One inaccuracy in the article refers to the Freddy Gray case in Baltimore. It refers to "Police opposed the prosecutions, and many began to do their jobs passively in protest." Police were ordered to stand down. From.the.mayor's.office.
Also, the culture there is still very much not to snitch. Most victims there know their killers. Many are killed in view of witnesses, and others know exactly who killed who. But they wont talk about it. They fear and distrust each other and the police.
- yardie 7y agoBaltimore is its own kind of nuts. Where every man has to be for themself. You have the gangs looking for you, you have the police looking for you, and then you have the corrupt police working for gangs looking for you. The safest thing you can do is keep your mouth shut. Whatever you say is eventually going to find it’s way back to someone who wants to hurt you. I blame this on the war on drugs. The risk and reward from the drug trade has gotten so high that a human life isn’t worth much. Distributing pays well. Getting a life sentence from being caught is the risk. So, in a dealers mind, taking life to prevent theirs from being taken is justified.
