Moron journalists. Headline should have read, “Baltimore murder rate soars with steep fall in police numbers,” but of course, they can’t bring themselves to draw ANY correlation between the presence of armed police (OR citizens) and the murder rate.
From the article: “Criminologists say it is not clear if police shortages have contributed to a rise in many types of violent crime in the United States since 2015.”
Damned morons.
