BALTIMORE (WJZ)–How did a wanted man (click here) with a violent past get a gun into Baltimore’s southwest police district? The man committed suicide just one room away from officers.
Christie Ileto has the latest on the security questions being raised.
Undetected and unobserved. A suspect was taken into custody and able to cloak a high-caliber gun into a police station before allegedly fatally shooting himself inside.
“I heard, like, a big book and I just thought it was anything,” said resident Damontre McLeod.
But the pillar of safety became a crime scene Tuesday....
This is more or less the same stuff witnessed across the country where a suspect in custody with hands cuffed behind his back took a police gun away from the officer and shot himself. How long is this line of secrecy going to continue in this country?
Police killing unarmed citizens are not part of the public contract or public trust. Police culture is not only sick, it is blatantly dangerous and deadly.
The reason this police culture is tolerated is because there is no choice. The police strong arm the governing councils along with unions that protect these dangerous members.
There always is the National Guard. I have less problem with the language of the Guard since that is the vocabulary of the military. They have been a valuable addition to a city that cannot discern who the enemy sincerely is.
