History of gun points to tracking problems
Weapon used to kill city officer had been in police hands

The investigation into who killed Detective Troy Chesley moved quickly. Within hours of his death, police found a suspect, witnesses and the weapon used in the killing - a Sig Sauer handgun customized with a laser targeting system.

The serial number: U5408
At a news conference held the day Chesley died, police commanders angrily complained that the suspect, Brandon Grimes, had been arrested 17 times - twice for handgun possession - yet was still on the street.

But police later learned some disturbing news: The gun used to kill Chesley in January had slipped through their hands - twice.

A Sig Sauer with serial number U540876 was one of eight weapons seized by police in a 2001 firearms investigation but returned to the owner when the case fell apart. Last year, the gun owner reported some of his weapons stolen, including that Sig Sauer, but a city police officer never followed through on her investigation and didn't obtain an arrest warrant for the prime suspect, the gun owner's son.

Thats 100% their fault. Obviously they aren't doing a good job even prosecuting with the laws they have. 17 times is absurd. Guy should have been in jail long ago, not on the street.

Sounds like the same problem Philly has. Continually releasing people.

I also have to disagree. Even if the received a search warrant this kid would have either

A: not been stupid enough to leave it where it could be found

B: Obtained another weapon to use.

"It would be a stretch to say that getting that warrant would have prevented [Chesley's] death," said Col. Frederick H. Bealefeld III, the deputy police commissioner. "Brandon Grimes was bent on using guns and being involved in violence."

Hey, Baltimore is not screwed up. The gun laws in DPRM are not that screwed up. You just have to have an extreme left lean to your walk.

Baltimore PD has done this thing before.

So instead of locking up 2 criminals they decide to go after the real criminals...

Guns! Those dastardly criminal killer badguys... guns. Those magical weapons that kill all by themselves... guns.

How freakin' stupid is that?

Sheila Dixon is an idiot and wouldn't have a job if not for that leftist commie OMalley.
