This is inexcusable
From today's Baltimore Sun:
A Baltimore police spokesman defended yesterday the department's decision to delay notifying Mount Vernon residents of a string of rapes, saying that investigators worked to gather reliable information before notifying the public and that residents should always be careful, "whether we're looking for a suspect or not."
It's a risky world out there. But when danger is proximate and substantial, you warn people. Good thing the folks who made this decision don't run the National Weather Service or the Department of Homeland Security.
