Governor has National Guard on alert

April 27, 2015
ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Larry Hogan is closely monitoring the situation in Baltimore City and has been in contact with Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake office to provide the city with whatever resources are required. The Maryland State Police have been dispatched in a supporting role on the ground, as well as other resources and equipment from various state agencies.
“Today’s looting and acts of violence in Baltimore will not be tolerated. In response, I have put the Maryland National Guard on alert so they can be in position to deploy rapidly as needed. I strongly condemn the actions of the offenders who are engaged in direct attacks against innocent civilians, businesses and law enforcement officers. There is a significant difference between protesting and violence and those committing these acts will be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law.

“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. 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.”

Not sure who is using Air-60 (one of the statewide frequencies) but it seems to be police on the ground.

Edit: Maryland Tac 4 has been patched into Air-60.

On a related note, I'm now receiving a strong CMARC signal in Annapolis. MEMA (or the controlling agency) must have enabled some towers in Anne Arundel. Not much traffic however, just the usual fuel trucks.

The rioters are now slicing supply lines with knives....

The rioters are now slicing supply lines with knives....

One of the most outrageous things I've ever seen on live television...

You have to feel for the innocent property owners in this area that have to put up with this.

Citywide curfew starting tomorrow from 10PM - 5AM for the next week per the mayor.

Looks like the sale is over at the mall, unless you want to break thru a skirmish line of heavily armed cops.
