CNN: ‘Record Number of Homicides’ Reported over Holiday Weekend in Baltimore

MALVEAUX: "— to protect the community. That’s right, only responding to 911 calls, not engaging the community any further. And here’s what he told Miguel. I want you to watch this. Oh, I’m told we don’t have the sound. But essentially, what he tells Miguel is that they feel they don’t have the backing of their leadership, so they’re not going to put their officers at risk. They’re not going to put themselves at risk. They’re going to have each other’s back. And they’re afraid that if they go out and do something, they might get in trouble, if they are considered doing something too aggressive. So they are responding to the 911 calls, but they’re not going out and doing the traditional community policing they’ve been doing in the past. This is very disconcerting to folks in the community. So what are they doing? There was a group of residents over the weekend that marched, calling for peace. They went to city hall. Also, Brooke, we expect tomorrow morning, a pastor who was close to Freddie Gray’s family, Jamal Bryant, that he’s going to be out there as well because he says that the police department is no longer engaged with the community. And that they’ve got a problem because they don’t have the necessary funding for the Baltimore public schools. And summer is coming. The kids are going to be out. He says if we don’t address this now, it’s going to get a lot worse."
