'Baltimore’s collapse should have served as a warning of what not to do, and yet the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 simply encouraged more Democratic cities to embrace the same failed strategy Baltimore has embraced for years.' -ZacharyFaria
David Simon, the creator and executive producer for The Wire who spent over a decade working as a journalist in Baltimore, dismissed the left-wing activist idea that people who want “law and order” are all secret racists.“The only people I hear arguing that all policing is oppression or that any effort to maintain any law or order, are never people trying to raise families, or reside or work in West Baltimore or Eastside or Pimlico or Cherry Hill,” Simon said.
A very flawed, majority-white BPD nonetheless solved 70 pecent of its slayings thirty years ago, and in a city of 730,000, 230-40 people died. Now, better integrated, led by commanders of color, it solves 13 percent in a city of 590,00; 330-50 are slain. Not everything is race. https://t.co/Ksjj3IlVYw
