Quote:Baltimore to flood streets with police after rash of killings
Quote:Baltimore police will put more officers on the street to battle a surge in killings that included six homicides in seven hours this week, part of a wave of deadly violence not seen in the port city in years, authorities said on Tuesday.
Patrol officers and detectives will go on 12-hour shifts through the weekend, instead of the normal 10-hour stints, and all other officers will be placed in squad cars or on foot patrols, Police Commissioner Kevin Davis said.
Because any criminal is going to wait until a cop is present before killing someone. I imagine this will do a lot for police overtime and a put a big hole in the city budget. The problem is not putting more cops on the street the problem is getting guns off the street.
Makes me super glad I moved out of B'more 20 years ago.
