These people demanding justice don't know how to protest peacefully.

She's Black and now in an awkward position after what she said.

The media footage is showing dozens of blacks rushing into a check cashing store. Very obviously them breaking into a check cashing store has got nothing at all to do with the "no justice, no peace" bit. So don't give us that crap.

It's because "Black Lives Matter" more than destruction of property.

How about they let the investigation play out... but apparently that's asking too much. Sure, Baltimore might not be fast on charging anyone, but the investigation isn't over. They haven't stating that there was no wrong doing.
If you want to stop this, blame the people responsible. Your rotten, poorly trained police department that couldn't arrest a guy without severing his spine, and couldn't even get medical help for him once they did that. Thats the reason Baltimore is burning

Since Rodney King, the police have just gotten more militarized and more narcissistic, and these incidents have just gotten more frequent. That might be a clue that thats not the solution. So you might want to look at other solutions like training the police not to injure and kill people. Just a thought.

Nah. Let them riot. What apologists are calling a "protest".

I say give them what they want, order the police to pull back and let them have at it. Let the rest of America, and the world, see what they are really like. (though I'm guessing they already know)


(The ones responsible for this destruction are the rioters.)

This is why people fight to keep their guns. We all know that when the **** goes down and the mobs lose control, the cops can't or won't protect us and our property. This riot will continue until the crowd gets bored. The only question is will there be a city left? This is the sad and pathetic truth in America.

We have laws in our country. We shouldn't fear what the thugs will do to us. They should fear us!

The Patriot Act created the DHS which has militarized the police via terrorist training and arming them like they are storming the beach at Normandy.

10 years of incremental creep to what we have today.

Your LOCAL police are like the military today because of our Federal Government.
