One Twitter pundit put this whole thing well - "Hope and change involves a lot more rioting and looting than I expected."

I guess I was brought up differently from you. I had parents that taught me to respect others and local authority.
Really? What did these people do to deserve this, over the last four years in Baltimore? And these are only ones that we know about....

Quote:
Over the past four years, more than 100 people have won court judgments or settlements related to allegations of brutality and civil rights violations. Victims include a 15-year-old boy riding a dirt bike, a 26-year-old pregnant accountant who had witnessed a beating, a 50-year-old woman selling church raffle tickets, a 65-year-old church deacon rolling a cigarette and an 87-year-old grandmother aiding her wounded grandson.

Those cases detail a frightful human toll. Officers have battered dozens of residents who suffered broken bones — jaws, noses, arms, legs, ankles — head trauma, organ failure, and even death, coming during questionable arrests. Some residents were beaten while handcuffed; others were thrown to the pavement.

And in almost every case, prosecutors or judges dismissed the charges against the victims — if charges were filed at all.

That's one every two weeks, probably in the same neighborhoods, over and over and over.

This is obviously the source of this problem.

Burning down CVS after looting it will not get rid of racist White cops in Baltimore.

Hahaha gotta love all of the leftists calling for the National Guard and the police to "do something" after they've vilified them for steadily for the past 6+ months after Ferguson. The same leftists whimpering for the National Guard would be the the first ones to cry "ABUSE!" and "RACIST!" if the cops or the Guard actually used force against these "protesters." The idiots in Baltimore have made it abundantly clear they do no like the police nor do they want them there. I say pull the cops out and let it burn. If they don't want the police who are we to force them to have them around?

I bet the people of MD will have a different view of Conceal Weapons permit. If Baltimore had trained CCW we would see less looting.
The National Guard should of been their and Positions AM Early Today.
Been there and done it a should of force solves many problems.

If they would loot my business a Shot gun would greet them!
This is crazy and Black America is out of control. They can not even recognize why they are being displaced in the way jobs.

Its call Illegal immigration.

Bottom this is unacceptable.
