For a while, there was reason to hope.
Twelve days without a killing in February. Declining street violence in March. Optimism around a new police commissioner. After a three-year spike in violent crime, a long and bloody siege that brought Baltimore international attention, the city seemed finally to be heading toward peace.
Then came April. Someone executed a mother and daughter inside their house. Stray gunfire killed a 65-year-old woman on her porch. A wanton shooter wounded a 69-year-old man outside his home.
Baltimore police counted 17 killings last month, but 29 within the past three weeks. For Baltimoreans and for the officials charged with keeping them safe, a familiar dread is returning.

Who cares. They are getting exactly what they asked for. When the police are in the neighborhoods getting guns off the streets and being pro active they holler racism and profiling. This is the result of the residents own actions and not a thing will change until they change and stop their lying about everything being racist.
