What they need is to show more of this on the news. But who will watch? It doesn't draw viewers like thugs smashing windows and burning buildings.

The rioters know they'll get our attention, and the media keeps showing it. Que Elton John's "Circle of Life."

Some of us understand. These rioters are sub-humans, led by this ignoramus. Are you kidding me? Scroll to 26 seconds. These animals were given "space to destroy?" All the local jurisdictions are providing resources to reign the animals in. My squad had a few trash cans on fire heaved at them two days ago as we patiently "stood down." Word on the street was the great Alfred E. Obama apparently told this idiot mayor that the police were to "stand down" and that "The FBI would be closely monitoring police action." F#&k this. Glad I'm off for the next three days and retired in less than 6 months. We are fast becoming a 3rd world country. Wait until race baiters Al Charlatan and Jesse Jackson arrive to organize the march down I-95 to DC this weekend......I'm headed to the beach.... F this.

Interesting piece regarding the "stand down" in Baltimore...

I havent read this specific article yet, but I've heard local chatter about it and I 100% believe that they were told to hold their ground. It was blatently obvious from anyone glued their tv like I was.

I dont agree with everything is this article, but it is interesting nonetheless...

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-29/12-unanswered-questions-about-baltimore-riots-they-don’t-want-us-ask


#1 Why are dozens of social media accounts that were linked to violence in Ferguson now trying to stir up violence in Baltimore?…

#2 Who was behind the aggressive social media campaign to organize a “purge” that would start at the Mondawmin Mall at precisely 3 PM on Monday afternoon?…

#3 Even though authorities had “credible intelligence” that gangs would be specifically targeting police officers on Monday, why weren’t they more prepared? On Tuesday, the captain of the Baltimore police tried to make us believe that they weren’t prepared because they were only anticipating a confrontation with “high schoolers”

#4 Where were the Baltimore police on Monday afternoon when the riots exploded? During the rioting, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said that the “disappearance of the police for hours this afternoon is something that is going to haunt this city for decades”.

#5 Why are police officers in Baltimore claiming that they were instructed to “stand down” during the rioting on Monday afternoon?…

#6 Why was the decision made ahead of time to set a curfew on Tuesday night but not on Monday night?

#7 Why were so many police vehicles conveniently parked along the street in areas where the worst violence happened? After the destruction of a number of police vehicles on Saturday night, the Baltimore police had to know that they were prime targets. So why were there even more police vehicles available for rioters to destroy on Monday? And where were the cops that should have been protecting those vehicles?

#8 Why is an organization funded by George Soros stirring up emotions against the police in Baltimore?

#9 Why is CNN bringing on “commentators” that are promoting violence in Baltimore?…

#10 Why did Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake initially tell reporters that a decision was made on Saturday to give “those who wished to destroy space to do that”?

#11 Why were rioters given hours to cause mayhem before a state of emergency was finally declared on Monday? Maryland Governor Larry Hogan seems to think that Mayor Rawlings-Blake waited far too long to declare a state of emergency. Just check out what he told one reporter

#12 Does the fact that the mayor of Baltimore has very close ties to the Obama administration have anything to do with how events unfolded during the riots? The following is from Infowars.com
