Baltimore City’s Police Union is sounding the alarm because they say the department is in crisis due to the fact that it has too few officers.
According to a new report, there are more than 100 fewer Baltimore City PD officers than last year, with the union saying this poses a safety concern as officers are being overworked.

Bull Cheese. Baltimore has plenty of police officers. The problem is they have too many thugs who belong in jail and not on the streets.
I wonder if Baltimore has the same percentage of cops as a normal city.
Baltimore could be ‘great again’. It has many beautiful areas and buildings of interest to tourists and scholars. Of course, Ben Carson and Johns Hopkins Medical Facility are incomparable.
A motivated citizenry and competent mayor could solve the crime problem if they really cared.
If they had a psychic on the payroll they’d have seen this coming.
Geewillikers! Just why would anyone not consider being a baltimore cop? Hmmmm....
Unexpected.
Only the blind - and liberal elites = can't connect these dots...
She lives not far from the Admiral Fell Inn & used to work at a restaurant called Bertha’s, making cheesecakes. We visited once & walked around the neighborhood with her. There were some drunks & obviously mentally ill folks she was on a first name basis with. She hasn’t told us of any issues, but I doubt she goes out much on her own anymore. Her son lives with her. He no longer carries a wallet as he was robbed at gun-point once. I guess you accept some risks living in an area like that.
Such a shame.
Too bad. Maybe one day the real estate prices will jump so high that only yuppies will be able to afford to live there.
Baltimore was originally settled for good reasons. I hope it gets reclaimed someday.
“This is despite lavish pay and benefits.”
What lavish pay?
.
Like I said to other Baltimore folks, I sure hope that the city is reclaimed someday. It may happen.
unintended consequences...
My neighbor has a 457 lying within easy each in his house.
‘course; we are living out in the boonies; away from Indianapolis.
I wonder why there’s a shortage?
Ooops - forgot the sarcasm font!
Based on your description of their understanding of this issue, I question your moonbat conclusion.
That is based on the fact they don't blame republicans or whites for the mess in Baltimore, moonbats would...
OK. You know them better than I do. :)
