Comment Clearly, you've never been to Bmore (Score 1) 547
They have been trying to expand the Police here since O'Malley came into office pushing his Giuliani styled Zero-Tolerance policy, even going so far as to bring in Ed Norris as police com. There have been some postings of stats on the crime here in Bmore, but they are actually lower in many circumstances now than in '98 (last ones I saw posted).
But clearly you've never been in Bmore. Homicide rate of almost one person dead a day, Herion Capital of the Eastern Seaboard, and a fleeing middle class has made the War on Crime quite real for us citizens here.
Increasing the Police force too has it set backs. Residents in some neighborhoods here COMPLAINED at the number of patrol cars and bike cops in their communities because it gave the feeling that it wasn't safe there...
Plus the parent makes it sound like there is this magical pool of Police Officers out there, that if you got the funds, you can summon '50 to you. I've seen adds in the Baltimore Sun for LA Police department. No one wants to be a cop in these places.
Plus cameras could have saved these people http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/bal-te.md.f ire18oct18,0,6537531.story?coll=bal-local-storyuti l [www.baltimoresun.com]
