Ten federal agents will join the Baltimore police homicide unit, commanders announced Sunday, after the city followed its deadliest month in decades with a night in which 10 people were shot — seven of them in one incident.
Interim Police Commissioner Kevin Davis said the addition of the special agents from the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Secret Service represent a "flipping of the script of sorts." "That's a bit unusual because local police departments — and Baltimore is no different — historically send detectives to federal law enforcement agencies to embed with their long-term investigations," he said. The department's homicide clearance rate is 36 percent. Davis said the agents will use federal resources to help homicide detectives solve killings. ... A spokesman for Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake called the move to bring in federal agents "exactly the kind of all-hands-on-deck approach that the mayor has been calling for." "It's clear that the relationships that Commissioner Davis brings to the position, as well as his creative approach toenhanced collaboration and cooperation withour various federal, state and local law enforcement partners, are boosting our efforts," spokesman Howard Libit said in a statement. "Asthe policecontinue to work with community members who are increasingly calling in tips, the mayor is confident that together we will bring the violence under control." http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/freddie-gray/bs-md-ci-violence-20150802-story.html#page=1 |

They should be erecting a fence and dispensing hand grenades to those in it's confines.

The ATF is going to show up and hand out a bunch of hi-points so they can trace them to crime scenes.

I've got a better proposition:
1. Accumulate the salaries of all agents combined. 2. Buy the maximum quantity of firearms you're able to with that monetary amount. 3. Dump said firearms into random areas of the Baltimore neighborhood. 4. ????? 5. Profit. |

The homicide unit comes out after the fact. Put together a street task force with feds on it, reap the financial/equipement benefits of having feds on it (feds suck balls as street cops and more often as not as desk cops too but they bring money and fun toys). We did a similar thing back in the mid 90's-early 2000's. Had guys from my dept, sheriff dept, state police, fbi and atf. At the outset we had fed indictments on over 100 crips and bloods with 90% copping pleas with minimum sentences of 40years or more. dont think any of them actually went to trial, a couple turned states witness and a couple died in jail awaiting trial. Totally shut down gangs in our county until recently. Ours spun out of the gang shooting of 5 deputies on one scene. J- |

It was a fed who shot the guy in Detroit recently, that caused a ruckus.
Who will they turn to when a DOJ run bureau agent is involved in one of the "questionable" shootings? |

The good idea fairy must have had diarrhea all over some people.
The city which rioted because the police are racist is now bringing in the feds in the hopes of helping them put young black men behind bars on murder raps. Awesome. This "task force" has epic clusterfuck written all over it. Probably enough to generate outstanding content for a whole season of The Wire. It will be declared a rousing success. You can bet on that. Anyone remember those NYPD detectives that planted evidence and did all sorts of other illegal shit to get awesome clearance rates? Yeah. That's what happens when politicians and police chiefs start talking about clearance rates in public. |

J- My first thought was that the purpose for putting Feds into the situation is to observe the local police to see if they are letting things go. There has been a lot of talk about police hitting back at the way they have been treated by doing the "smile and wave" routine and letting things play out. Maybe they think the homicide cops aren't as eager as they should be to see murder rates go down. In any event the reason they are being sent is because the rise in homicides in Baltimore has become politically embarrassing and because it was predicted. |

I would say that those officers that are assigned with one of the feds should probably be wearing a body cam that records the whole shift. To avoid any "differences of viewpoint" if something does hit the fan. For self preservation because as was pointed out the DOJ will toss the locals under the bus in a heartbeat.

As long as 'snitches get stitches' in Baltimore, that clearance rate ain't going up even with Feds on the team.

Maybe they think the homicide cops aren't as eager as they should be to see murder rates go down. View Quote The homicide detectives answer to Lt's, Captains, and a Chief. All of whom are interested in preserving their hide. I guarantee the homicide detectives are being leaned on pretty hard to close cases. Problem is that Baltimore, already a shithole, has seen a severe spike since it was clear that the politicians were backing shitheads over the cops. The cops have no juice on the streets. They've been pretty publicly punked. That means witnesses are less cooperative than ever...and that's in a culture that was already averse to "snitching". Stir all that together and you get what you're seeing in Baltimore. The feds aren't there because the Baltimore homicide unit is twiddling its thumbs. That unit is likely overwhelmed and getting absolutely nowhere on these cases. Their numbers have likely been increased by the addition of personnel from other units, but it still isn't enough. And keep in mind that Baltimore is a city that has failed to try people on murder charges because they lacked the resources to do so. Then factor in all the petty resource protection bullshit that usually goes on in Baltimore PD. The feds are there to bring in resources and to make it look like the Feds are Doing Something to help this poor downtrodden city. Because this shit is embarrassing as fuck to the fucksticks running the show. Of course, really doing something means locking up a bunch of young black men for a long time. So the real goal here is to knock things back down to usual Baltimore shithole levels and then declare victory. Because this is all politics. Corners will be cut. Some shitheads who deserve to be in a cage will be locked into one. Some shitheads who deserve to be in a cage will be locked into one on sketchy evidence and sketchy procedure. A few innocents might even get stuck in a cage they don't deserve to be in. Five to ten years from now their stories will make national headlines continuing to feed the narrative that "the system" is racist. Even though they were locked up because a black mayor and a black president/attorney general didn't want to look bad while arguing that "the system" is racist. Then another black man will get killed and there will be riots and outrage. Then more murders. Then there will be another "task force"... |
