If anything, 'The Wire' underplayed how awful it is in Baltimore.

Six people were killed and at least two others wounded in separate shootings in Baltimore Monday night and early Tuesday morning, prompting Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin Davis to announce a weeklong deployment initiative to put more officers on the street.
Effective immediately, all patrol officers and detectives will be required to work 12-hour shifts, rather than their standard 10-hour shifts, and every sworn officer in the department capable of being deployed will be deployed, Davis said.
Davis called the latest spate of violence — in a record-setting year for it — "unconscionable," and said he joined community members in being "pissed off" about it.
"We're just as angry and frustrated and ticked off about it as anyone else watching, and I expect people to be upset," Davis said. "I expect people to want a better Baltimore, to want a sense of peace and tranquility that when they leave their home or go to their car or go to the store or go to work or walk in the neighborhood that they don't have to put up with this crap.

Damn you Sir & your quick fingers.
The police get overtime, but the dead will stay dead.................
12 hours shifts will work!! Maybe if they paid teachers more?$15.00 living wage? ~sarc
6 dead since Monday!?!?!
It’s Tuesday afternoon!!
Wow.
Who could have seen this coming?
Blacks can’t have it both ways. They cannot have the lower level of policing that communities can have and have the same level crime levels.
They only make a fuss and riot when a cop kills them, when its a fellow black who kills another black its no biggie, just street cred. So many black on black crime here in LA, they show the victims families faces, crying, begging for justice..media leaves after an hour, doesn’t fit the storyline
As long as the ferals confine the shootings to their own, I say stand back and let ‘em have at it!
For homicide detectives the clock starts ticking the moment they are called
The first 48 hours as they say.
It’s the only way they are going to learn to stop it.
Looks like the “heyjackass” guys need to open a Baltimore franchise.
What about a Twitter Campaign? Don’t they know you can’t stop killers and violence without a really good # slogan????!!!!
Stevie Wonder coulda’ seen this coming.

Baltimore, Chicago - Democrat rule. Proof it doesn’t work (but we already knew that).
Thank Marilyn Mosby
How will that help? The problem is the children of liberalism. No father, given a free pass in everything they do, given the right to blame Whitey for their problems. They don’t have to act like normal people. Of course they kill, and will kill some more.
