discourageded from joining the police, then you aren t going to end up having police in your cities. take a look across the nation. city homicides up year-to-date. you can look from las vegas, los angeles, philadelphia, houston, san francisco, minneapolis. this is just a sampling of the cities we pulled today. there are more. so this issue about even like a routine traffic stop total disregard for human life and the rule of law and respecting police. they pull you over, there might be a reason for that, ted. you know, you are absolutely right. there is a total disregard for life in some of these communities when it comes to law enforcement and the disrespect that these law enforcement officers are given. there is a clear solution, dana, and these are city officials need to have whatever it takes to bring police
I appreciate Paul Kersey s running tab of black-on-white murders (in the way I d appreciate cancer stats). However his May 11, 2021 piece is factually wrong on two counts.
First, 10 people weren t killed here during a cease-fire weekend. It was 10 over a week, Saturday May 1 through Friday May 8. This leftish lady keeps a running tab: 2021 Baltimore City Homicides - List
Second, Baltimore isn t 75% black; it only feels that way. It s 60-something-% black, 6-ish% Hispanic and about 25-6% white.
Revisit in a few years and 75% is feasible, as would be 10 homicides in a weekend.
Update, sent June 3, 2021:
Paul was just looking ahead. 11 people were killed here this past Friday through Monday.
