This July 30, 2015 picture shows a blighted home in west Baltimore. Murders are spiking again in Baltimore, three months after Freddie Gray’s death in police custody sparked riots. This year’s monthly bloodshed has twice reached levels unseen in a quarter-century. In May, Baltimore set a 25-year high of 42 recorded killings. After a brief dip in June, the homicide is soaring again. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)

OMG. If I was a white police officer, I would quit. Let black patrol blacks. That way it would be their own kicking their ass. Negros account for 50% of homicides. They are more criminal than any other race. It’s a fact not racism. I think the people screaming against white cops should not call the white cop to your house when you need them. Request a black cop. You might be waiting a while as there are not that many black cops and that’s not racist either. Not to many graduate or have a clean record to be able to work for the police department. Truth.
