

LOL! Good post! I remember that her saying that. They did need space, let them have it.

[Palio di Siena]

Cathy Pugh is not the “space to destroy” mayor.
She left a rather cushy gig as a state senator for the mayor gig.
She may do some good.

[NormsRevenge]

Think of it as your chickens coming home to roost, Catherine.

Isn’t this the city with a DA who is going easier on Illegal Alien criminals than she does on US Citizens so they can avoid deportation?

Maybe if the FBI started by arresting the city government?

Unlikely.

They just want to bring the feds in so they can pin the "racism" label on DJT at the first opportunity.

And since about 95% of the perps in Baltimore are A-A, that opportunity will arise dozens of times a day.

Meaning that the chance of something that can be turned into "Trump's a Racist Bent on Genocide Against The Black Man" will happen is essentially 100%, probably within the first 30 days.

That's exactly what the Democrats want.

I should think that the Maryland State Police would be the next level to appeal to as a "higher power," which liberals are always looking to when things don't go as they planned.

As long as that higher power isn't Too High.

This is simple, the city and state have no more money to pay alleged police abuse victims. So let’s invite the federal government in and then sue them for the pay day!
