Maryland Governor Wes Moore and Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott, both leaning left on the political spectrum, announced late last week that additional law enforcement resources will be deployed to support the crumbling Baltimore City Police force, which is suffering from a dangerous officer shortage after years of disastrous criminal justice reforms, including “defund the police” initiatives and other progressive programs that have backfired.
At a joint press conference on Friday, Mayor Scott declared, “We do not need an occupation. We do not need troops on our streets,” adding, “We can do this ourselves.”
The state plans to deploy Maryland State Police and Transportation Authority officers into high-risk “no-go” zones controlled by violent gangs that have been allowed to flourish under City Hall’s progressive regime, leaving the city plagued by violent crime, which only sparked a population exodus.
What’s alarming is that Gov. Moore and Mayor Scott only moved to bolster the city’s police force after President Trump’s recent threat to deploy federal law enforcement to restore law and order.
Years of violent crime chaos, but no action? Why is that?
He says he wants to work with everyone, then trashes Trump. Really??
wes moore is avoiding a Trump confrontation, that’s why. He is no match for Trump and he knows it.
Wes Moore wouldn’t dare have a face to face confrontation with President Trump.
