Baltimore Officials Admit Change In Policing Played A Role In High Homicide Count

Baltimore’s state attorney and the city’s police commissioner admitted that police officers using heavy policing tactics in the past helped keep Baltimore’s murder count down.

Baltimore is currently struggling with one of its highest murder counts in years, something that could have been influenced by a change in policing tactics, State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby and Police Commissioner Kevin Davis implicitly acknowledged in an exclusive interview with the Baltimore Sun Wednesday.

Years ago, the city had tamped down on the violence and brought the homicides down to less than 200 in a year by using “heavy handed police tactics” that are now frowned upon, the two noted in the interview.

“There was a price to pay…that manifested itself in April and May of 2015,” Davis said, alluding to the Baltimore riots over Freddie Gray. “I think the long view is that doing it the right way is doing it the hard way, and I think most Baltimoreans realize that the way forward is not always going to be easy.”

Good for Baltimore, changing what works into what results in more crime. Glad they finally started caring about their city.

         Interesting meme.  Almost every thread on this forum has something to do with at least one of Isis, Trump, Obama, climate change or jobs, but you somehow managed to post this in a thread that has nothing to do with any of them.
