The Kelly File hosted a segment in which Megyn Kelly addresses the bloodiest month in Baltimore since 1999. She reveals that Baltimore cops are reluctant to do their jobs for fear of being fired or indicted. She called on Trace Gallagher to give her the scoop after officers have, apparently, initiated an unofficial "slowdown," despite assurances by Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts.

“Police are not moving aggressively, in fact, just the opposite,” said Gallagher. They are calling it a coordinated "slowdown" as they are "not patrolling and not being proactive," he said. Batts has threatened officers' jobs should they continue with their “slowdown.” But, Gallagher says that the cops don’t believe Batts is on their side, saying that he is a “politician before he is a police officer.”

Gallagher said, “Because they don’t have faith in their command protecting them, the cops are protecting each other while taking an ‘us-against-them’ attitude, saying that they just want to make it through their 10 hours and go home." The effects are very apparent as murders within the city have risen by 100%, while the number of arrests have declined by 50%. Seems the community is beginning to taste the flavor of anarchy.

Mark Fuhrman, a former homicide detective, was then invited to speak on the situation and he refused to pull a single punch. He said that cops “Bleed blue and they understand the whole system. They don’t care what politicians think, what they do or what they say. When their chief becomes a politician now they know they have no leadership. When you start indicting people for doing their job, they understand the writing on the wall.”

“What they’re going to do is go out there, answer their radio, follow the rules, do what they do according to the book, and then they are going to go home.”

Fuhrman says that he doesn’t blame Baltimore police for their reaction and, in fact, he encourages more departments to do the same. He believes that the people in the community, the ones with the “black lives matter” signs, need to recognize and start caring about all of the black lives that are ended by black criminals.
