Antoine Skipwith, who "walked off from the Baltimore City Correctional Center," robbed a bank customer in HoCo with a buddy, then drove his car into a ditch.
How can this article about police shootings not mention the fact that the department is still understaffed by some 200-300 officers? Doesn't it seem pretty obvious that understaffing puts officers in life-threatening, backup-less situations more often, not to mention leaving more criminals out there?
Instead it blames everything from police training to gangs to O'Malley. Huh?

Cybes, on the correlation between inadequate manpower and officers blowing dudes away, you're obviously failing to recognize the complex interplay of manifold socio-economic circumstances.
Far too complex to draw causative conclusions anytime within the next electoral cycle.
Another police-involved shooting, up here just now on Belgian Ave.
"walked off from the Baltimore City Correctional Center" sounds so much better than "escaped from the Baltimore City Correctional Center"
Either they want to improve the self image of the guards (as in Joe didn’t fail the class he just didn’t pass the class), or doing time at the BC Correction Center is now voluntary.
Joe,
Is there really any difference between the world inside and the city (Baltimore B, of course) outside the prison wall ?
Baltimore City is a prison colony.
Can I get a witness ?
