Politics aside: How humiliating is this for the Mayor?

quote:

Baltimore’s Mayor Jack Young begged the residents to stop violent crime and shootings because hospitals need to save bed space for coronavirus patients.

What the mayor says makes perfect sense. I don’t see why any reasonable criminal would commit violent acts after a plea like that.

Young is addressing this now because of Tuesday’s mass shooting that left seven injured. The Baltimore City police department is following the lead of other departments across the country by easing up on arrests for non-violent offenses out of fear that an outbreak could spread through facilities and sicken both inmates and staff. That said, things are going to get bumpy before it straightens out.

Better message would be to tell them to finish off the target, don't let it limp away.
