I feel sorry for the mayor of Baltimore, Brandon Scott, that he chooses to define “another year of incredible progress for our city” in a year-end police department report on homicides.
It’s true, we aren’t killing each other as much as we used to. For years, the city’s homicides topped 300. In 2024, the number dropped to 194. Last year, 131.
Applause, applause.
But 131 is still far too many…
