Baltimore Police Solving Disturbingly Low Number Of The City’s Murders
CBS Baltimore ^ | 5 Aug 2015 | Derek Valcourt

Posted on 08/05/2015 1:38:42 PM PDT by Steely Tom

Hundreds upon hundreds of shootings and murders, and the mayor tells WJZ it’s all happening at the hands of a small group of violent criminals.

“We are working very hard to not just identify those individuals, but to build cases against them so we can extract them from the streets,” Mayor Rawlings-Blake said.

As of Tuesday morning, there have been 192 murders in Baltimore. Police tell WJZ their clearance rate on murder cases is about 33 percent, or, a third.

Baltimore police declined to tell WJZ how many open cases each homicide detective is currently working. In fact, they even refused to tell us just how many homicide detectives they currently have.

“Here in Baltimore, we’re only as strong as our relationships with the community,” said Acting Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin Davis.

City leaders are calling on citizens and witnesses to step up and help police.

Bull Obama.

This is just another manufactured crises that will allow for Lynch and the Just Us goons to send Federal troops into the city.

Which I don’t really object to, since this is Baltimore and they can all go to hell for all I care. But. After the Kenyan Regime has control of the ferals and teens, then it’s normal people in flyover country that will be next.

Them FEMA Kamps aren’t just gonna fill themselves, now are they?

Heh. Baltimore fired its black police commissioner after TSHTF, and hired this white boy. As a pastsy, no doubt.

Yes, leftists need to destroy local policing and institute a federal force that answers only to D.C.

Americans do not understand how having local law enforcement, especially sheriffs, provides a bulwark against federal tyranny.

All the cop haters out there ought to reconsider how they are helping the leftists accomplish their goal by undermining support for the police.

Or it could be that Baltimogadishu is 63% black. But we can’t say that.

He was actually the second-in-command and got promoted. You can see from his picture how thrilled he seems.

Or 1 in 3! Or major failure.
