New Baltimore Police deputy commissioner,wife,robbed at gunpoint, officials say

[DRob]

Being employed by a big city police department doesn't automatically mean you are really a police officer. He's an admin guy who probably doesn't even supervise any real police. Former bureaucrat from NOLA hired by another former bureaucrat from NOLA per the article. They each know the other's secrets, in other words.

Murphy was a non-sworn civilian employee of NOPD, and I assume he is the same In Baltimore.

Are we just assuming he wasn't carrying? I didn't see anything in the news articles saying he wasn't carrying. Possible he didn't fight back? Maybe he was surprised and didn't want to draw from the drop...?

Just because there weren't shots fired and the robbers were successful doesn't mean he wasn't armed, right?

I'm 110% confident if he had been carrying, this would have been brought up as a reason why we shouldnt carry; even those armed are no match for the superhuman criminals. The liberal media would gleefully parade an instance where an armed person was no match for an armed attacker.

• Murphy, who is listed as the deputy commissioner for the compliance bureau in a Baltimore Police Department organizational chart, was hired earlier this year by Commissioner Michael Harrison. Murphy previously worked as the deputy superintendent of compliance for the New Orleans Police Department, where the two previously worked together, according to the Baltimore Sun.

[FONT=&amp]So he's a professional "compliance" officer - a liberal social justice mercenary (if there is such an animal.) The jokes write themselves sometimes.

Hope this comes out readable, showing up weird for me as I type this. The above is from Second City Cop this morning which can be found at Second City Cop. Jim.

I’m pretty sure he’s the consent decree puppet.

Sorry about my above post. The copy and paste from Second City Cop was the only part that came out legible and I do not know how to fix it. Appears he is a "social justice warrior" not a real cop. Jim.

99% positive the guy is a lawyer and not a cop.

This whole discussion with it's speculation based upon appearance and treating guns like magic talismen that prevent robberies is weird.

Armed people are, and have been robbed.

Sometimes, armed people discern that all the perp is a wallet and doesn't risk drawing on someone with a gun already out. Did I miss the part where the guy had a lighted "robber" sign hanging around his neck or is the new doctrine to draw down on every person who you think could be a robber?

Anyway, no one was harmed, so I don't know what this isn't a "win" for the guy and his wife who got robbed. Stuff can always be replaced and stuff is all that was lost.

I have heard this new school of thought somewhere.

Lucky that property was all the perps wanted this time.
Dunno that I would have reacted in the same way if an SUV occupied 4x pulled over and 2 w/ firearms got out. Sounds awfully close to the start of an abduction/ransom-***-murder.

The discussion really is the irony of some dweeb that is busy telling cops how they are doing their job incorrectly is the subject of a robbery and lacked the situational awareness to potentially avoid it. Somehow I doubt he is a big supporter of the 2A and allowing citizens in his new city to carry guns if they choose to. He is a victim of the utopia he and his kind have created.

When will these cities citizens stop electing Democrats to lead their S-Hole cities?

Murphy was hired to oversee the Baltimore Police Department's compliance with its federal consent decree

It is possible that the robbery was well-planned. Situational awareness, like simply "being armed", isn't a magic talisman. We as defenders are forced to respond to the attackers. If the attackers did everything right, situational awareness and being armed might not be enough to defend yourself. Can't draw from the drop, outnumbered, maybe it was a targeted attack -- strike fear into the city administration's new hire that's supposedly there to.. uhh... foster compliance and transparency from criminals? I don't really know what his job is, but seems like a position criminals may want to symbolically spit on by orchestrating a crime like this.

Seems like a distant possibility, but possible nonetheless.

The bigger point: I think we sometimes underestimate some attackers and overestimate our readiness to deal with them. Most violent encounters may be quick and crude and amateurish, but some are well planned.

What do you think you can do if you're outnumbered, have a gun pointed at you, and a guy says something like "try anything and you and your wife are dead"? Losing cash and phones isn't that bad in that scenario, I think.

And, as previously noted, no one was harmed, save maybe their egos.

Well, if that's the case then he got exactly the expected outcome for his efforts. Good for him. Never go to Baltimore.

I like that description. When I saw the picture, my first thought is that he looked like the product of Howdy Doody having an affair with Bill Gates"s mom.

More assumptions.

True. But probably correct. And they make me giggle, a little.
