After dismantling special operations units throughout the Baltimore Police Department amid a patrol shortage and a high-profile gun squad scandal four months ago, Commissioner Kevin Davis has reassigned more than 150 police officers and supervisors back onto similar teams.
The city marked its 200th homicide on Wednesday, a staggering pace putting Baltimore on track to reach or exceed the historic highs — on a per capita basis — of 344 and 318 homicides in 2015 and 2016, respectively. As of July 15, the date through which citywide data is available, robberies were up 15 percent and aggravated assaults were up 18 percent. Burglaries were up 7 percent.
The dismantling of the plainclothes operations units earlier this year also followed a scathing Department of Justice report last summer that found unconstitutional policing was common in the city. Among other problems, Justice investigators found that a “disproportionate share of complaints” identified plainclothes officers as being “particularly aggressive and unrestrained in their practice of stopping individuals without cause and performing public, humiliating searches.”

They have failed so miserably that they have to appear to be doing something.
They are rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Reshuffling and restructuring administrative positions on a rapidly sinking ship.
Liberals and ...er...you know.
Such a disasterous pair.
Baltimore = New Chicago

While the price for boarding a commercial aircraft can be the same “particularly aggressive and unrestrained practice of stopping individuals without cause and performing public, humiliating searches.”
Mass murder is the fruit of Baltimore’s war on the police.
Once again, my message to Baltimore cops: If you are forced to patrol areas that hate you, drive on, eyes straight to the front, don’t stop for anything other than the most extreme emergency. These people don’t want you in their neighborhoods, oblige them and stay as far away as often as you can. Who cares what the murder rate is, you are going home at the end of your shift. Stay safe guys!!
As you sow...is there any doubt now that liberals are totally corrupt? And the people in these cities are just beyond saving. The sheer stupidity outs just stunning.
I agree with that totally. Why should a police officer put his or her life on the line to protect a bunch of scumbags who want to kill you?
