Sounds racist to me. I’ll bet the trial was fraught with microaggressions, triggers and no safe space. Think we should probably ban the NFLs penalty flag..
No, not even close.
Actually, New Orleans has a higher murder rate than Baltimore. For 2015 New Orleans is ranked number 9 and Baltimore is ranked number 13.
