Homicide Rates Have Dramatically Increased In Big Cities

[The Hammer]

Police in Baltimore are backing off due to their fear of the mainstream media smearing and publicly degrading them for simply doing their job.

So now anarchy reigns.

New Orleans, Chicago and Baltimore homicide has increased, how is this news again?

You have to take into account, that police and the government both federal and state mess with the numbers, cooking the books so to say. There's ways to make the crime rate go up or down. Homicide rates are a better determinant, but they can cook those too. Chicago this year is legit popping off, as is B-More.

Baltimore needs gun laws.

baltimore/washington d.c. area has some of the toughest gun laws in the country.

YES YES YES, they also enforce their no loitering corners to excess. Like to a huge degree, leads to a lot of ***** beating and arrests. But not much change, because when you do that, you're letting half of em go.

Baltimore is an outlier.

The homicide numbers of NYC, LA, and Chicago are all much lower now then they were in the 80's and 90's.

This is not to say that violence is not an issue/problem.

But stuff like this is the type of the sky is falling splash shit that social media and cable news networks make their ratings on.

Why they call it Chiraq these days then?

IT is, it has blowback in Milwaukee where I live too. People are getting hit in Chicago these days. For a variety of reasons, but mainly drugs.

There was a lot of pharmacy's looted(go figure) during riots in Baltimore. http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2015/0...in-city-crime/ IMO those homicides correlate to drug feuds more than the lack of police. You are giving American Police way too much credit. American Police usually don't take the time to solve real crimes as much in America anymore because they are too busy using asset forfeiture and revenue generating.
