Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh announced a violent crime plan and appointed a new criminal justice director Wednesday, just days after the city failed to go 72 hours without a murder in the "nobody kill anybody" weekend campaign.
... Her policy plan addresses three areas she believes are the root cause of violent crime: poorly trained police, poor drug policy, and an under-educated populace.

Pughs plan also addresses a criminal justice reform topic that has enjoyed wide bipartisan support across the country, which is lowering sentences for drug crimes. Her plan calls for increased investment in drug treatment programs and other penal alternatives to prisons, WBAL reported.
She also wants narcan, an overdose reversal drug, to be more accessible in the city.
Her final major reform is to make Baltimores community colleges offer a free two-year program to seniors graduating from local high schools, claiming violent crime is often caused by a lack of opportunity.

Nobobdees in BalteeMo care whut dis beach say.
She forgot to post everything in EBONICS.....
What is the median IQ in Baltimore? 80? 85?
The obvious libtard solution to make the weekend a success was to direct all law enforcement to not answer any calls. All crimes can then be taken care of on Monday and all reports will reflect they occurred then, not on the weekend. Do we have to think of everything for them?
Of course, 50 plus years of Democrat rule has nothing to do with any of that.

Sounds nice, but how is she planning to pay for this?
I want to solve guns so I am reducing sentences, giving out narcan, and offering free college.
One of these things, is not like the others,...
This is using a totally unrelated excuse to deploy massive social program wants and desires she can’t get any other way than “linking” (and how are they linked, btw?) them to gun violence.
None of this stuff will change gun violence one bit. It’s just the cause du jour to get this stuff rammed through.

Another failure, anyone surprised?
Lower sentences for non-violent drug crimes, but INCREASE them for violent drug crimes.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
This is so simple... Everybody knows everyone is "somebody" so telling "Nobody" to not kill anyone isn't going to stop the killings because the message is to NOBODY... If it has meaning to you I'll add the "/s"
We keep stymying Darwin's social work.
