To me, this story sounds like 1.police could not stop either theft incident 2. the police cannot stop shootings 3. so why not go after the theft victim, he obeys the law, even turned in his own son for theft, so he must be an easy person to blame for a couple of the thousands of robberies, mugging and murders that take place in Baltimore.
Baltimore is a cespool of crime and violence, and the draconian gun laws that target law abiding citizens don't work, but most of the rest of the state are decent law abiding people held captive by Baltimore city/D.C. suburb politics with the Teflon Leprechaun at the helm
