The problem in Baltimore highlights 2 things i have been pounding my fist about for a while. First off, the black community right now is a dumpster fire. The reason why is because liberal policies from the last 50 years have removed fathers from the home and made women dependent on the govt to feed and raise their children. When you have no man in the home, these are the thug spawn that are created. And as lonng as we continue to subsidize broken families, you will never shut down the thug factories.
Next, this country has too many laws and we zealoously enforce too many laws. Until we get to the point where only violations of life, limb or property are actively enforced, instead of incentivizing cops to generate revenue and harrass poor people with nuisance/petty offenses, then the perception of cops will never change and will always be a confrontational relationship. In addition, cops are way too quick to resort to lethal means on the most trivial of offenses and slow to react when it comes to reporting bad cops.
Cops and blacks have a long way to go. Liberals enable the bad behavior of blacks and social conservatives enable the bad behavior of cops.
I'm all in on point #1 and mixed on #2
