On a different day, liberals will be telling us to give up guns and trust the police to protect us.

It would help if the Mayor and other politicians would encourage actual enforcement of the law.

The current light touch on real criminals doesn’t engender any sense of purpose.

Short answer, no.

I would suggest by 2025, that Baltimore will have reached the Detroit stage and the population will start to decrease 5,000 a year over the next decade.

For starters, the corrupt police task force was supposedly tipped off to the FBI investigation by someone working in that office.

The corrupt police task force needs a corrupt police task force.

The only safe places are inside the palaces of liberal elites. Everyone else is expendable as tools for their agenda.

The police just need to ‘be given some space’, just as the rioters were.

in a smaller city such as my city, the lines have been drawn but no movement in either direction. A atmosphere of corruption puts honest officers at risk. I overheard a waitress I know tell a customer she was glad her son was resigning. When I privately asked her why she said that, she mentioned the fact “things ain’t right” and I couldn’t argue. The gangs have a good part of this city in control. I can only imagine what Baltimore is like.I was there in the early 70s,visiting my sister in Odenton. It was decent then.

Sounds like another version of black on black crime.
In any other enterprise, the managers and boards of directors that supposedly supervised these criminals would be held accountable, fired for negligence, and possibly made to pay back restitution.

Then they will encourage the “war on cops” because the cops shot a n angel of a kid with a knife.

In the 1960s, they peaked out at 940,000. In the past couple of years, they are at 614,000 and likely will dip below the 600,000 by 2022. ‘White Flight’ is going on and there’s virtually no reason to live in the city.

There’s a Netflix series in this. “The Shield” in real life.
