4. Those aren't his police. He stopped being Mayor of Baltimore over 7 years ago.

While he was there, he increased minority hiring of police, created a civilian review board, and brought police shootings to an all time low.

As for guns, he passed and signed into law a ban on 45 types of assault-style rifles and created new permitting requirements for those seeking to buy a handgun, as well as several measures intended to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill. Those are accomplishments, not just talk and dreams.
