Baltimore Unrest

I should have used blue font.

It makes no sense for it not starting tonight.

Two hours to get everything in place?

Just not enough time. Trust me on this. There aren't many cities that could implement it in that time.

15 offices injured thus far.

Would have more time if they reacted earlier.

Hell, at least announce it even if you can't fully enforce it. Might keep a few off the streets.

You know how long it will take the NG to get on scene. And I'd be willing to bet pennies to dollars that's why it won't be until tomorrow.
 
This lawless behavior will probably continue well into the night and possibly into the early morning hours. LEO in defensive mode and holding position.

Loot until everything is gone and then wait on their checks.. The 1st is Friday.. That is truly double dipping
 
I wonder if the local businesses insurance policies covered civil unrest. Seems the "heroes" in blue did little to "protect and serve" they simply cowered on the next block.

You want to lead the charge into that crowd?

Had they gone in using force, you would have whined about that.

They backed off without resorting to overwhelming force, you whine about that.

Are you satisfied a bunch of cops got injured?

Whatever, that's why they get paid. They should do their job.

I don't particularly care about injured cops.
 
I, again, think that protests are warranted, even encouraged, if a group feels themselves to be wronged. And in this case, there certainly does need to be an in depth investigation and appropriate charges placed once it's concluded.

But it's a sad day when we expect looting to go on after such incidents.

It's a sad day when that seems to be the only thing that works. Police brutally is nothing new in Baltimore. Between 2011 and 2015 the government has paid out about $5.7 million to victims of police brutality. Numerous protests. Numerous investigations. Zero change.

As much as it pains me to say it, it's beginning to look like rioting is the only way to get real change here.

LEO can only hold and defend positions until adequate reinforcements arrive. If uniformed LEO in riot gear advances on rioters then the city of Baltimore will be having funerals for many officers the following week and the media will report on how the black community was really the victim in that situation.

Yep because obeying the law is simply impossible.
