    I'm still reading the article so I can’t comment much.... "Where the Baltimore Police Went Wrong" how about "Where The Black Community Went Wrong" short story: Turn in your warranted felons, turn in your drug dealing kids, turn in your prostitution, turn in you dead beat husband/wife, multi non child support dads, multi pregnant daughters, turn in your uneducated kids, turn in your drug habit, drug dealer relatives ...... the war on drugs starts in the home not with the police department

    What to clean up your community clean up your life style, behavior and family unit.
    What shops, store and business to flourish in your community to create work, careers and youthful jobs… Be good stewardship of what you have, been given and earned. Christian values

    Liberal blame, blame everything but the root of the problem... that they the Liberal created Social Program Slavery

    <tt>POLICE TOLD TO 'STAND DOWN' DURING BALTIMORE RIOTS....
    'Weren't Allowed To Defend City'...


    So here we have radical community activists/agitators in position of power, i.e. mayor et. al., who are telling those who WE THE PEOPLE have hired to defend us and our property, NOT TO DO THEIR JOB.


    FUCKING INCREDIBLE !!</tt>

    Not sure that Iagree with that assesment...
    For one, he attributes the "drug war" as an "attempt to hold the poor down". I'm not sure that follows logically from the premise.
    Number two he states this...
    The drug war began it, certainly, but the stake through the heart of police procedure in Baltimore was [former Mayor and Maryland Governor] Martin O'Malley . He destroyed police work in some real respects. Whatever was left of it when he took over the police department, if there were two bricks together that were the suggestion of an edifice that you could have called meaningful police work, he found a way to pull them apart. Everyone thinks I've got a hard-on for Marty because we battled over The Wire, whether it was bad for the city, whether we'd be filming it in Baltimore. But it's been years, and I mean, that's over. I shook hands with him on the train last year and we buried it. And, hey, if he's the Democratic nominee, I'm going to end up voting for him. It's not personal and I admire some of his other stances on the death penalty and gay rights. But to be honest, what happened under his watch as Baltimore's mayor was that he wanted to be governor. And at a certain point, with the crime rate high and with his promises of a reduced crime rate on the line, he put no faith in real policing.
    Despite laying the police 'problems' to be the de facto cause of this week's riots, the idiot says he'd vote for him because he's a democrat. WTF. It reminds me of the idiots that voted for Ed Fitzgerald for governor...a guy who knowing and flagrantly broke the law and thought he was above it. Is it any wonder that we are f*****as a country, when we have the is kind of attitude...that you would actually vote to put someone in public service who can't be trusted to obey the law? SMH.

    In summary, black people don't know how to follow the law and because of that its racist for cops to enforce the law.

    either you didn't read it or your reading comprehension is worse than we all thought.

    No he attributes the war on drugs to pissing on the Constitution and giving cops more power than was ever intended.

    Why even bother reading it? I skimmed through and realized it was a bunch of excuses designed by liberals to justify thug behavior. Throw in a dash of SJW and you have a huge waste of time.

    And yet it STILL started with criminals breaking the law.

    Yeah why bother? We'd hate for you to step outside your tiny little world.

    So let me get this straight.. Conservatives only hold the Constitution sacred when a Democrat enacts something. If a Republican wants to infringe on it "for your safety", you guys are fine with it?
  • HitsRus
    This is what he said, vs. what you think he said....
    If I had to guess and put a name on it, I'd say that at some point, the drug war was as much a function of class and social control as it was of racism.
    What the drug war did, though, was make this all a function of social control. This was simply about keeping the poor down, and that war footing has been an excuse for everybody to operate outside the realm of procedure and law.

    What Baltimore did probably isn't terribly different from NY, where the strategy worked.

    There is no easy solution or fix. NOTHING will work until the community commits to changing. Rallying around what may be yet another imaginary injustice is symptomatic of laziness and entitlement - go out, demonstrate, maybe cause a ruckus and demand someone else fix your problems, rather than accept personal responsibility.

    Because we saw Monday night what happens when the police sit back and look the other way.

    When the protests end, the residents will go back to their schadenfreude of bitching about slavery and racism from their stoop of active indifference.

    Where did I say that? I pointed out where it started. But nobody wants to blame or hold the criminals accountable for anything. Only the police.

    I've read enough from "the other side" to determine its a bunch of moronic cry babies. So yeah why bother? Your article is shit.

    The article is about how cops and the justice system were given free reign of where they decided were drug combat zones and in those zones you didn't need much, if any probable cause to stop someone...hence sticking our nose up at the constitution.

    Freddie Gray: 6 years, 20 arrests. And now it appears he injured himself.


    Yeah, let's riot.

    Those arrest are racist though and we just don't understand because we are white and follow the law.

    Really the arrests are because Republicans do not fund urban areas with enough grants and other people's tax money ......per The Community Activist/Agitator occupying the White House.

    I love how the media is making a bigger deal out of one Mom trying to stop her son from getting shot (not to stop rioting per se) instead of focusing on the criminality of all the Molotov cocktail throwers? Now Mama Thugger is making all the talk show circuits...and anybody that thinks she's some saint Theresa you obviously don't know shit about Thugger women in general.

    Her effort to raise good children is to be applauded. As a single mother of 6, her efforts to keep her legs closed leaves something to be desired. /sleeper'd

    So the guy broke his own neck, yet I am certain the activists and the media will say that is a fabricated report.
  • rydawg5
    Do you have to be an activist to mistrust reports? I personally have no clue what happened but it's odd how you corner people in tunnels of thought.

    I saw that video of the black guy running away and the cop shooting him then planting evidence to fabricate a report but didn't realize he was being recorded. Should we pretend that actually doesn't happen unless we want the "activist" label?
