One hundred people have been killed in Baltimore this year, a grim milestone that has come faster than in previous years. The city could be headed for its most violent year this decade.
The pace of killing is faster than last year, when 71 people were killed by this time. The number of homicides last reached 100 by late May in 2007; the city reached that number on July 4 last year.
Mayor Stephanie RawlingsBlake on Thursday called the violence "disheartening."

It appears that the cops have a catch phrase of their own:
Hands Off....Go Shoot and Loot!
Who can blame them after the way they have been treated ....
