The debate continues about how to coax squeegee kids away from Baltimore’s intersections. Many residents from across Baltimore have been sending FOX45 News videos of their run-ins with them.
We've also seen squeegee kids yelling at police during a tense confrontation just a few feet away from the front doors of police headquarters.
Former Baltimore City Police Commissioner Ed Norris joined FOX45 Morning News to examine what city leaders are doing about the issue now and how he was able to get the issue resolved when he was in charge.
"When I was commissioner, it was a top priority. If they were out, they were gone shortly as soon as we saw them. They have no right to be on the street. A blind man can see this murder coming," Ed Norris said.
Some people argue that they still need to make a living and that's why they're squeegeeing.
"That's nonsense. Robbery is not a way to make a living and that's what they're doing. When you steal people's money by intimidation, it's a robbery, it's the same as sticking a gun to your face. They're not allowed to do it. They're obstructing traffic," Ed Norris said. "This guy should be alive today, it's the city's fault."
"They didn't continue my policies. Fred Bealefeld did and look what happened. Murders were under 200," Ed Norris said. "The city was safe. I brought it down and they brought it down further. These policies have been abandoned."
