Few cities illustrate the unhappy relationship between broken policing and violent crime better than Baltimore.
Marine veteran Lloyd Muldrow rescued his friend by disarming an attacker. Ungrateful Baltimore police filed gun charges against Muldrow, even though he notified the officers he was carrying, he was legally licensed in Virginia, and he did not use the firearm in subduing the attacker.
Marine veteran Lloyd Muldrow rescued his friend by disarming an attacker. Ungrateful Baltimore police filed gun charges against Muldrow, even though he notified the officers he was carrying, he was legally licensed in Virginia, and he did not use the firearm in subduing the attacker.
“After Marine veteran makes rescue, Baltimore police file gun charges against him,” Fox News reports. “Muldrow remembered his training, leaping into action to rescue a friend and disarm an attacker. Muldrow now faces possible jail time for possession of a gun for which he has a concealed-carry permit to carry in Virginia. He could also lose his clearance to maintain a job providing security to federal facilities.”
On top of that, we find “Muldrow… didn’t use his sidearm in the rescue.”
What in the world? So, how did the police know?
