BRIT HUME: ‘Baltimore’s Problem Isn’t Cops It’s Crime Infested Black Communities’
Brit Hume slams Baltimore’s mayor in this epic monologue. The left isn’t gonna like this one.
BRIT HUME: In announcing that she’s calling in the Justice Department to investigate her own police department. Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said that despite major progress already made, quote, Baltimore continues to have a fractured relationship between the police and the community.
By community she means the mostly black, crime and drug infested areas of the inner city. Her entire emphasis, like that of the Obama administration is on reforming the police. The idea that the people in the community need to do any reforming is never mentioned
But as Jason Riley of the Wall Street Journal has noted, blacks account for roughly 13% of the U.S. population but commit about half the murders, and are charged with violent crime at a rate twice to three times their share of the population. The major contributors to these grim statistics are young black men of the sort we watched throwing rocks and bricks at the police last week.
