TODD: Rick Moran writing in PJ Media notes that Baltimore, Maryland, will no longer prosecute drug possession, prostitution, and other, quote, “low-level crimes.” If you\u2019re a cop, you know that those are low-level dealers and traffickers, that you know that there are upper-level cartels on top of this. You know about the human trafficking. You know that that is Big Business.<\/p>\n

Look, I recognize Larry Hogan, the governor of Maryland, is an anti-Trump liberal Republican. I happen to be a little bit, I guess, emotional in that I count the lieutenant governor, Boyd Rutherford, as a friend of mine and I count him as a moral man. I think that they\u2019ve tried, on a statewide basis, to approach heroin addiction and dealing, and yet Baltimore — Baltimore — is deciding to be lawless.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019ve observed lawlessness as those of us in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Louisville sometimes — if you\u2019ve ever seen lawlessness and you\u2019ve seen little no-go zones where you would never let someone you love go into a neighborhood — then you know the results of this. This isn\u2019t low level. This is one by high level people.<\/p>\n

And Rush had his finger on Baltimore\u2019s post — or pulse of Baltimore six years ago during the Freddie Gray case, and the dynamics that Rush is gonna discuss here are tearing to the ground cities like Louisville, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Seattle, Portland, and Oakland.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: All hell is breaking loose in Baltimore again. And Marilyn Mosby, the state\u2019s attorney, the mayor, it\u2019s an absolute mess. Crime is just out of control, running rampant. The cops are sitting idly by, not doing anything, which is what the administration wants them to do. The cops, starting in Ferguson — well, started before the modern era of Ferguson, the cops, everybody\u2019s been told the cops are the reason all this crime is happening \u2019cause there really isn\u2019t any crime.<\/p>\n

\"\"The people of Baltimore are peace-loving people, don\u2019t commit crimes. It\u2019s just the cops make \u2019em do all this. The cops are provoking all this stuff. So the Regime gets hold of the cops, pulls \u2019em back, new guidelines. Six cops indicted, arrested, various degrees of murder and manslaughter. The city is supposed to say, “See, we\u2019re looking out for you, we got the bad cops off the street.”<\/p>\n

And ever since that happened, there\u2019s utter, out-of-control crime and mayhem in Baltimore. And the cops aren\u2019t involved. The cops have been pulled out of the way, out of sight. Who\u2019s benefiting from this? Who\u2019s benefiting from street anarchy in Baltimore? Who\u2019s benefiting from the residents being fearful? Who\u2019s benefiting from a rash of homicides that are going unreported?<\/p>\n

Who benefits when the cops have been eviscerated, disemboweled, and basically ordered out? Who benefits from all this? Somebody is or it wouldn\u2019t be happening, folks. Somebody is benefiting from this, otherwise it wouldn\u2019t be happening.<\/p>\n

Now, common sense tells us — common sense and just a modicum of desire for civilization, basic civilization, basic sophistication — would tell you that whatever it takes to stop this, move in and stop it. This isn\u2019t helpful to anybody.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not supposed to talk about this stuff. Somebody\u2019s benefiting from this. Now, you may think, “Rush, who in the world…?” That\u2019s my question. But somebody is or it wouldn\u2019t be happening. This has been going on in Baltimore like this ever since those six cops were indicted. That was supposed to stop this.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only gotten worse. It\u2019s only gotten more intense. (interruption) That\u2019s who you think is benefiting? (interruption) The White House could stop it? Obama? What can he do, fly down there and have a meeting? (interruption) Of course not! He doesn\u2019t go to these kind of neighborhoods. He wouldn\u2019t be caught — he wouldn\u2019t be seen going there.<\/p>\n

This is an abject failure of what Obama and the Democrat Party say they stand for. They\u2019re not gonna get anywhere near it. Yet they might be the primary benefactors in this. Now, don\u2019t shake your head at that. What are people gonna demand? They\u2019re gonna demand what? More federal control over it.<\/p>\n

The more it\u2019s made to look like local officials are a bunch of idiots and incompetents and can\u2019t handle it. You basically beg the federal government to come in and fix a problem you can\u2019t deal with, primarily \u2019cause the federal government\u2019s been the one that\u2019s presented you with the problem in the first place.<\/p>\n

Which they have with these new silly guidelines on the behavior of cops and the structure of cops, the overall perception of cops. If you\u2019re gonna sit there and you\u2019re gonna take rampant city crime and you\u2019re gonna literally seriously blame the police departments across America for it, where do you go from there? If the police departments are for it and in the process you say, “Okay, let\u2019s pull the cops back.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So they\u2019re not seen because we\u2019re told that the cops in uniform, “That\u2019s provocative, that\u2019s like declaring war. You gotta get the cops out of these people\u2019s eyesight. You get the cops out of there and they\u2019ll be nicer and they won\u2019t care and they won\u2019t be provocative. They won\u2019t be violent.” That\u2019s what Baltimore did and look what happens. Exact opposite.<\/p>\n

Arrests are down 50% while crime is running rampant. And the reason the arrests are down is because the cops have been portrayed as the problem there, from Obama on down. From Eric Holder on down. From Loretta Lynch on down. From the ASA, the SA, the mayor. They\u2019re all blaming the cops. Ferguson, Missouri, they blame the cops.<\/p>\n

Arrests are down 50%. Cops have gotten out of the way. Now crime, murder, rampant gunfire is up across the board. Arrests are down 50%. The cops have been blamed by the DOJ, by the state\u2019s attorney, Mosby, by the mayor, by Al Sharpton, by the media, by everybody who commented. The cops were said to be to blame, and so the police commissioner there has been told by the Department of Justice, “You gotta pull back because it\u2019s your presence that\u2019s the problem.”<\/p>\n

The cops have pulled back. The unrest continues, and it become more intense, and it increases in volume. The cops do show up now and then. They don\u2019t answer every call now. Arrests are obviously 50% down. But even when the cops show up, they\u2019re not looked<\/p>\n

at as a positive sign, they\u2019re not looked at as a positive step to stop it. The cops show up, even now, and they are sounded by citizens. They\u2019re sounded by a mob videotaping them with their phones, hoping to get them on tape doing something that they can accuse them of police brutality or whatever.<\/p>\n

Just like if the private sector can\u2019t do health care right, then we must. We must move in with Obamacare in the name of fairness and equality and take it over. And, “If local cops actually can\u2019t do the job anymore, somebody has to,” Obama will say. And why not us? Why not the federal government? Everybody loves the federal government.<\/p>\n

Everybody trusts the federal government. Everybody turns to the federal government. So why not turn to the federal government for community policing? And then we get our own national police force without a coup. I\u2019m just thinking here. Obama has already got 25 police departments under the thumb of the federal government. Cleveland is the most recent.<\/p>\n

It was it was during the campaign of 2008 now, I remember, that Obama proposed a civilian security force, and he compared it to a national version of the military. He pointed out that we can\u2019t use the military for local police forces, but maybe we should create a civilian security force.<\/p>\n

He was talking about a national federal police force. He didn\u2019t use that terminology \u2019cause people would have revolted at that but he\u2019s thinking maybe not. The way they\u2019re going about it is they\u2019re taking over via these consent decrees from the DOJ. It\u2019s basically blackmail. “You want money from the government to help run your police department?<\/p>\n

\"\"Well, you gotta accept our guidelines on how you\u2019re gonna do your jobs,” and they\u2019re all accepting, because they\u2019re being forced. St. Louis, Ferguson, Baltimore, Cleveland is the latest, Oakland, Newark. I mean, there\u2019s 25 of them now that are actually have been taken over by guidelines from the DOJ to run these local police departments. I find it just all happening right there in front of our faces.<\/p>\n

TODD: That was Rush in the Obama era, and what he\u2019s talking about now you can play to the massive mass murder at the school in Florida, that Federal Rules punished schools for putting guys like that killer into the system — 40-some visits to the home — and he went and did what he did. He took all those lives, and they\u2019re gonna blame the guns.<\/p>\n

This 13- and 15-year-old girl carjacked an Asian-American, a Pakistani-American; CNN pretends it\u2019s accidental that he\u2019s killed, and these girls… When this man dying on the street because they carjacked him and caused an accident, one of the girls is concerned about her cell phone because they\u2019ve been taught:<\/p>\n

“Take what you want, because it\u2019s being taken from you.” When you are weak when you should be firm, you\u2019ll eventually cruel when you should be kind, or you will watch cruelty. That\u2019s what\u2019s happening in the cities, and the Democrat politicians graduating the results they want or they will change their approaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
