Unlike Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanual, Baltimore’s mayor is basically begging for help from the FBI as her city’s murder rate spirals out of control ahead of what is typically the most violent months of the year. Per CBS Baltimore:
“I’m calling on all the assistance we can possibly get because I can’t imagine going into our summer months with our crime rate where it is today, what that’s going to look like by the end of the summer,” says Mayor Catherine Pugh.
“Murder is out of control,” says Pugh.
“We are looking for all the help that we can get,” she says.
According to data from the Baltimore Sun, violence in the city has reached a crisis level, with the number of killings shattering a 20-year high for the first 4 months of 2017. At the current run rate, 2017 homicides in Baltimore could surpass 400 for the first time since at least 1990.
