Anarchy in Baltimore: Residents claim police have deserted them in wake of Freddie Gray riots as murder rate soars to highest in 15 years

Jennifer Jeffrey, 31, and son Kester 'Tony' Browne, 8, were killed Thursday They became the city's 37th and 38th homicide victims this month Residents have barricaded their doors in fear of ongoing violence Some have compared parts of the city to the Wild West Others have said virtually no police have been on the streets since riots Arrests are down almost 50 per cent on the same time last year Police claim they are being met with 'hostility' during confrontations

As one of the city's deadliest months comes to an end, terrified residents have compared parts of Baltimore to the Wild West.

In the wake of the Freddie Gray riots, families have barricaded themselves inside their homes, too afraid to leave, while those on the streets walk around wielding guns - because there are allegedly no police around to arrest them.

Arrested are down 50percent and homicides are at their highest level in 15 years. In the Western District, there have been more murders in the first five months of this year than in all of 2014.

Neighborhoods such as West Baltimore, which had seen heavy policing because of endemic drug and gang violence in recent years, have experienced a reversal, with citizens claiming they have been virtually abandoned.

But embattled law enforcement officials claim they are 'under siege' from criminals taking advantage of the unrest, while officers complain they are met with hostility while policing certain areas.

But isn’t the area more peaceful and friendly now that the “people” have taken the streets from the “pigs”?

“And the foreign press has picked up this story.”

Sadly, the foreign press are the only ones, daily reporting the truth here as usual.

So I’d like to ask -

how would any lefty actually accomplish the idea
of a police force protecting the citizenry of Baltimore from criminals,
without “oppressing” the criminals?

Why didn’t the Ferguson, Cleveland and other similar area police departments do this?

As America continues her decline, moments such as this are bittersweet. To see the mob get what they want, and realize what it means is sweet. To see another American city trashed beyond repair, is bitter.

There is an apartment for rent sign in that picture. Wonder how much the rent is. Bet there is no waiting list.

That's simple: a centralized national police force with one dictatorial leftist in absolute control, power to the nth power.

That's what all this is about. Just wait and see . . . everything the "vopos" (Volkspolitzei or "people's police") will do will be excused and defended by the same people who are playing hippie anarchist right now.

You kind of get the impression that the people in charge dont know what they are doing.

Some say the ghetto is hyper masculine but In fact it is feminized:

Proactive cops? Doing it wrong.

Reactive cops? STILL doing it wrong.

Sounds exactly like the drama-seeking reaction of a woman, not a man.
