Too many officers in prison?

TLDR: Mayor’s Christmas Parade through Hampden may be postponed because the City says it doesn’t have enough police officers due to a Ravens game at the same time.

Edit: Mike Ricci, spokesman for the Hogan admin, says on Twitter the state is willing to assist if the City wants. https://twitter.com/riccimike/status/1595442255652855808?s=46&t=8Be5aO9-Xac5rECl0bPNPA

This thread contains a link to an article from FOX 45 Baltimore (WBFF), a station owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group.

At times, that which has been produced and broadcast by FOX Baltimore has ranged from misleading at best to disinformation at worst - including it (and all other Sinclair-owned stations) being required to run scripted packages by their owners while masquerading said packages as journalism or as station PSAs.

Posters and readers are encouraged to utilize alternative sources from reputable media outlets, or to be cautious when reading or viewing that which has been published from FOX Baltimore and other Sinclair-owned outlets.

Its a generational thing. This whole narrative traces back hundreds of years, but the recent threads have been - poor blacks working labor jobs, the industry died, the whites fled, the city ripped out their streetcars and means of getting around, and they were still here. So they turned to what was left - drugs and crime. The violence was less prominent in the start of the decline because the transition was slow. Jobs gradually lost, people gradually left. The ones who stayed were the ones who participated, enabled, or profited from the emerging culture of violence. It consumes everything else until its all that is left. Kids today are born 5+ generations into this shit.

tons of the choir people in liberal churches are Jewish lol it's a running joke. when we go up to take communion like 80% of them cross their arms and take a blessing instead

He's the man. Love when he asks about my ancestry when he sees the name on my cc

I sent it as a message because it contained all the data from our blocks efforts to slow traffic down I can copy that into the DM

Hey there! We're not seeing a DM from you, can you try sending it to us again? Just sent you a DM to confirm.

I replied to your other post about traffic problems around Caton Avenue and Benson Avenue. I also sent you the reference number for the traffic calming request. Our block group monitored the traffic accidents on Caton Avenue since the construction began at the new truck warehouse. No day had less than three accidents. This is terrible for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. May you please respond or at least look at the reference number. Our neighborhood can’t get any help since councilwoman Porter and her cadre came in, they support so many truck companies the streets are falling apart.

This needs to be stickied!

Seconding Mekong Delta, especially on a chilly fall day!

Yes, there's a due process requirement to give reasonably calculated notice to appraise interested parties of the action and give them an opportunity to present objections before any deprivation of property can occur.

I‘ve wanted to try shape note singing. Is it true that one doesn’t need any musical aptitude or ability to read music?

The sum total of your rebuttal to my claims is: "nuh-uh." You provide no data to support your positions, you flippantly disregard any actual evidence I point to, and you twist my words every chance you get. "Cops are bad" is an easy position to take, but there's a lot more nuance to this than it seems you're able to acknowledge.

I'm careening towards that cliché definition of insanity by trying again with some actual evidence and data, but here we go:

https://news.gallup.com/poll/316571/black-americans-police-retain-local-presence.aspx

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/10/police-reform-polls-white-black-crime.html

I don't know if 81% of black Americans saying they want police to spend the same amount or more time in their neighborhoods can be considered "near-universal", but this is America, so 81% agreement on anything is pretty damn conclusive. I've tried to find any polling that says a majority of black Americans want less police and less police funding. I can't find anything that says that because the opposite is true. Pew research found 76% of black Americans want more or the same police funding. Explain to me exactly how this is cherry picked.

Also, if policing can do absolutely nothing to reduce homicides, how do you explain the fact that BPD pulled back in 2015 and murders skyrocketed? Baltimore is neither the first nor the last city to experience very similar trends. Also, how do explain the fact that homicides plummeted in NYC in the 90s and inequality arguably just got worse? The evidence is clear that solving poverty is not as clean of a solution to crime as you think it is.

Fun fact: when it snows, we salt the roads with Old Bay for that extra spicy commute. /s

Pitamore is good and quick if you’re into that.

Patisserie Poupon

Next Phaze Cafe is pretty good. Songs Chicken is cheap and fast but kind of hard to find.

I mean a scrap yard doesn’t really seem like a good fit for that area anyways. I understand they have been there for a long time, but areas and neighborhoods change. I’m sure there is property on the outer edges of the city that is probably much more suitable for a scrap yard than a couple blocks from Harbor Point.

Yeah 7-10 is the best time to get some drinks and talk.

For that time slot, my vote deff goes to Magerks on a Sunday or Rowhouse on Friday or Saturday.

I can’t read the article, but I thought in rem action was extraordinarily slow, even by judicial standards. Isn’t it like a property bankruptcy, where anyone with a potential stake in the property needs to be notified and given the opportunity to be heard?
