Baltimore Police Chief Anthony Batts has proclaimed that pharmacy looting is to blame for the spike in violent crime: (video)

To combat the problem the Baltimore Police announced a collaborative effort with the DEA to track down the looters who robbed the pharmacies. The DEA is asking for the Public’s help in identifying looters who broke into Pharmacies around Baltimore during the riots.  Rewards up to $2,000 available.

(WBAL TV) There were 27 pharmacies and two methadone clinics hit hard by looters during the riots. Maryland DEA head Gary Tuggle said they’re going after the people responsible.
“We are trying to identify 70 people. These photos were taken in the pharmacies and/or outside. We are developing still shots from videos and seeking to identify people,” Tuggle said.
The DEA gave 11 News pictures for nine people caught on video. The caption on the pictures reads: Recognize anyone? (link)

The authorities are trying to identify people we have already identified.

Several media outlets have noted a press conference given today by Baltimore Police Chief Anthony Batts where he asked for “federal agents”, and “federal prosecutors” to assist Baltimore with the skyrocketing violence and murders.

[…]  In a press conference Wednesday, flanked by representatives of multiple state and federal agencies, Batts said he is asking for federal prosecutors and agents to help, calling the renewed effort an “all hands on deck.”
Batts’ comments follow unrest in the city of Baltimore after the April 19 death of Freddie Gray, and the indictment of six Baltimore police officers involved. Since then, local prosecutors and Batts have come under fire by the police officers’ labor union, and theres been suspicion the rise in crime may be linked to a work “slowdown” organized by police officers.

The short version is Chief Batts admitting he’s lost control.  Ironic considering how quickly the police chief and mayor wanted the national guard to withdraw.  (more…)

Head’s up, we’ve seen this play before.  Corrupt and lying State Attorney, Angela Corey, did the exact same thing in the Zimmerman trial in order to keep the public from seeing how a fraudulent prosecution is constructed.
However, this latest manuever by Marilyn Mosby, as reported today in the Baltimore Sun, is Supernova levels beyond Hypocritical.
Can you imagine the outrage within the “Black Lives Matter” community if Saint Louis prosecutor, Robert McColloch blocked the autopsy release of Mike Brown? Think about it.
Via the Baltimore Sun:

Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby plans to seek a protective order blocking the release of Freddie Gray’s autopsy and other “sensitive” documents as she pursues charges against six police officers involved in his arrest..
Mosby discussed that intention in a court filing Monday, in which she also asked the court for more time to respond to defense motions that she and her office be removed from the case and that the case be tried outside of Baltimore.
Mosby’s office has also sought a gag order, which would prevent those involved in the case from discussing it in public, and broken with tradition by not providing the autopsy report to Baltimore Police. (read more)

Marilyn Mosby’s approach is further evidence of something we have previously outlined.
Our research indicated that Marilyn Mosby pressured the Baltimore Medical Examiner, David Fowler, to change the cause of death from “accidental” to “homicide”. In addition, we described how that same medical examiner built a self-detonating ‘red flag’ into the report by specifically writing in his opinion “the fatal injury occurred inside the van“.

Here’s an interesting little snippet buried in the data:

[…]  During April’s riots, thousands of dollars in narcotics and other drugs were stolen from more than 20 Baltimore pharmacies. Twenty-seven pharmacies reported damage during the unrest.

BALTIMORE – With three men killed in eastside shootings on Sunday, Baltimore recorded its deadliest month in more than 40 years..

The 43 killings in May surpassed the 42 homicides the city saw in August 1990, and left Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake defending police and her administration.
Speaking at a morning ceremony to honor McKenzie Elliott, the 3-year-old killed by a stray bullet in August, Rawlings-Blake said it’s time to stop finger-pointing and assigning blame for the recent violence.
The killing of African-Americans in Baltimore has to stop, she said, noting that 189 of the 208 killed last year were black men. For the city to improve, all homicides need to drop, she added.
“We have to do better,” the mayor said. “We have to want more.” (more…)

Actions have consequences; and there’s still another day left to close out the month….

BALTIMORE – Baltimore Police announced May’s 40th homicide victim Saturday, making it the city’s deadliest month in a quarter of a century.

Justin Mensuphu-Bey, 23 — who also went by Justin Bey, according to court records — was fatally shot in the 1100 block of Washington Boulevard in Pigtown Friday night, police said. The last time the city had 40 homicides in a month was August 1990, when the city had 42 and its population was significantly larger. So far, 2015 has seen 113 homicides. (more…)

Chuck Ross at the Daily Caller followed up with the Baltimore State Attorney’s Office to see if they are continuing the Dindu Nuffin claim, they are:

The Daily Caller – Despite growing skepticism that her personal Twitter account was hacked by someone who randomly “favorited” two controversial tweets, the office of Baltimore City state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby is sticking to its story.
“She said she did not favorite those, so she took the necessary measures to make sure her account is secure,” Mosby spokeswoman Rochelle Ritchie told The Daily Caller on Friday. (more…)

Ya gotta love Rush Limbaugh […] “Now, Marilyn Mosby, this is a Daily Caller story: “The office of Baltimore City state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby is claiming that her personal Twitter account was hacked and that she did not ‘favorite’ a racially-charged tweet and another one calling the six Baltimore cops charged in the Freddie Gray case ‘thugs.’ She says she was hacked. 
Just like Anthony Weiner’s Twitter account was hacked.  Hmm. 
See, what happened is that Megyn Kelly of the Fox News Channel — there they are again — did a big story — I forget the source.  It was Conservative Tree, Conservative Grow A Tree, Conservative Tree Union,  forget the name of the website, a conservative site with “tree” in it.  I just don’t remember.  But they prepared a blistering report on the incompetence of Marilyn Mosby, and Megyn Kelly used it on Fox either last night or the night before, and this caused all kinds of reaction of an unkind nature to Marilyn Mosby.

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake did not like the challenging questions from Fox News in her presser regarding the severe increase in homicides and shootings – cast against the backdrop of fewer arrests by law enforcement who feel under attack from city leadership.

A scathing expose’ by Megyn Kelly today, outlining much of our research on activist Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby, leads to Team Mosby claiming a “twitter hacking” and blocking visibility of Mosby’s earlier prejudicial video statements.
First the Megyn Kelly segment (first 7 minutes):

The video used in the segment was first shared here on May 4th, and highlights a speech Mosby gave at a Multicultural Prayer Movement.  The research thread was part one of a three part series outlining ‘Why Mosby Should Be Recused’.  Part II and III HERE
As soon as the Kelly File segment aired, that video was shut down and has now been made private.  However, Chuck Ross at the Daily Caller had already picked up the speech outline several weeks ago and copied the Mosby segment.  (available here)
In addition, the Controversial Social Media postings originally brought to our attention by Froggie and again shared by the Daily Caller earlier today were claimed to be “hacked”.
The Anthony Weiner defense: (more…)

The Baltimore Sun is reporting today that attorneys for the Baltimore Six police officers have file a motion for a change of venue.

[…]  In the 85-page motion, the lawyers representing officers Caesar Goodson, Edward Nero, Garrett Miller, Brian Rice, Alicia White and William Porter outlined a “presumption of prejudice” they say exists in the city that necessitates moving the trial.
[…]  “Any effort through the voir dire process to seat six fair and impartial juries for these Baltimore City Police Officer would be futile given the fact that the events surrounding this case have impacted every citizen of Baltimore,” the attorneys wrote. (link)
