Hours after Baltimore's mayor huddled with police officials to discuss the recent spike in violence, two more people were killed Monday — making May the city's deadliest month since 1999.
The two homicides increased this month's total to 35. There have been 108 homicides across the city this year.
"It's deplorable," said City Councilman William "Pete" Welch. "The shootings and killings are all over the city. I don't think any part of the city is immune to this. I've never seen anything like it."
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is "disheartened and frustrated by this continuing violence, particularly when you think about the progress that the city has made," said her spokesman, Howard Libit.
The mayor met for nearly two hours Sunday with Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts and members of his command staff about adjustments police are making. "She is confident that the steps being taken by the Police Department will quell this latest uptick in violence," Libit said.

Aw, c’mon Stevie, ya gotta give ‘em ROOM! Cheer up, things are about to get a lot worse and you’re to blame...idiot.
A bizarre way of population control.
I thought the police were the problem. Now with the police too frightened to enforce the law, there shouldn’t be any black crime, right?
If I were a Baltimore cop I would sit in my car and eat my donuts.
Screw them.
These daze, even a cop in his car is not safe from the thugs and savages.

It’s really too bad that the mayor and the egotistical DA haven’t been the targets of the thugs they love and protect.
Now they’re upset with the police and the “racism” stuff so they...kill each other??
Yup, good old BaltoMordor
They are still a bunch of amateurs and wannabes.
