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.”

We should do a trade swap out the American born thugs to Africa and give some grateful and appreciative Africans the opportunity to replace them. No muzzies allowed in however.

But the Pentagon is trying to keep the blood from reaching their doorstep.

It's called CYA.

As a platoon leader, my superiors told me everything my unit did, or failed to do, was my responsibility...no excuses! Funding, or lack thereof, for maintenance and training was not my concern. My leadership ability would overcome that.

Now I see generals and admirals blaming lack of funding for their problems. What about their leadership?

Once I figured out the gig (after a few months), I told my bosses, "since my neck is on the line, stay out of my way and let me do my job!" I turned into a real PITA the rest of my tour in Germany.

I had superiors (up to one-star) that liked that attitude, and some that didn't. Naturally, that was reflected in my efficiency reports...lol.

"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."

I don't think Annapolis has enough yachts and YP boats to get everyone enough time at the wheel to acquire any skill. Mostly landlubbers admitted too.

Oh, too funny. The bitch who said blacks could riot to their heart’s content is now worried about crime. Democrats are so stupid.

Why celebrate MLK Day and remember his greatness when his words go unheeded. He preached that character is far more important than skin color yet it’s become the exact reverse in reality in today’s mindset of his admirers.

““She needs to fire her residents”

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

They would F up Haiti or Africa for that matter.

"You have to understand their thinking and sense of entitlement. They literally think that they should not have to do ANYTHING- including picking up after themselves. There is always someone else that does things/takes care of them. They collect government checks and breed. That is their whole life. They would rather live in filth than to lower themselves to clean up."

in Africa, its the women who do everything...cooking, working the fields, carry the water....

its a long tradition for the men to sit around and do nothing.....

“Why do these people wallow in filth?”

The obvious answer is, they don’t mind, it’s not a priority.

“Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.”

How come liberal Scandinavia has always had very low crime (until the recent invasion).

By blaming liberalism only you’re missing the elephant in the room.

In America neither the men nor women do anything.

This is like an arsonist complaining that the fire she lit is now out of control and then appointing a lawyer to handle the blaze - and giving him a 3 foot long garden hose and instructing him that he may not get within 19 feet of the fire itself.

A long analogy, but sort of accurate.
