FYI, I've just posted a chart of the City's declining police manpower over the last 12 years. It's located on my blog, Baltimore B.

In another sign that Baltimore has some serious frickin' problems, the BCPD has had to recodify its arrest policies regarding very young children.

And the violence in Charm City keeps reaching new heights. The tourists will just love our group stabbings in Midtown.

Oops, another body floating in the Inner Harbor. Quick, hide it from the tourists, who suffer from the misapprehension that Baltimore is "an unsafe city with a high crime and murder rate".

In thororoughly unrelated news, one of its premier multiple murderers, Corey McMillon, gets off on a murder charge because the witness against him who saw it was himself shot in another incident while robbing a bank.

You truly cannot make this stuff up.

"... no signs of foul play...", "... no identification ...", and floating face-down in Baltimore's Innerharbor!

How can these three statements be in the same article?

by no signs of foul play, they probably mean the guy didn't have stabbing or gunshot wounds, no obvious marks on his hands, head, neck or chest, etc. no id on him may be indicative that he wanted to commit suicide or he was down and out and didn't possess ID (which is not uncommon in Bmore). a more nefarious scenario: he was robbed and pushed into the water. in such cases, the medical examiner has to wait for all sorts of toxicology and physiological tests to come back, which take weeks. even then, they may not be able to establish a manner of death without a witness or some other type of corroborating evidence.
