I’m a bit surprised by David Simon’s reaction to what’s going on in Baltimore. I would have expected a bit more empathy for what the citizens of the city are going through.

I lived in Baltimore for a couple of years, decades ago. It was a rough place (I think it had the highest per capita murder rate in America at the time), but I liked it a fair amount. Terrible to see what’s going on now, especially the idiocy from the police.
