Baltimore Burning and Officers Injured

[Cow Poke]

Meanwhile, this is not Ferguson - here we have a black police commissioner, a black mayor.... but we have the same result. Supposed "Justice" in the form of looting, violence, burning.... But, wait!!! Al Sharpton is on his way to save the day. Everybody remembers how much calmer Ferguson got when he entered the scene, yes?

They need a WHOLE lot of prayer!

[Paprika]

Was writing an essay about that last night, but if you look at some of the history of misconduct, you can start to understand the response of anger. Baltimore needs prayers, not just for the riots, but for the whole city and against the evil there.

For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

But those are isolate incidents!

I don't get it, I was watching this last night, and the cops just stood down. They let it happen.

Probably because of this...

In what is a pretty unbelievable admission, the Mayor of Baltimore Stephanie Rawlings-Blake admitted in a press conference that she gave instructions for police to protect protesters, including “those who wished to destroy,” and to give them some space.

She is CLEARLY in over her head.

She is CLEARLY in over her head.

But she's a very important SYMBOL of black and female empowerment!

Appearance over substance.

Black leaders clearly need to speak up and denounce the violence, tell the hoodlums to go home, and assure the people that the problem will be dealt with.

I think they're afraid to say that because they know the looting and rioting won't stop, and they'll look like the fools they are. So they say stupid stuff like, "well, I can understand why people would be angry", which is a green light to chaos.

When your mom slaps you silly for rioting...

Good parenting here.

[One Bad Pig]

Good parenting here.

With signs of poor prior parenting.

Good parenting here.

Where's the daddy?

I don't get it, I was watching this last night, and the cops just stood down. They let it happen.

In an interview that I saw last night with some of members of the city council who were out on the street they said that they asked the police to back off and that they complied.

Today she is blaming the media for deliberately misunderstanding what she "meant."

Not necessarily. Some good parents can still have kids who are anything but upstanding citizens especially in a culture that celebrates thuggish behavior in its music and movies.

Yes, but parents can still take a stand against it and make that stance clear. Rioting against the police is not exactly a gray area.

well you would figure someone who has successfully run for mayor would be able to speak clear English.

Also, why does she seem like she is surrounded by a bunch of black militant thugs?
