Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:

There is no violent crime in Baltimore.  And when I say “no,” I mean there is a certain amount, but violent crime definitely is not out of control and besides, it’s much worse in at least one other city.

Plus, following the Freddie Grey incident in which a Black man died in police custody whereupon a Black prosecutor wasted millions of taxpayer dollars on trials of police officers for crimes they didn’t commit, the police stopped arresting Black men and since then, not one Black man has died in police custody.  So Baltimore has that going for it.  Which is nice.

Maybe Ray Dehn was right after all…
