Baltimore’s Record Murder Rate Forces Mayor To Beg Trump For Federal Help
http://washingtonfeed.com/baltimore...es-mayor-to-beg-trump-for-federal-help-2.html
According to newly-elected Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, the murder rate in her city is “out of control” and she wants the federal government to come in and fix it, caused by the turmoil allowed by her predecessor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who famously said that society needed to give rioters the space to destroy their own communities.
Baltimore has had more murders in the first four months of the year than during the same time period of any year going back nearly 20 years. The number of murders in Baltimore so far this year is 101. That’s up 30 percent from last year.
As if the city’s skyrocketing murder rate weren’t high enough, though, Baltimore also now has another problem on its hands. During the 2000s, there were always at least 2,900 police officers on the Baltimore Police Department’s payroll. Today, that number is 2,500.
They actually have the audacity to ask the FBI to come intervene, while holding on to their sanctuary policies and crying foul about the government cutting funding to them because of their illegal city policies.
