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.

Based on those beliefs, I am wondering if they have a member in the WH right now.

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

It would take less than a .22 pistol to make me reasonably believe, as a reasonable citizen, that a violent perpetrator was putting me in imminent danger of death or grave bodily harm.

When I saw this story last night on a Baltimore news station, I said, “That guy is a dead man”. The police may wind up getting some good intel from him, but the gang will find him and kill him. I hope he does not have a family.

This is the same gang that was actually running one of the prisons in Baltimore City. Drugs and other contraband were brought into the jail, and the gang leader who was incarcerated there even had female friends there working as prison guards. He impregnated a few of them.

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

Weather Underground = Bill Ayers = Obama !!!

People who break the law then claim they were merely “testing” the system deserve the opportunity to then “test” our criminal justice system. Then “test” our penal system for 5-10 years.
