Maryland Governor Hogan Declares State of Emergency and Deploys National Guard in Streets of Baltimore

The cops were ordered to let this riot play out. They even let them burn a few police vehicles just to add to the spectacle. It was purposely allowed to make the situation look bad enough to bring in the National Guard. That is what they want as an excuse for Martial Law and to further militarize the police.



Republican Gov. Hogan Declares State Of Emergency, Activates National Guard

April 27, 2015

CBS – Governor Larry Hogan has declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard to address the growing violence and unrest in Baltimore City.
“I have not made this decision lightly. The National Guard represents a last resort in order to restore order,” Hogan said during a news conference Monday night. “People have the right to protest and express their frustration, but Baltimore City families deserve peace and safety in their communities and these acts of violence and destruction of property cannot and will not be tolerated.”
Hogan said he executed the request 30 seconds after it was made by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.
“When the mayor called me, which quite frankly we were glad that she finally did, we signed the executive order,” he said. “It’s obviously very disappointing to us as Marylanders and people who love the city of Baltimore. What started out as a peaceful protest … I would say 95 percent of the people involved were conducting themselves in a very peaceful manner, it was well under control. We had a lot of outside agitators come in from around the country, and we had some rogue gangs and young people that were just out looking to cause problems.”
Major General Linda Singh, the adjutant general of the Maryland Army National Guard, said during the news conference that the guard would be out in activation beginning Monday night. Up to 5,000 troops were available to patrol the streets and protect property.

Hogan said he spoke to President Obama at length about the violence.
“He supports our actions 100 percent. We talked about the fact that we’ve gotta find — everybody believes we need to get to the answers and resolve this situation, the concern that everybody has about what exactly happened in the Freddie Gray incident. That’s one whole situation. This is an entirely different situation. This is lawless gangs of thugs roaming the streets, causing damage to property and injuring innocent people, and we’re not gonna tolerate that,” he said.
Earlier today, a group of protestors clashed with police officers. Arrests were made in the incident, but unfortunately, some officers were hurt.
“My thoughts and prayers go out to the men and women in uniform who are actively working to stem this violence and several who been injured in the line of duty,” Hogan said in an earlier statement. “These malicious attacks against law enforcement and local communities only betray the cause of peaceful citizens seeking answers and justice following the death of Freddie Gray.”

Question: How do you bypass the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act limiting the military's involvement in law enforcement?

Answer: You militarize law enforcement.



















Maryland law enforcement is anxious to use their assault weapons, tanks and armored vehicles against the people. Come on, what good is it to have all that power and force and not being able to use it! Instigate riots, gun down citizens like wild animals, and then plant evidence against them.
