#1 Well that statistic will help attract much needed private investment.

Interesting that she is confident the police will reverse the situation. I was expecting an urgent request for more money to reverse the accelerated crime rate.

#4 Expected, based on her anti-police statements, but still disheartening.

#5 In times like this, you find out that the police are in it for Justice. As in 'Just us'.

#6 Didn't she order the police to Stand Down?

WTF did she think would happen?

Ahhh... A democrat... Thinking doesn't come into the picture.

#9 All they need to do is bring in a few truckloads of jobs and the problem will be solved! /duh

#10 You're assuming that the folks causing the trouble are actually looking for a new job.

#11 SOP for the Left. Heap a big serving of hate on the people who stand between you and the real barbarians. When the real barbarians show up, you act surprised. Happens when your world view is made up of fantasies that tug at your heartstrings but bear no relationship to 4000 years of real human history/behavior.

#12 Any idiot could have predicted this. So naturally she is surprised. Cops are being shot and then spoken to as if they are the problem. Criminals are being allowed to vent and loot and being told they are innocent victims. Politicians are parsing the term Thug as if that makes a difference.

Of course crime has gone up, and I bet the cops find it twice as difficult to arrest anyone as the thugs know the cops are on their best behavior and probably told to let folks escape if the other option is brutally taking them down and risking outrage.

#13 If I were a cop in Baltimore my resume would be floating around Texas at this point.

#14 It's to the Baltimore police credit that they don't have an epidemic of blue flu.

#15 The don
t have to have blue flu, they already havce an epidemic of "by-the-bookitis" and advanced seat-adhesions in the patrol units. EndOfWatch (EOW) means going home, and crime rate is not their problem anymore. Welcome to the workers paradise of equal outcomes for all....except the party members (as in Democrat politicians and fellow travelers)

#16 If you are a black, female, telegenic, well spoken politician, riding the 2016 democrat party bandwagon of "income inequality" and social justice warrior will take you far, Baltimore is just one of many launch pads. Look at California's next Senator and her resume, but besides a paltry record of accomplishment beyond looking good according to the current President, what else matters?

#17 No end in sight. This will be replayed in many other black communities and is now but not reported. Like the riots back in the 60's. Just ignorance and pure hate. They are the race haters now and always have been in my opinion. Basically we have no go zones now. Those of other races must avoid these areas at all costs. They are targets now. Where are the so called black leaders now. We know what the solution is but they will go down the road of more hate and destruction.
The Legion is having a convention in The Inner harbor. The 97th. Welcome to beautiful Baltimore the friendly city.

#18 You and that president are the reason and problem, you dumb Bitch.
