Recent History of Violence In Baltimore





[From article]
Let’s pick up the story from Baltimore Jewish Life:

“One 24-year-old African American female followed him and sucker punched him on the side of his head, swelling his lip and breaking his glasses. She continued to throw punches as Dr. Einbinder tried to swat her away.”
"I thought this was a 15-year old boy. She was half my size and just didn't appear to be a female. I kept asking her why she was doing this to me; I said, 'I didn't anything to you'! She spat on me and according to one witness, she said, "C'mon, fight me Jew.”
“The attacker originally told police that the doctor began the altercation but when witnesses contradicted her story she admitted to the police that she was "just having a bad day."
“He is also upset at the way the laws are written in that the officers on the scene were unable to arrest her even with the tens of witnesses to this attack on hand. Apparently an attack of this sort is considered a 2nd Degree Assault and unless witnessed by a Police Officer, and/or unless any type of weapon is used an arrest cannot be made.”
[. . .]
Last summer there was so much crime, so much video, so many people wondering why it was happening so often, that Governor O’Malley suggested that the new mayor might want to copy what he did to fight crime when he was mayor: Put more boots on the ground.
Not on my watch, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake told the Baltimore Sun:
"Returning to the days of mass arrests for any and every minor offense might be a good talking point but it has been proven to be a far less effective strategy for actually reducing crime.”
This came just a few months after Maryland legislator Pat McDonough called on the governor to declare downtown Baltimore a “No-Travel Zone” because of all the “black” people who were “terrorizing” the area.
[. . .]
The mayor did not like that advice either.
She had her own plan and it was working just fine: Just stop arresting people. When O’Malley was mayor, the city collared 100,000 miscreants a year. Last year, they nabbed 50,000.
This allows the Mayor to brag to anyone willing to listen that violent crime in Baltimore is down -- 45 percent since the year 2000.
[. . .]
When some readers observed that crime and violence in Baltimore was a black thing, others lashed out, demanding they stop “demonizing black people.”
[. . .]
And lots of letters from people who live in Baltimore pleading for someone to tell the truth about the constant violence in that once charming city.
“Growing up in Baltimore city can be hellish for white people,” said one of many correspondents. “Anyone who isn’t black is a target.”
[. . .]
So in Baltimore, police will not arrest black criminals. Juries will not convict them. And all over the country, more and more district attorneys are talking about an epidemic of witness tampering that also makes convictions problematic.
Toss in stitches for snitches, and that is the fourth reason why the black crime rate is artificially low.
[. . .]
And often very brutal, she said. That is what her award-winning drama is about. But it is often not reported because black people don’t want to air their racial business in front of white people.
[. . .]
Earlier this year, Chicago Magazine did a two-part story on how the police department deflates crime numbers.
So much so that the web site DNA Info reported that a Chicago police captain recently told a community group that he would not even talk about crime statistics: “You'll notice I didn't bring up stats," said Police Cmdr. Elias Voulgaris. "No one believes the stats.”
[. . .]
Down in New Orleans, crime stats were so ridiculously low that state and a city inspectors did an audit. Here’s the money quote from the WWLTV news:
"For the second time in three days, a watchdog agency is questioning the New Orleans Police Department's crime statistics. A report released Wednesday by the city's inspector general shows that some crimes aren't being classified as crimes at all.
[. . .]
Translation: When you ask, white people and black people report using cocaine in about the same amount. But when you test, black people are six times more likely to use cocaine. And lie about it.
