Because they commit the most violent crimes. Fighting over a piece of gutter to sell their crap. People breeding haphazardly generating new hood rats to replace those killed in mindless gang warfare. You can call it racist all you want but that is reality.
I know a lot of people who escaped from that violent society who are awesome productive people.
You said they kill with impunity. Can you prove it? Why are so many blacks in prison if they can kill with impunity? Why have you resorted to insulting the black community? Why are you pulling the " I have a black friend" card?

Because it’s true. Baltimore is murder capital USA. The police are letting it happen because the hood rats kill with impunity.
In civilized cities, murderers are arrested and imprisoned. Baltimore gives the appearance of being lawless because of idiot local politicians.

The two state prosecutors who committed misconduct — Anne Kaczmarek and Kris Foster — both worked under then-Massachusetts attorney general Martha Coakley, and have since left their positions for other jobs in state government.
Baltimore, to this day is still extremely racially segregated due to the legacies of racist housing and transportation policies that have negatively affected the black community. For years and years and years the wealthiest white communities in and around Baltimore had contracts flat out stipulating that you could not sell homes to black people or that they could not rent in specific neighborhoods. Transportation in Baltimore was built around black neighborhoods to avoid them which made it even harder to escape poverty and to find jobs even if members in the black community wanted to obtain legitimate employment. It's extremely difficult to climb out of the gutter after being enslaved for 200 years when A.) your family wasn't allowed to do so and B.) you grow up with generational poverty as a result.
Unlike most other cities, Baltimore also isn't allowed to collect taxes on commuters who come into the city for work and also isn't allowed to receive tax from their metro area. Baltimore is actually the largest single independent city in the entire United States and it's literally impossible for the city to grow because of some 19th and old 20th century laws.
Unlike most other cities' police departments, the BPDis a state agency. The city is literally not allowed to govern its police force very effectively nor is it allowed to manage pensions etc. because the state controls it. The only thing the mayor really gets to do is pick a police commissioner and that's about it - that was after a huge fight in the state legislatures in the 70s just to get the mayor that limited amount of power. This was because the racist and anti-Catholic Know Nothing Party had control back in the day and ran a corrupt city in which 20-30 people were murdered (mostly naturalized citizens) during elections. The state had to come in and take over.
Baltimore is what you get when you enact decades of racism and redlining that leads to wide economic disparities that are literally impossible to break away from. But according to people who know nothing about Baltimore, the entire history of Baltimore doesn't matter and everyone should be easily able to bootstrap themselves out of crushing poverty, vioolence, and extraordinarily obtuse government from its racist legacy on a whim.

So what you are implying is that they don't need to be held responsible for their actions because racism? They don't know right from wrong? They are kids throwing a huge temper tantrum by committing violence?

Who ever said that people who don't break the law don't need to be punished? I didn't, but you certainly seem to have assumed that.
So what you're also implying is that the entire set of systemic problems with Baltimore have absolutely 0 to do with its history? And racism has nothing to do with shaping Baltimore's history and current predicament? Come on, you don't really think decades of literally making it impossible for black folk to move to better areas via racist covenants has nothing to do with concentrating poverty and making it more difficult to obtain wealth that's passed down ?
But most of all, it was the sense of community that attracted her family to the Towson neighborhood — where, she says, you can’t live long without getting to know your neighbors. So Auburn was disturbed to discover a piece of Rodgers Forge history that remains in its legal records.“No person of any race other than the white race shall use or occupy any building on any lot,” states a local housingcovenant, a document that is attached to the deeds of some homes in Rodgers Forge.
The form, from the late 1940s, provides an exception: “This covenant shall not prevent occupancy by domestic servants of a different race domiciled with an owner or tenant.”
Auburn, a fiscal administrator for Baltimore County, is an American of Indian descent. When she learned her neighborhood was built on such agreements — and that they’re still part of the legal paperwork of many of its homes — she was “shocked.”
“Why is it 2017 and this thing is still on the books?” she asked.
You can't possibly be that dense can you? Imagine if the government built infrastructure specifically around your neighborhoods to avoid you because you were white or the better off parts of states and towns made it impossible to own a home in those areas even if you could afford it simply because you were white. Let's see you still argue that you should bootstrap your way out of poverty. We've been locking up people for decades and what has it accomplished? Virtually nothing. The cycle of poverty continues and we keep creating generations of fatherless homes. But let me guess - your argument is some flimsy notion that black people have a 'ghetto culture' in which they'd much prefer selling drugs and murdering people rather than having a chance at a stable middle class life? Yeah sure, because people grow up wanting to be a drug dealer on the corner by the time they're 12 so that they can be dead by 19. Good grief.
