Let them keep killing each other. I'm so glad I don't live up there any place near Baltimore now.

^^^^ Yep, I agree. I bet the cops are more than happy to sit back and let the chips fall where the may. Sure makes their job a hell of a lot easier.

Baltimore murder rate rises sharply in wake of Freddie Gray's death as arrests plummet
Oh damn, like NO ONE saw that one coming.....I say let the fools all kill each other off. Why should Police get in the way of their stupidity only to become the issue??? That is exactly what is going to happen given the issues they face...the thugs take over, kill to the point people are BEGGING for police protection, and then when they come in, THEY take the blame. I say HOLD THE MAYOR RESPONSIBLE!!!! She had it going on when she could throw the blame, so let her shoulder it now that things are NOT being done as they should!!!!

If you're not black, the stats show you'd be pretty safe, at least from being a homicide victim.

In cop talk they let the population "blow off steam" before they go back in. It would be a danger to precious manpower, money and have zero effect when they interrupt riots at these levels too early. Rioters and sympathizers have to realize what they are doing by themselves, even at the expense of local shop owners and public property. Otherwise the police, firemen and medics will become targets.

Compare it to a child who throws a fit. Go to your room and come back out when you are normal. Here the kids have guns and matches though.

The rioters don't care what they are doing. Majority of the rioters in this instance don't have jobs, don't own anything worth much, and the neighborhood was pretty much a dump before the riot took place.

Something else. I would also consider that rioters are looking for attention. Now, the riots attract looters who are looking for things to steal. On the other hand, there is another element. In the mind of a rioter, the only way to get someone's attention is through violence. That is all they know, is violence. They think in terms of "listen to me, or I will attack".

They don't care about Black Lives, White Lives, Green Lives ...any lives. I pray that the decent hard working people can somehow save up and escape.

I'm glad i don't live there. Add Chiraq (Chicago) to the list.
