It has not been an easy past six years for the #Baltimore #Police Department. They are now on their fifth #commissioner in that time frame (Frederick Bealefeld, Anthony Batts, Kevin Davis, Darryl #DeSousa, and Gary Tuggle), and have watched #homicide rates challenge historic marks each of the past three years. Add to that the killings and assaults of #unarmed Black residents, the most prominent of which led to #riots and a #Justice Department #consent #decree between 2015-6, and one might be forgiven for assuming that #police-community #relations have been strained in Baltimore, especially its inner-city neighborhoods, well beyond reasonable repair. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But StayUp.News’s coverage of Baltimore’s predominantly Black, inner-city communities suggested we should not be so quick to rush to that conclusion. Anecdotally, we understood that many residents, especially those that are engaged in the city’s civic life—whether through #politics or neighborhood associations or even simply homeownership—tended to express a desire for good relations with the police, but also a reliance upon them. These residents tend to be older, with significant financial investments (such as a home) in the #city, and so they have a stake in the functioning of its #institutions, like the Baltimore Police Department. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But we have also heard statements from persons, themselves engaged in #illegal #street activities, that gave us pause as to our #assumptions about the way “the community” feels about its police. The following clips all involve persons who are either #drug dealers or #gang members, discussing the issue of policing in Baltimore: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ StayUp.News ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://bit.ly/2L1Of8j
