Violent crime surges as arrests drop in Baltimore post-riots

Crime is rising in Baltimore, and some law enforcement experts suspect an anti-cop climate stemming from the racially charged case of Freddie Gray is at least partly responsible.

Homicides in 2015 so far stand at 100, up from 71 for the same period last year, and on pace to be the Charm City’s deadliest year since 2007. Nonfatal shootings are up 70 percent this year, following a particularly violent week that saw 19 people shot on Tuesday and Wednesday alone.

“It’s extremely frustrating,” Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said Thursday. “It is disheartening, but I am still resolved to continue to reduce violent crime in our city.”

That's what is happening at SPD, Duncan wasn't proactive as a patrol officer so she has made her department full of cowards who do little more than take reports, just like she did.

Where is the NAACP on this black on black bloodbath going on in not only Baltimore but Chicago and every other big city in this country.
The NAACP needs to hang their putrid heads in shame. There was never more a waste of oxygen then the NAACP. Yeah they are advancing colored people all right- right into the ground dead.

Where is the outrage by the black activist the black church pastors-though I use the title "pastor" lightly since there are very very few real black church leaders. 99.9 percent are imposters.

Oh wait there wasn’t any whites involved you bottom feeders need to wake up see how the democrats keep you bound in your cesspool of entitlement by a false racist narrative.

Baltimore is a city where social engineers moved people out of the projects into white suburban neighborhoods on the theory that people who hang around bad people act bad, while people who are around peaceful people act peacefully? News flash! The experiment didn’t work. White flight was almost instantaneous and bad behavior quickly ensued and the search for scapegoats began. It was whites fault, the police's fault, everyone's else fault because blacks aren't intellectually capable of grasping the concept of personal responsibility.

The key word is “parents.” Seventy percent of black women are not married and it is just a coincidence that 70% of all black children are fatherless. Where are all the black fathers? They’re the players trolling for fresh teenager meat to mount and make more babies they won't father.

most of you keep getting distracted and forget what the riots were all about in the first place. seems like you're ok with murders as long as the police are the one committing them?

post 10:35 you need to look at your women they are all over our community looking for black men the ones that don't live in the community come in to got sex and go back home to you.

You can try taking the focus off the murderous Police all want. People kill were they live 83% of white people are murdered by white people. All these people when caught go to jail not set free like the police.

Cowards 9:24? lol you are the joke. Try going to work outnumber 2000 to 1 to have everything you do analyzed to the enth degree by people who know nothing about your job. Why would any officer go out of his way to be treated like crap just for showing up when you called?
