Baltimore Residents Blaming Murder Increase on Lack of Police After BLM Protesters Demanded Pullback

[Revmitchell]

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.

Minorities seem to want it both ways. Don't work that way.

I think everyone wants it both ways

What black people that demanded pullback are now blaming lack of presecence? Name them.

Typical Mitch and his Breitbart race baiting garbage.

Anybody with any sense saw this coming from the beginning.

It's always somebody else's fault.

It's the white man's fault that there was crime, so they had to bring in the police. It's the police's fault that somebody got killed, so they had to make the police leave. Now, it's the police's fault that crime has gone back up.

There was a time when black communities policed themselves and this would NEVER have happened. And then, the Democrats got ahold of them.

When was this great self policing time you speak of?

Not really. I dealt with this junk for many years. Never once did the white community leaders protest l.e. presence. Black community did it constantly. They also constantly complained about the high crime rates in their community compared to the white areas.

The black community protests it not because they are being treated unfairly but because they do not like many laws enforced. Many want to be able to stand on the corner smoking pot and they don'w want no cops around to stop them. Just one example.

Wow that was blatantly racist and without any factual basis.

They got what they wanted and now they're whining about it.

As someone once said, "Let them eat cake."
