Where can I contribute to this hero’s medical bills?

Thanks so much!

If only there was some way they could use $500 million to hire more cops... If only there was $ome way to incentivize people to do become police officer$...

It's a matter of staffing. So this is overtime, and finding officers who want to work overtime isn't easy, so they end up drafting people. And the issue is that as the number of cops has dropped, it's not like the number of posts needed has changed. There needs to be a bigger discussion around BPD not being available to staff all of the traffic posts.

True. Anytime I’m in the area, really. Parking is so bad down there, so jury duty is the perfect excuse. Also Shake Shack.

As soon as I saw the url I knew it was going to be alarmist

How much do the Ravens pay the BPD for security every game?

They’ll still rip you off with the transponder. Went through exactly two tolls this past February and was charged $75 three times in the shortest month of the year. Still haven’t heard a peep about it almost a year later. Considering it a lost cause at this point

Also, on a hot summer day.

No one here is being sensitive, but your pointless and obvious comment is just a senseless refrain and nothing more. We all know there are a lot of murders here. But they’re a symptom of larger problems. One of the main factors is social inequity. Improving transit for the poorest people improves their quality of life, which in turn decreases poverty, and lowers crime rates. Bringing up the murders in this city any other issue is even slightly tackled is just stale and pointless.

Private police force and security for an event are different. Please drop the strawman argument

Fair enough, I misread your comment. I apologize.

It’s really not going to be welcome in the coming years once the redevelopment of Perkins Homes is complete and people move back in.

This is BBJ. Does the Sun own them?

It would be pretty awesome to have the water taxi run up the canal into the central part of the city.

omg this is gonna make me cry I’m hit with this craving weekly. Been wondering if pizza underground would scratch the itch?!

Idiot racks up $3,000 E-ZPass bill, shocked when he gets a $3,000 E-ZPass bill.

This person went months without paying their bill. Made no attempt to pay their bill. Looked up their bill, still didn't pay it, then gets upset when they send the bill.

Tangent, but today I went through the Fort McHenry tunnel, and a woman in a black BMW SUV with Maryland tags stopped at the booth. Like.... Ma'am. You should know good and damn well by now that cash tolls are gone. The signage is clear. And you know you don't have an EZPass, so that means you should have taken the scenic route through the city or 695, tf. She looked dumb as hell. This was not a late model car, and those plates looked old like they have been around a long time.

That said... People should just get their EZPasses from other states. I have zero problems, and I'd rather deal with the NY EZPass customer service in Queens or on Long Island or wherever they are now than pretend to save money with Maryland and their ridiculous EZPass program. Like this MD EZPass drama has been going on for too long... Disgraceful. Smh

12+ years with NY EZPass program. Zero issues.

My go to’s for jury duty are Mekong Delta and Shake Shack depending on my mood.

I've had Delaware easy pass for about 20 years now. It has been the easiest to use with 0 billing issues since day one. Transponders work just fine as well.

The city does not pay for the parade. It is put on by the community & business associations. Costs are covered through fund raising, donations, and volunteered time.

Calm down Scrooge. Clearly you’ve never been to this parade that lasts nearly 4 hours and is incredibly entertaining on a very low budget.

One of my favorite events! Remember Underdog Lady and getting into it with Satan-Claus! Great stuff! Check out Atomic TV’s holiday episode! https://youtu.be/BDDv5ndE98U Edit: fixed auto-correct error

It could be there just aren’t enough cops to cover both events. I know they’ve had staffing issues, not sure if that’s the case but it’s possible.
