Cities like Baltimore and Chicago have the worst, most violent police officers because they are they have the worst inhabitants living in them. The officers are a product of their environment, and do what they have to do to keep the citizens under control. If that means shooting down rampaging out of control teenagers running around the streets with knives, than so be it.

I anticipate the violence, murder and mayhem is going to keep getting worse and worse in inner-cities as police are increasingly handcuffed in dealing with the denizens inside them.
