Not sure how this hasn't been a thread yet, as these are always fun threads! I am not sure what these people think they are accomplishing.

Pretty sure it's not a topic, because they always go the same way lol.

However, I must say, this is a situation, where PROTESTING might've been justified. That being said, violence and looting will not accomplish anything at all.

This is not a protest. It's a riot.

Yeah, if reports are true regarding his injuries than serious investigations need to be made. But these people are accomplishing nothing and should be in jail.

This is one hell of a riot. The whole damn city is falling apart, Orioles had to cancel their game and the national guard has been fully deployed. Something straight out of the 60s

Hopefully they don't burn down fells point. That's the only redeeming quality of that shit hole of a city

The whole city isn't falling apart, the National Guard is not yet in Baltimore, as of right now this is nothing at all like the riots of the 60's. It does however, have the potential.

Oh... And don't screw up any production of Loose Cannon!

I wonder how long it will last. The Belmont is there in 2 weeks.

Awesome police work. Wtf is the point of police? They will write you a speeding ticket for going 5mph over yet stand there and watch while things get destroyed and people get attacked. Pretty dumb.

These are not protestors, these are not rioters, these are criminals and need to be treated as such. Its time to bring in about 50 Chris Kyle's and start head shooting these worthess fuckers.

Yes, that would solve ALL the problems.

It looks like it was 12-17 year olds for the most part.

They were told by the mayor to not do a thing.

The mayor is of the rioters race, she needs to make it stop but what will happen when she does the right thing and throws the anchor? The USA has no balls anymore in fear of the minorities that seem to be running this country while our "leaders" continuously keep bending over and taking this shit.

Spock

seems like the whole city is ran by minorities....lots of community leaders out on the streets just watching the looting going on. What you ignore you condone. The crazy people are running the asylum.

Tiernan

Thugger Mayor, Thugger Safety Dir and Thugger PD Capt. Who the Hell do the rioters think are covering this up? Anybody that travels will tell you this is one of the worst cities in America. Burn it down...who cares?

I prefer my tax dollars go to a police force that is a little more "protect and serve" and a little less revenue generators. (Obv I don't pay taxes to Baltimore).

I think it's pretty dang scary when the police force just sits around and watches these animals loot, burn businesses, and even destroy police cars. Makes no sense to me.

And yes ytowninfla, the mayor is an idiot for that plan. If these clowns were dealt with more forcefully, maybe people wouldn't be afraid to go to the baseball game tonight.

IMO, if it was easy as you seem to think it is, that's what they'd be doing. If you watch the video that like_that posted, in the first 20-30 seconds a brawl breaks out and there's people literally running in from every angle. Probably two dozen of them from what is portrayed in the video. How do police fight that reasonably and safely? You never know who has weapons or guns, either.
I don't really know how police strategy works, but I'd guess they sit back in numbers with their shields because that's their best strategy. When they get thinned out it'd probably be easy to get overwhelmed.
