Black Guerrilla Family gang sends armed man to ‘test security’ at Baltimore police station
The Washington Times ^ | 1/6/2015

Posted on 01/07/2015 8:55:06 AM PST by Altura Ct.

A member of the Black Guerrilla Family (BGF) gang, armed with a loaded .22 caliber handgun, walked into a Baltimore police station on Tuesday in order to test its security, police said.

Baltimore police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts said the 29-year-old man walked into the Northeastern District station “fully armed and loaded with drugs on him,” The Baltimore Sun reported.

“An organized gang in the city of Baltimore sent an armed suspect into our building to see our security, to test our security. That is alarming to us, to me. I am going to send a message that we are not going to cower, we’re not going to back down,” Mr. Batts said.

Police said the man was enlisted by BGF to test police security for allegedly betraying the gang in the past.

“He did not go in there on his free will. This person had very little option, according to his statement, which lends credibility to what a dire situation this was,” Deputy Police Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez said.

The police commissioner is ordering security changes throughout the department. Security has also been enhanced in neighboring Baltimore County, a local NBC affiliate reported.

“The Baltimore County Police Department has received information about an incident at the Baltimore City Police Northeast District Station this morning,” Cpl. John Wachter said in a statement.

And the response will be to strip search everybody entering a police station nation wide.

The Black Guerilla Family (also known as the Black Family or the Black Vanguard) is a prison and street gang founded in 1966 by George Jackson and W.L. Nolen while they were incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison in Marin County, California, north of San Francisco.

Philosophy and goals
Inspired by Marcus Garvey, the Black Guerilla Family was characterized as an ideological African-American Marxist revolutionary organization composed of prisoners. It was founded with the stated goals of eradicating racism, maintaining dignity in prison, and overthrowing the United States government.

Allies and rivals
BGF was associated with a number of leftist groups, including the Black Liberation Army, Symbionese Liberation Army, and Weather Underground.

Symptom: Cops getting killed, (most recent NY shooting hidden by media)
Problem: Racist cops and guns
Solution: Disarm more law abiding citizens, let “perps” (Can we say that on the internet?) shoot more cops.

"in order to test its security"

Now it's our turn to test the criminal justice and penal system.

It would take more than a .22 pistol to make feel “fully armed”

Uh, WHAT!? Did he go in arms raised or gun drawn? No choice? Excuse the pun, but what a cop-out, “Oh, the POOR poor, pitiful victim”

I would prefer to read about the perp being toes-up
