BALTIMORE From the steps of her New Bethlehem Baptist Church, the Rev. Lisa Weah looked down the block to the open-air drug market outside the bodega on the corner a few hundred feet away.
The traffic there had been slowing until the chaos that followed the death of Freddie Gray on April 19, after he was injured in police custody. Now it is back full-bore, and the police are often nowhere to be seen.
A month and a half after six officers were charged in Mr. Grays death, policing has dwindled in some of Baltimores most dangerous neighborhoods, and murders have risen to levels not seen in four decades. The totals include a 29-year-old man fatally shot on this drug corner last month. Police union officials say that officers are still coming to work, but that some feel a newfound reluctance and are stepping back, questioning whether they will be prosecuted for actions they take on the job....

Heck, the open air drug market might be the only economic activity going on in that area.
that’s cold man lol.
I’ll try not to.
They have. Maybe that's why he's proposing new action to push poor blacks into affluent white neighborhoods by placing low income quotas on block grants.
I will chip in whatever amount is necessary. To hell with the grants
Be careful, very careful in what you pray for!!!!
It’s not just about Gray, in fact if it was Gray alone it probably would be business near normal.
It’s about the insanity that launched with Trayvon and in Ferguson with Washington DC as amen chorus.
A juggernaut of pure perversity is on the loose and it is on back patting terms with Big Ears.
Of course the geniuses at the Slimes sound surprised
I would start with their AA mayor and DA.
We’ll not see the end of the trouble “ears” has caused for a long long time.
have you ever watched the TV series the Wire?
to understand Baltimore City you must watch and absorb the Wire series
I’m not interested in Baltimore, or whichever city is having a blck problem from decade to decade, I’m more intersted in the government/police/firemen/teachers/garbage/nurses, unions that are taking over local and state governments everywhere in America.

The idiot in the WH made his feelings about the police known 5 months after he was first sworn in. The infamous Henry Louis Gates fiasco bared it all.
He is personally responsible for the chaos IMHO. The thugs know they are immune to punishment.

“”the agitators and the dopes who follow them “”
There you go! Everyone hollering “black lives matter” and the professional agitators in the country can march themselves right into Baltimore and do the job of the police. WITHOUT protection!!!!!
What’s The Difference?
The second photo shows shoes, otherwise it appears to be the same photo, ... but I’m posting without my eyeglasses.
I bet they weren’t work shoes.
if you watched the program you would see that what you think is not true
Idiots cut off thier nose in spite of thier face and now the drug gangs and families control the house
That must be quite a tv show to correct me on my 50 years of being against government unions, too bad FDR wasn’t around to see it, since he also thought that government unions was an insane idea.
