Fifty years ago LIFE or LOOK had an article on crime in which the police said they would not answer calls in the colored section of town. “Just N-——s cutting up.” was the claim. Their words, not mine.
What this article fails to mention is that six police officers were raked over the coals and subjected to prosecution for the Freddie Gray thing, but were found not guilty in several trials by juries that also contained black citizens. It was a railroading and a horrible harassment of working class family men that most families would suffer terribly under financially. Baltimore also had an officer shot recently while sitting in his patrol car not bothering anyone.
It's no wonder they are wary of doing the job. Even when they're right, they're wrong in the eyes of the Democrat city officials and race-hustler leaders.
