".....36 people killed in Baltimore so far this month, already the highest homicide count for May since 1999. But while homicides are spiking, arrests have plunged more than 50 percent compared to last year.
The drop in arrests followed the death of Freddie Gray from injuries he suffered in police custody. Gray’s death sparked protests against the police and some rioting, and led to the indictment of six officers."

White privilege strikes again!
Use the DOJ method of reducing crime - don’t report it. Problem solved. Arrests down = crime down.
“I feel sorry for the honest blacks living there”
I agree.
Misguided liberals (mostly white) gave us this mess.
My understanding of cause and effect.
We have a national press that is pretty much a one-party (Democrat) one ideology (liberal) press. (The Soviets had a one party/ideology press). They work in unison to hype some stories while remaining silent on many stories. This results in a faulty understanding on the part of those who trust the press (liberals). The current Democratic party campaign against white police officers leads to less policing in dangerous black neighborhoods. More black people are murdered by black thugs.
Where were these complainers when the cops were getting bashed by rioters, the Mayor and State’s attorney? TS folks. To the cops, look the other way and go to neighborhoods that appreciate you.........although there won’t be much work for you in those neighborhoods. Nice quiet day.
Most of Baltimore is already a 3rd world hell hole, and descending into an far eastern suburb of Detroit.
Rome fell because of internal moral rot and decay. That's the way of civilizations.
Most large cities lie about their crime stats to keep liberal corrupt mayors happy.
This is the logical outcome, unfortunately. Prayers for the innocent.
Many are too stupid, apparently, to realize when “leaders” take them down these paths, this is the result.
A calculated result. Let me repeat.
This is a calculated result. Never letting a crisis go to waste. An devilish opportunity for agitation to wreck civil order.
And civil order is being wrecked in Baltimore.
And they don’t realize they are simply pawns, sacrificed in a chess game designed to lose.
And create chaos and havoc.
LBJ’s chickens are coming home to roost.
The article says the cops said when they show up on a call, they are surrounded by 30-50 hostile natives
Any wonder why they are just killing time (so to speak) driving and not stopping?
Read about a similar occurrence in Florida the other day. LEO trying to arrest some punk is surrounded and hit by some more punks trying to intervene in the arrest. Pulling on the cop and the perp so he could break free. Brevard Count if I recall correctly.
