Baltimore Police commissioner Kevin Davis fired by Mayor Pugh, citing rising crime
Baltimore Sun ^ | 1/20/2018 | Kevin Rector

Mayor Catherine Pugh fired Baltimore’s top cop Friday, saying she had grown “impatient” with Commissioner Kevin Davis’ inability to stem the historic pace of killings in the city now stretching into a third year.

She named Deputy Commissioner Darryl D. De Sousa, the top commander in the Police Department’s patrol bureau, as Davis’ replacement, effective immediately, and said she would ask the City Council to make the appointment permanent.

“Crime is now spilling out all over the city, and we’ve got to focus,” Pugh said. “I am charging [De Sousa] and his staff to get on top of it to reduce the numbers and to reduce them quickly.”

OK, so you fired the existing top cop and added another liberal black to the roster. How is that going to change the REAL problem?? Build a lot of prisons. Baltimore is still a liberal pile of excrement. How many times have we seen this token action??

Isn’t Baltimore one of those cities that openly hated Cops and wanted nothing to do with them? They didn’t want police in ‘their’ neighborhoods. Some residents ‘understood’ why people would try to hurt an officer sitting in his marked car. With such attitudes, any policeman, any human being is going to pull back. If you don’t want us there, we won’t be there except at direct requests. Happy now?

“She needs to fire her residents”

Good one. She could always give them free passage to Haiti but Haiti doesn’t want them.

“The Wire” was prescient by portraying this event as it as come to pass.

Like Haiti, Baltimore is a you know what, a Democrat you know what

Well, obviously, another police “stand down” is needed.

Also, I see the new police commissioner is African American. That alone should solve the problem immediately.

I seriously cannot comprehend why people choose to live in filth like this. You can’t blame it on “being poor”. Garbage collection is everywhere and free. Plastic bags cost almost nothing. Why do these people wallow in filth?

They reduced the number of cops and they let the criminals out of jail. What did they think would happen?

If she wants to make a dent in the crime rate, appoint former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke as Police Commissioner.

This is a little bit like the US Navy failing to adequately train their line officers in proper navigation and when the inevitable collisions happen they start firing the officers and charging the captains with Negligent Homicide.

Before anybody jumps my case on this... The captains are responsible, it’s naval tradition as well as law. But the Pentagon is trying to keep the blood from reaching their doorstep.

... And don’t forget the “civilian review board” so we can maintain a Reign of Terror over the the beat cops and their supervisors.

Lack of fathers and being taught right and wrong.

Extensive training?? That's way too expensive, let them learn on the job, they'll figure it out../sarc off

These people need to be committed to a rubber room for what they have done and continue to do to cities like Baltimore. Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.
