Should we start a pool for the number of arrests or maybe dollar amount of property damage protestor's will cause?

Good thing they had their signs pre-printed.

Soros funded & backed. Along with the American Communist Party. Notice the high gloss produced ones, Yeppers all from some locally organized group.

This stupid ignorant excuse for a mayor takes the cake.

Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake issued a statement (https://twitter.com/ABCPolitics/status/677232694556803072) following the announcement of the mistrial, stating that "we must respect the outcome of the judicial process," and that "our reaction needs to be one of respect for our neighborhoods, and for the residents and businesses of our city." She also said: "In the case of any disturbance in the city, we are prepared to respond."

The story then says cont'd page 24 (for print media) from pg 1 "we are prepared to respond." "By letting you do what ever you feel is necessary to express that pent up rage"

The middle aged white lady looks a bit out of place in the picture at the top of the article.

The second trial is scheduled to begin next month. Everyone in Baltimore knows that. SRB, the current mayor, has no political future in Baltimore. She knows that.

The real story, IMO, is the next twenty years in Baltimore. The Baltimore Police Department has been gutted, demoralized, and stripped of the personnel it would need to improve and serve the people of the city. Regardless of what happens to the six officers involved in this one tragic incident, the 750,000 people who live in the city will not have an effective police department for the next generation. This is on top of a corrupt school board, defective social services system, and dwindling tax base. While there are plenty who will have no empathy for the people of Baltimore, I hope there are some who will recognize that what has happened there could just as easily happen anywhere.

As Americans, when one of us suffers, we all should pay attention because the next one to suffer may just be us.

Be safe.

Well said and good perspective.

If she works quickly, I bet Hick' would hire her for a position on his staff.
