NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – In the wake of demonstrations and riots in Baltimore, police there put a warning out to law enforcement officers across the country.

The Criminal Intelligence Unit within Baltimore City police reported the department received credible information that violent gangs, including the Crips, Bloods, and Black Guerilla Family, have entered into a partnership to kill police officers.

The threat came as protests turned violent in Baltimore on Monday following Freddie Gray’s death. Gray died due to a spinal injury after being arrested earlier this month, and authorities have yet to explain how.

Media reported gangs, which are prominent across Baltimore, called a truce amid the chaos.

However, news of the allegedly credible threat toward police is being disseminated from Middle Tennessee’s biggest city, Nashville, to smaller nearby cities.

The warning from Baltimore police urges officers to take appropriate precautions.

“It is frightening for the public. It is a concern for the police, I’m sure,” Ashland City police chief Marc Coulon told News 2.
He said he told his men to be extremely cautious and alert.

“Be alert. Don’t overreact and be safe,” Chief Coulon added.

While Ashland City doesn’t have a gang problem, Coulon says the national warning is sobering for anyone who wears the badge.

“I’m going to take it seriously,” he said. “I’m advising my people to take it seriously.”

The Metro Police Department declined to talk about the warning, saying all their officers have been briefed about the situational awareness.

The president of the Fraternal Order of Police said the warning was very concerning but declined further comment.

FBI Issues Warning: Black Prison Gang Is Targeting White Cops

The Federal Bureau of Investigations field office in Baltimore, Maryland issued a warning Friday that the Black Guerilla Family prison was plotting to attack white police officers in the state.

The Baltimore Sun included the report of the threat in an article on the Maryland ties to the execution of two police officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, in New York City Saturday afternoon by Ismaaiyl Abdulah Brinsley.

Brinsley reportedly shot his girlfriend early Saturday morning in the Baltimore suburb of Owings Mills before he headed to New York. Neither of the slain New York officers was white.

Apparently the Sun has the exclusive on the threat, but buried it in the middle of the lengthy article. The Baltimore FBI has not released the information to the public.

“On Friday, the Baltimore FBI office issued a memo that the Black Guerrilla Family gang was targeting “white cops” in Maryland, an agency spokeswoman confirmed. The memo, circulating among officers, said a contact who had given reliable information in the past said members of the gang — connected to the high-profile corruption scandal at the Baltimore City Detention Center — were planning to target white officers to “send a message.”

“A federal law enforcement official said Brinsley had no known ties to the BGF.”

Earlier this month the New York Daily News reported the BGF was plotting to attack New York City police officers. The threat was soon allegedly deemed not credible by the NYPD.

The News also reported Saturday night that investigators were headed to Baltimore to explore possible ties between Brinsley and the BGF.

“The cold-blooded cop-hater who gunned down two police officers in Brooklyn on Saturday is suspected of being a member of a notorious prison gang that has declared open season on the NYPD.
“Detectives were headed to Baltimore on Saturday night to probe Ismaaiyl Brinsley’s ties to the Black Guerrilla Family, sources told the Daily News.

“One source said Baltimore police were already investigating Brinsley’s connection to the gang, which started in California’s San Quentin Prison in the 1960s by Black Panther member George Jackson.
““BGF has been talking about getting back at cops for Eric Garner and Ferguson,” a source told The News, citing intelligence intercepted in Baltimore area prisons.”

“There also was another reported threat. On Nov. 25, the NYPD spokesman said then, a police department outside of New York received a threat through an anonymous 911 call. The call, which was made to the Baltimore police department, threatened violent retribution against “cops” but did not name a specific department, according to a police source.”

The News added background on the BGF having corrupted corrections officers in Baltimore:

“Last year Baltimore law enforcement officials cracked down on the BGF’s stranglehold on the Baltimore City Detention Center because the gang was extorting people, intimidating witnesses and dealing drugs with help from correction officers. An investigation led to the arrest of two inmates and five corrections officers on charges of extortion, witness intimidation and drug dealing in the city jail.”

Baltimore police say gangs 'teaming up' to take out officers


By Justin FentonThe Baltimore Suncontact the reporter

• Black Guerrilla Family

Police claim "credible threat"; that BGF, Bloods, Crips teaming up to "take out" police.
BGF, Bloods, Crips "enter into a partnership" to harm officers, Baltimore Police say.

Baltimore Police say they have received a "credible threat" that rival gangs have teamed up to "take out" law enforcement officers.


Police said in a statement that they have received information that members of "various gangs" — including the Black Guerrilla Family, the Bloods and the Crips — have "entered into a partnership" to harm police.

"Law enforcement agencies should take appropriate precautions to ensure the safety of their officers," police said.
Capt. Eric Kowalczyk, the agency's chief spokesman, said he could not immediately elaborate on how the information was received or why police found it credible. He would not say whether it was believed connected to the ongoing demonstrations regarding the death of Freddie Gray.

In December, the Baltimore FBI office issued a memo that the Black Guerrilla Family gang was targeting "white cops" in Maryland, an agency spokeswoman confirmed.

The memo, circulating among officers, said a contact who had given reliable information in the past said members of the gang — connected to the high-profile corruption scandal at the Baltimore City Detention Center — were planning to target white officers to "send a message."

And in January, police were on heightened alert after a man brought a gun into the Northeastern District police station with a handgun and said it was part of a "security test" ordered by the BGF.

Michael Brown's Step Dad Confirmed as Blood Gang Banger

This morning's Today Show did a two minute feature on Louis Head, the stepfather of Michael Brown. It told us that charges are being considered because, minutes after he stood in front of an already-inflamed mob and started screaming "burn this bitch down", members of the mob did just that to businesses, cars, and whatever else they could find to torch on Ferguson's main street.

The story also featured Head's wife - Michael Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden - assuring us that he didn't incite the crowd, it was already incited anyway.

Funny, though. Nowhere in the story did it mention that Louis Head is a twice-convicted felon, who spent five years in jail for drug-dealing, and - according to various sources is, himself, a gang-banger, belonging to the "bloods".....or, for that matter that Michael Brown's mother is facing assault and robbery charges for allegedly beating and robbing her first husband's mother while she and other family members were selling Michael Brown merchandise on the street.

A police officer named “Dan” with decades on the force and connected to Ferguson chief of police Tom Jackson confirmed that Head and the Brown family are bloods.

In true Bloods fashion, Brown’s family wore red.

Am I wrong to think that Louis Head's background might bear on his current actions, or that Lesley McSpadden's behavior might reflect on her credibility as his defender?

Presenting only part of a story may make the folks over at Today feel righteous, and assure that - at least this time around - the race hustlers like sharpton, jackson, etc. will not accuse them of racism.

Too bad that, in reality, censoring news for racial reasons is racism.
