I would argue that the homicides are predominantly black on black crimes.

Yep. It's a huge problem and can potentially get worse if we get a shitty DA like the one that New Orleans has.... but it's not growing exponentially like our overdose problem is.

How to combat the issue is a whole other thread. But we aren't really doing shite about it as a country. Baton Rouge's efforts logically are limited to very localized programs and (not kidding) buying bus tickets to Atlanta for people in the open drug markets/homeless camps. We have a crisis in this country and very few people are even trying to do something about it.
