HORROR IN BALTIMORE – ART 9:33 A.M. ET:  Remember Baltimore?  It got some news coverage last year when the national press thought it could stick it to the police there.  Then, when the cops charged in an officer-involved death were all acquitted, the national press went home, leaving a demoralized police force to try to save the city.  It's not working out very well.  From CBS:

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore sees multiple deadly shootings in just a matter of hours. It was a burst of violence that forced the commissioner to make a drastic move today.

All uniformed officers will be on mandatory 12-hour shifts, as the city hustles to control the crime.

Ava-joye Burnett reports the violence spilled over from the night into broad daylight today.

After a violent night, the police department announced a plan on how to address this problem, as the Police Commissioner was angered by the violence.

The violence in Baltimore started Monday evening and lasted through the night. It spilled over into the middle of Tuesday and by the end of it all, at least 12 people had been shot and at least six dead.

The victims include a 28-year-old man killed during a drug dispute on Bentalou Street, a 37-year-old woman killed in a bullying incident on Gertrude street and a man and woman– both in their twenties, killed during a quadruple shooting on Bonaparte Ave.

The police commissioner didn’t hold back or temper his tone.

“Quite frankly it pisses off the community, it angers us, it frustrates us,” says Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin Davis.

COMMENT:  But who cares, right?  See any interest by "Black Lives Matter"?  See former President Obama rush to the city to help calm things?  Hey, Reverend Al Sharpton, where've you been?

No TV cameras, no interest.  What a farce.  Baltimore has many great qualities, swallowed up by senseless violence.
