Instead of demanding justice for Freddy Gray and ordering the arrest and jailing of the cops who let this guy bounce around a paddy wagon, he's focusing his attention on the "rioters" and calling them criminals and thugs. Earth to Obama, this isn't about looters or rioters, its about the police forces in America and its always been about them, the Riots are just a by product of that. Wake up.
And the alternative was full tilt escalation and global media sensation.
i would not be surprised if there were not a few whacked out people in the crowds itching for an opportunity to put a few police heads on a stick.
Tough call in a tough spot.
Nope. But the people at the sports bars next to the stadium being beaten had only each other to help.
The police that were there did absolutely nothing even when asked to help.
There's one video of bar patrons coming outside to block the "protesters" from beating on a girl in a wheelchair.
At least he's finally calling out the animals, rather than providing excuses. This time he didn't say the rioters looked like his son, if he had a son.
Those protesting should lose welfare since we know most are too lazy to work. Also, I believe the store owners have the right to shoot and kill the looters.

The riots are a false flag. Who cares. What do we have when the riots are stopped and the buildings stop burning? We will have the same police corruption that got Freddy Gray killed in police custody, the same reason the guy in South Carolina got shot in the back execution style and the list goes on and on, nothing will change if all he cares about is the "thugs" who are burning CVS. This is a much bigger problem that isn't going anywhere and isn't even being addressed. People are acting as if these thugs just decided to burn and loot for no reason in particular.
That was my reason for posting his rap sheet. He was a known drug dealer with burglary and malicious destruction raps. He should have been in jail. He would still be alive. The cop were probably sick of him getting out of jail before they could file the reports. Seriously, what is wrong with our justice system?
Catch and release. The jails are overcrowded and there's not enough money to build more.
You can't reason with some people. I'm all for less laws in this country and for police following the law. I'm all for police being able to use discretion to avoid force and force being used as a last resort only when needed. That being said, these protestors are NOT law abiding citizens who respect police and will listen to authority. Sometimes you need to meet force with force.
So when do we address what you admit is a problem? The riots are happening because no one will address them.
The real problem isn't that Freddie died in police custody. It's that we have a "justice" system that let such a "person" stay outside of prison in the first place. He was a multi-time violent felon and drug dealer. No user, dealer:

Had the justice system done it's job and kept this animal behind bars where he couldn't prey on innocent people, he wouldn't be dead right now Granted the morons in Baltimore would have most likely found some other excuse to riot and loot anyway.
The question is, would there have been THIS type of riot if those words had not been spoken?
Yes, I don't think they were waiting for the mayor's permission to riot.
