Don't worry, Tommy Carcetti ran on a platform of being tough on crime in Baltimore. :)
Watching The Wire I can't believe how bad that town is. Especially when in the behind the scenes interviews the creator talks about how much of it comes from stuff he either saw or was told about by police officers. Makes me glad to live in a small Oklahoma town.

Biggest problem the police department here has, besides the politicians, is the recent incorporation of the transit police into their ranks.
A Virginia couple stopped to ask directions, and ended up arrested by a transitory cop with an attitude. In Spider Robinson's phrase, not enough brains to keep her ears apart.
They wanted to leave town, and she probably didn't know how.
