All Lives Matter: Tell That To Baltimoreans

Baltimoreans' Lives seem to only matter when residents feel Cops were involved. Although statistics aren't available for these latest 45 homicides. Want to bet most, if not all of it is BLACK-ON-BLACK?

Baltimore Detective Roderick Mitter was at his desk at the police station when he got a call from his mother telling him a family member had been shot.

Where are these protesters/marchers Now? That's right,
BLACK-ON-BLACK murders are acceptable.

Within minutes, the 10-year veteran was at Johns Hopkins Hospital, where his 18-year-old nephew, Jermaine Mitter, was pronounced dead Thursday.

"I was telling somebody yesterday, 'You get numb to it. It's just work,'" the detective said Friday of the violence he regularly sees on the job. But with family, he said, "It's totally different. I wasn't just Roderick the police officer. I was someone who lost someone."

Jermaine Mitter was among 45 people killed in July, the deadliest month in the city in at least 45 years. July's total surpassed the 42 homicides in May and tied the previous record monthly homicide count in August 1972, when the city had about 275,000 more residents.

As the month drew to a close Friday, police also announced the death of Donte Dixon, 29, a popular local rapper known as "G-Rock," who was shot Thursday night in the 4500 block of Edmondson Ave.

Police have not announced arrests in either case.

City violence has surged since the April 19 death of Freddie Gray. The 25-year-old died after suffering a severe spinal cord injury while in police custody. Six officers involved with his arrest and transport have been charged and are scheduled for trial in October. All have pleaded not guilty.
