Black American residents of Baltimore, Maryland, are now blaming a lower police presence for the city’s soaring murder rate despite three years of Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists insisting that police be pulled from their neighborhoods.
Baltimore has now experienced higher murder rates for three years in a row after riots and BLM-sponsored protests began rocking the city after the death of Freddie Gray, a suspect who died in police custody in the spring of 2015, National Public Radio (NPR) reported.
Since the riots, police morale has collapsed, and city officials began planning a lighter police footprint in response to complaints of residents and protest leaders.
But now, black leaders are blaming cops for the spiraling murder rate, saying that the police pullback has put them in danger.
The Rev. Kinji Scott, a Baltimore activist, is blaming city hall for leaving the neighborhoods unprotected.
Despite the loud proclamations from BLM activists that the police are the problem, Scott and his fellow activists are now claiming that they never wanted police to go away.

Did you not think about the ramifications of pulling the PO PO from your neighborhoods? NO
Did you not think the epidemic (crime) would increase with the lack of law enforcement in your area? NO
Did you even think? NO
Well then, we cannot help you any more!
Your neighborhood, your problem, homie.
Yes, I do not remember the communities standing up to BLM then so stuff it now.
the black residents of Baltimore are getting exactly what they deserve. when they made a saint out of that POS freddie gray and busted and burned the city up they showed their true colors. They are not human beings. They are garbage and not one is worth a damn. Keep on killing each other. It's a great day when one dies and their is one less waste of air on this earth.
It just gives the world a notion of how poorly forward thinking the "leaders" of Baltimore are. They think no farther than the political expediency required to keep them in office.
The voting public in the city has choices, but so far they have been poor ones, always gravitating toward untested Democrats who promise the world but deliver Hell on Earth, while laughing all the way to the bank, arm in arm with their co-conspirators, among them the likes of BLM and NAACP, just to name a couple. These are leaders, yes, but they lead to the total demise of the city, its business footprint, and its population.
Wake UP, Baltimore!!
Yipes. You mean choosing your representation based upon Race doesn't make things better? Well, guess what? Things are better to those you elected.
"Rev. Kinji Scott"??? This is one of the problems right here. There are little to no real black pastors or even churches. Many can quote scripture all day long but very few walk the walk. Very few will ever call out the bad behavior that is the root cause of any and all black social problems. They are fake Christians and that is why they are suffering God's punishment. Pretending to be a Christian is far far worse in His eyes then not being one at all. Until they decide to get to God in a real way they will suffer the consequences of following the devil's path.
democrats created Baltimore and they can have it. When they say they want a ‘conversation’ they mean they want to lecture and demonize those that don’t agree with their progressive victim fetish
It's Baltimore...who cares
Just for a moment imagine if your resume included anything regarding the Baltimore City Government. You'd be immediately eliminated from consideration.
Sucks to be YOU Baltimore, yes it does!
Just glad the bay is too wide to swim.
why don't they go burn down another pharmacy to get warm, then they can go to hell and stay warm.
1:47 We can always rely on you with the same comment. Do you quote the scriptures also?
See what happens when guns laws are so strict? People can't legally take care of themselves. So what do they do, they expect the government to take care of them all by design. Keep cheering. Police respond to take a report you are your best defense.
