45 Homicides In July Becomes Baltimore’s Deadliest Since 1972

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The deadliest month in more than four decades. Forty-five homicides for the month of July in Baltimore.

Tracey Leong explains how leaders are working to make the streets safer.

The surge in homicides and violent crimes has city and community leaders on high alert–desperate for change.

Homicides in Baltimore rise to 45 in July–a gruesome statistic, making it the deadliest on record since 1972.

“This is ridiculous. People are just dying for nonsense stuff,” said Rhonda Miller.

July is the second time this year killings have spiked above 40, with the month of May totaling 41.

“I don’t want my baby out here. Something might happen to her by somebody else’s default,” said Miller.

Rhonda Miller lives near Springhill Avenue, where a 59-year-old man was fatally shot in the chest and leg Friday morning.

“It’s not even meaningful anymore. People are dying today and you’re like that’s just another statistic and you just keep it moving,” said Miller.

Memorials are becoming an all too familiar sight in Baltimore. Reverend Keith Bailey says the way to end this bloodshed is to come together.

“Get out here on the streets and help. The police can’t do it all. The mayor can’t do it all. The community has to come together on one accord,” he said.

I've posted this before. I watched the "cop shows". They'd chase a suspect into 'certain' neighborhoods, or go there to serve a warrant, and the family and neighbors, men, women, old women,  would come out in the street and confront the officers, and it would get very dangerous for the cops. They'd tell them to leave, it is THEIR neighborhood. These SAME POS are the ones that will get in front of a camera and LIE when something happens, and say the cops don't care about them and won't patrol their neighborhoods.
