Midsummer murder | The Economist: AT THE corner in West Baltimore where a burnt-out pharmacy sits as evidence of riots, Tay Wizzle, a 26-year-old student, explains why he thinks the murder rate has spiked. “It’s a decrease in police presence,” he says. “The police don’t patrol like they did before the riots. I think they’re purposely doing that to make themselves look innocent. They ain’t dumb, but they think everyone here’s stupid.” As he speaks, a police car arrives and two cops begin questioning a couple who were parked in a car with tinted windows. “I’ve been here an hour and that’s the first I’ve seen them,” says Mr Wizzle. “And they’re just fucking with people.”
