I live just outside of Baltimore (outside of Oldhag1, I wonder where the rest of those posting in this forum live?), and yes, since Grey, not only has the Baltimore PD been reluctant to do their job for what ever reason, violent crimes have gone through the roof.
My guess is that nearly all participating in this thread have no knowledge of this, but Baltimore is simultaneously the most awesome city in the U.S. and the most screwed up.
Colorado transplant from Howard County. Our family attended a downtown church while we lived there, and we were friends with people in Baltimore city government. I couldn't agree more with the bolded statement above.
Look at the white officer on the right during minutes: 1.56 - 2:00 of the video.
He is grinning (it's a little subtle, but he seems happy w/ the current state of affairs).
Grinning? He looks bored to tears. I was waiting for a grin and it never appeared. What are you looking for? The monsters who raped, killed and burn the girl are behind bars, the commissioner is reporting about it and you are looking for an imaginary boogie man?
Your neighborhoods are being taken over by gangs and this is all you got?
You'll be calling white Charles Bronson soon as it is starting to look like a Death Wish movie.
Will there ever be a day on City Data forum where posters create threads based on the crime alone, without having to resort to other things like race just to 'prove' their usual arguments about how the 'liberal' media is biased against black on white crime and the sort?
The crime mentioned in the OP is heinous enough to comment on and has nothing to do with race.
Excuse you, the riots in Baltimore are an excuse to blame the white man. The riots in Ferguson are an excuse to blame the white man. You think people on City Data came up with "black lives matter"?
No, they did not.
What you are seeing are people responding to these excuses to blame the white man, and the chant, "black lives matter". It makes you uncomfortable, clearly, but that's too bad. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.

Dude, don't you get it? He's a cop and these days it's fashionable to blame cops for all life's ills.

This is so awful. I feel for children who grow up in communities where gangs are seen as normal and gang members are seen as anything other than people to be avoided. That poor girl. Its sad that she wasn't able to see that these men where monsters and that despite being friendly to her they saw her as no different than all of the other people they have no doubt victimized. The fact that she was 16 in college meant she was at least a bright girl trying to make something of herself.
She wasn't in college- the name of the high school is just Baltimore City College. Dumb, I know.
Exactly, for some reason the bold part really angers a lot of people. I just don't understand why not viewing all cops as good people makes you a cop hater. You would think that the power and authority involved in being a police officer would be a draw to very bad people and mentioning it wouldn't be controversial. Instead you have people saying this is what the black community deserves for speaking out against bad cops.
Couldn't agree more. Its not any worse than saying there are bad teachers, doctors, mothers, garbagemen, waiters etc. Its a fact.
