Baltimore’s new deputy police commissioner gets mugged at gunpoint

You’re not in Louisiana anymore.

A new deputy police commissioner in Baltimore got a firsthand lesson in the city’s crime problems — getting robbed at gunpoint while out with his wife, according to reports.

Deputy Commissioner Daniel Murphy had only started with the force in April after being brought in from New Orleans to help lead sweeping reforms, according to the Baltimore Sun.

He was robbed at 9 p.m. Friday by four men in a white SUV near Patterson Park, according to the Sun.

Two of the men, said to be about 18, jumped out and approached Murphy and his wife, showing a gun during the holdup, police said in a release.

They fled with multiple cellphones, the officer’s wallet and his wife’s purse as well as some cash, the reports state. No one was injured, police say.

Murphy was one of the first top deputies hired earlier this year by new Commissioner Michael Harrison after they worked together in New Orleans, according to the Sun.

He was sure that Baltimore would be like the Big Easy, he told the paper after starting his new gig in April.

“Obviously, every community, every police department is unique, but the success we had in New Orleans is directly transferable to here and we will modify it as necessary,” he said.

Jeez! Didn’t these thugs know guns are illegal in Baltimore... as is holding up people?

Thank goodness the cops have a good description of the perpetrators - er, of the vehicle!

I know nothing about him, other than what I just read.

In what way was he involved with destroying art?

The article makes the point that the public should be on the lookout for four men in a white SUV. Were the alleged robbers white as well as the SUV? This article doesn’t say.

In Baltimore, that’s definitely a diversity hire.

They were able to identify the color of the SUV, but not the “teens”.

The robbery came just a month after the department launched a new “crime reduction strategy” that it said would “reduce the victimization and fear of victimization of violent crime in Baltimore City.”

There have been 185 homicides in the city so far this year, with 166 from shootings, according to the Sun, with only St. Louis having more murders per 100,000 people, according to a Pew Research Center study based on 2017 figures.

Amen.

He had better exercise a lot more caution on the streets of Baltimore.

“This guy looks out of his depth.

Like a lamb to the slaughter.”

This is not a very productive way to welcome a newly minted conservative.

For many, I’d guess this to be a life-changing event.

"He's going to get eaten alive in Baltimore."

I'm sure he has an excellent degree in something from a major University - even Ivy League, maybe. Very good grades....

The black community is MORE violent and criminal than ANY OTHER ethnic community in the United States.

Democrats demand you NOT 'notice'...

He was part of the city government that destroyed art.

Maybe it can be argued “he was just following orders.”
