Since I'm not local..so have no clue..but if destruction is covered like Ferguson, I would assume it will be covered inch by inch and never bother to cover the higher percentage of folks demonstrating PEACEFULLY!! Not such good headlines with those Peaceful folks I guess
No, you have it backwards. The issue here is that we (cops) need to ENFORCE laws! You do the crime, you do the time. Our society has become way too weak on crime and this is hurting our society. If the mayor of baltimore (or ferguson) made an announcement that any crimes would be arrested then that would help things. But, instead we have mayors, media, attorney generals, and Obama telling us that the criminals have rights. Thats only true until they break the law.... which is obviously what is happening in Baltimore and Ferguson.

You're totally right, criminals in custody should have their spines shattered...for justice! Cuz America!

And the thing is, is that it isn't viewed consistently. White conservatives will turn around and yell about the police state when somebody that looks like them is the victim. This is the exact thing conservatives should want to protest...the state's de facto right to murder citizens.

Absolutely NOT ..However, a snip on Youtube in an isolated scene does NOT indicate the greater crowd's of Peaceful protestors...Course media only seems to focus on those nasty law breaking BAD sorts.. I have a friend who lives there and actually get a local person give me the actual truth of just what happened and where tomorrow....Don't trust baiting type rhetorics one bit....

.People have been brutalized for so long..Is it a wonder the pent up angers leads to this lashing out? Just like you do not wish anyone to blame the whole force for a few bad cops..Just maybe stop blaming the whole ideology of protesting of oppressive police behaviours for decades as indicating they are ALL THUGGISH and deserve to be oppressed...

Did I actually say anywhere I agreed with destructive behaviours?? NOPE..But what I was pointing out..Media will focus on just those horrible things and ignore the majority who are Peaceful...However, Those being peaceful will be treated just like those behaving badly....Kinda fuel's the reason's for protesting, eh?

That happened in the day time; it got worse after sunset. The only thing preventing it fro escalating even further is the rain.

If you play with fire then you might get burned...
Yes, we need to clean up the police force. In these cases, the dirty cops need to be punished too! But, why should we allow protesters to burn down cities, shoot cops, loot stores, etc.? All crimes need to be punished.

OK, I apologize (pardon the pun) if you do not support the rioters in Baltimore. It seemed that was what you were doing by posting the Vancouver video. If you think that both groups were wrong, then you are consistent, and we do not disagree.

It's the results of slavery that ended 150 years ago.
