After an Independence Day arrest, Muldrow is schedule to have a jury trial on Halloween, in Baltimore Circuit Court on Oct. 31.
Muldrow, 57, a resident of Virginia Beach, didn’t use his sidearm in the rescue. But when Baltimore police arrived to arrest the attacker, they also arrested Muldrow on the charges of possession of a gun within 100 feet of a public building and carrying a concealed weapon.

Baltimore needs to start piss testing their fuzz.
I used to somewhat respect cops...f them all they’re just instruments of an increasingly woke state.
In other words, these operatives are themselves terrorists.
Solzhenitsyn: “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"
The police failed to do their job, so they arrested the fellow who did it for them.
Cops and DAs are the enemy.
Jury trial - he might have a chance, even in Baltimore
His real crime? Trying to save lives. Obstructing the great culling is now illegal.
Killers walk free in Baltimore, but law abiding citizens face prosecution. I wish him luck.
“The police failed to do their job, so they arrested the fellow who did it for them.”
Their job is to assist in the great culling. He obstructed the culling.

Maybe 10 years ago I went to a talk given by an NRA lawyer. Among other things, he said if you a transporting a firearm, stay out of the big three: Baltimore, New York City, and Washington DC.
Let’s say that you are following all federal, state, and local laws perfectly. If the cops in any of those places find your gun, they will arrest you for a weapons violation anyway. You’ll win in court.
But in the meantime you’ll lose time and money. And you’ll be spending at least a few quality hours in a cell with some of the friendly local thugs.
Notice that this lawyer said that the cops will arrest you. He wasn’t putting the blame on corrupt DAs or on corrupt judges. It was all on the cops.
The real problem is further up the ladder.
The politicians who passed the laws they require the police to enforce.
“I used to somewhat respect cops...”
When I respected cops, it was a different time, and they were different cops. The time has moved on and those cops have retired. The new cops are a different breed.
“Notice that this lawyer said that the cops will arrest you. He wasn’t putting the blame on corrupt DAs or on corrupt judges. It was all on the cops.”
Because it all starts with the initial interaction, detention, and “at the officer’s discretion”.
It is up to the officer at the interaction and scene to make a righteous decision or not.
The officer doesn’t interpret the law.
The officer enforces the law.
He may not agree with the law, but that will have to be
sorted out in court.
If we don’t want things like this to happen, we have to
elect decent people and make sure guys like this are
covered in instances like this. If they aren’t, this
happens.
It is not the officer’s fault. If he is caught on tape
seeing this guy with a gun that was not compliant with
the law, then he could be fired for not doing his job.
If we’re talking about life and death, then sure the
officer should make a decision if he can go along with
an action that could prove fatal.
This isn’t that type of a situation.
Exactly, thank you for the reminder. Criticizing all cops for enforcing the law, however wrong, isn't fair.
99% of the whole process and following process is “at the officers discretion” during the first interaction. This is when Constitutional rights or “discretion” is to be applied. Anything other is just “arrest them all and throw it in the courts”.
What you share is that officers are just mindless zombies who act and follow orders without any intelligent thought or personal discretion like the military against an enemy on the battlefield. And you just might be right considering all the current observations.
Which brings up a related curiosity... I just saw a headline here about how officers shot into a bar crowd and hit six innocent bystanders. Now I can’t find it. Was it removed I wonder?
The officer cannot by law ignore a crime. If he sees it, he
can’t just say, “Oh, it’s such a nice day out, I’ll just
chalk this up to discretion and let this guy go.” Why?
Because then he’d never be able to charge another person
with the same crime. Pretty soon you have an officer that
can’t bring charges against anyone.
Any defense attorney finding video out there of the officer
not charging someone, would let his client off if the same
officer charged him.
Good luck with that.
Thanks PROCON.
