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.

Gee, no cops involved in these shootings.
Oh well.
And the foreign press has picked up this story.
But isn’t the area more peaceful and friendly now that the “people” have taken the streets from the “pigs”?
Condolences to family and friends of the recently murdered in Baltimore.
Be prepared.
Be careful what you wish for . . .
“And the foreign press has picked up this story.”
Sadly, the foreign press are the only ones, daily reporting the truth here as usual.
You asked for it, you got it, enjoy.
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.
‘The Purge’ ??
There is an apartment for rent sign in that picture. Wonder how much the rent is. Bet there is no waiting list.
Are you talking to them, or...
how would any lefty actually accomplish the idea of a police force protecting the citizenry of Baltimore from criminals, without oppressing the criminals?
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.
So? Call the Mayor’s office....
That should buff right out.
Round and round
What goes around comes around
I tell you whyyyy
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.
