Baltimore Police Deputy Commissioner Robbed at Gunpoint

Baltimore Police Deputy Commissioner, Danny Murphy, was robbed at gunpoint in the city’s southeast area on Friday night. Reports state that the incident occurred at 9:30 p.m. while Murphy was with his wife in the 2200 Block of E. Pratt.

The report comes after Baltimore city officials and federal officials announced the launch of a National Public Safety Partnership on July 16 as part of a push to cut down on violent crime in the area.

...

Maryland banned ‘high capacity’ magazines and a variety of ‘assault weapons’ via the Firearm Safety Act of 2013. That Act also required would-be handgun buyers to submit fingerprints to the state police as a part of the registration scenario,” ...

In 2018, data from the FBI showed that the city of Baltimore had the worst murder rate of all large U.S. cities in 2017

...

Chicago gets a lot of press for its high murder rate and the city did, indeed, have far more murders than Baltimore in 2017. But Chicago is also far larger than Baltimore (about 3 million for Chicago versus 615,000 for Baltimore), so on a per capita basis, Maryland’s largest metropolis was far more dangerous for its citizens than even the blood-soaked Windy City

...

Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis sharply criticized Baltimore’s city officials by stating he would not comply if Maryland lawmakers passed a bill regarding long gun licensing and confiscation.

“Law-abiding citizens are repeatedly being penalized because of Baltimore City’s inability to control their crime. And I’m sorry — I’m not someone’s puppet,” Lewis said.

“We’re gonna let them know that we are sick and tired of being penalized for Baltimore City’s inability to control crime. If these bills pass, we will not comply,”

That’s not an excerpt; that the entire story. So, what happened?? Geez, Breitbart, you’re kind of slacking off on details.

(CNN) — A Baltimore deputy police commissioner was robbed at gunpoint, the police department said Saturday.

Deputy Commissioner Daniel Murphy and his wife were walking Friday night near Patterson Park when a white SUV with four people in it approached them, the department said in a statement emailed to CNN. Two black men, believed to be about 18 years old, got out of the SUV and approached Murphy and his wife, the department said.

“A handgun was displayed and the suspects announced the robbery by demanding their property,” the statement said. A purse, wallet, cash and cellphones were subsequently taken.

No one was injured during the robbery, which is under investigation, police said.

What was the police-response time? Did it break the 20-minute barrier?

I wish they would all be mugged. Maybe some of these holier-than-thou liberals running these cities (into the ground) would get a dose of reality and actually do something useful.
