Gee, I wonder why this would happen? Don’t expect this to get better anytime soon.
BALTIMORE – Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake called the city’s recent spike in violence “disheartening” Thursday as police work to address a dramatic increase in homicides and nonfatal shootings.
“It’s extremely frustrating,” the mayor told reporters at a news conference. “It is disheartening, but I am still resolved to continue to reduce violent crime in our city.”
Rawlings-Blake said the city’s faced spikes in crimes in the past and police have been able to successfully reverse them. She said she’s “confident” police do so will again.
The city’s had 98 homicides so far this year, which is 42 percent higher than over the same period in 2014. Nonfatal shootings are up more than 70 percent with at least 19 people shot on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Murder rate? What murder rate? Who cares - as long as the mayor is easy on the eyes?
If you were a cop in Baltimore, and saw that you will be thrown under the bus by your mayor and police chief, all to appease the liberals, what would you do???
If it's not going to get better, it's not a "spike."
First of all, I wouldn’t be a police officer in a Democratic Party controlled hell-hole.
Bush’s fault.
So as long as she is "resolved," she's not to blame and not responsible.
Liberals are judged by their intentions, results don't matter. The "intentions" are the "results."
Conservatives are judged by their results, intentions don't matter. Their "results" are their "intentions."
Boys will be boys. They’re all hard working teddy bears looking forward to their bright future. They’re good boys. Very good boys.
Put Democrats in charge anywhere, and SHIT WILL HAPPEN for sure.
19 people shot on Tuesday and Wednesday? Good Lord.I guess black lives don’t matter at least not to blacks. I guess the indictment of the six cops has made the other police very wary of taking action
This is great. I love watching Democrats suffer. I don’t care if they’re white, black, Hispanic, Muslim, pagan, Christian or Jew. If they voted for Obama in 2012, I want to watch them burn.
For some reason, Charm City doesn’t appear to be so “charming”...unless your thing is to be murdered by feral thugs.
Hear, hear!
I wouldn't want to be a doctor in that liberal hell hole; with those numbers, the average surgeon in Baltimore likely has more experience treating gunshot wounds than someone serving in Afghanistan.
“First of all, I wouldn’t be a police officer in a Democratic Party controlled hell-hole.”
What an ODD comment - All police forces are Unionized - All are Democrat voting blocks - Especially in the North East.
I was a state security policeman at an air base and was in AFSCME, so I realize that.
This is what happens when you sacrifice cops on the altar of political correctness.
The corrupt prosecutor should apologize for the increase in murders.
What happened to that ‘plan of action /detente’ between the Bloods, the Crypts and Farrakhan’s boys?
Just wait until summer...
