Violent Crime Is Down

If you listen to city officials speak, you hear much talk about crime being down by this percentage or that. Funny how we're not quite half way through the year and already some seek to claim victory. At this point, the numbers are mostly meaningless. Even if they are totally accurate, and even that is debatable. What, you actually believe everything your government tells you?

Still in the hood, the living ain't good. The violence continues.

By the way, what about the homicide closure rate? Any improvements there or are we still batting under .500 (that would be under 50% for you non baseball peeps)

From Baltimore Police Twitter (last 24 hours)

SHOOTING: 2100 SINCLAIR / 2000 CHESTER. ADULT MALE SHOT IN CRITICAL CONDITION. POLICE INVESTIGATING


SHOOTING: 308 N CARROLLTON AVE. ADULT FEMALE SHOT. POLICE INVESTIGATING

EDITORS NOTE: In the above tweet, the victim was pronounce dead on arrival. Didn't see that in the twitter feed did you?
