In a speech last year in Florida, Rosenstein attributed the spike in homicides in Baltimore to a decision “to cut back on policing and prosecution.” “In Baltimore and Chicago, literally hundreds of people lost their lives because of political decisions that resulted in police refraining from doing the good things that we need them to do,” he said.
