Democratic Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said Monday that a taxpayer-funded “community violence intervention” activist’s arrest in a shooting does not mean that such programs are failing.
Baltimore policeannounced Monday they arrested 51-year-old nonprofit leader Antione Burton over the nonfatal shooting of a 40-year-old on Sunday. Scott expressed outrage that Burton allegedly dishonored his title working for the city’s multi-million-dollar “Safe Streets” initiative designed to address crime — while urging continued support for the program.
The activist is the latest of several so-called violence prevention workers charged with a crime after liberal, police-skeptical cities promoted their unconventional neighborhood outreach as crucial to public safety.
