BALTIMORE: Getting the policing they demanded

The residents of Baltimore are today getting the policing policies they were demanding so publicly a few weeks ago when thousands turned out in anti-police protests.

Those peaceful protests quickly turned into massive looting and violence as the sun went down in the “Greatest City in America”. Mobs burned and damaged hundreds of businesses in looting and violence over a multi-day orgy of violence.

In an effort to quell the groups of blacks rioting, the local State’s Attorney charged six police officers in the death of Freddie Gray. The charges were nothing more than feeding those cops to a lynch mob to satisfy their quest for vengeance.

Yep, only a mental midget would arrest and criminally charge a bunch of cops who had little to nothing to do with a heroin dealer’s self-mutilation turned suicide.

Only an even simpler mental midget would think that arresting cops to assuage a mob of criminal thugs isn’t going to send a strong and powerful message to police.

Baltimore gets bloodier as arrests drop post-Freddie Gray

BALTIMORE (AP) — A 31-year-old woman and a young boy were shot in the head Thursday, becoming Baltimore’s 37th and 38th homicide victims so far this month, the city’s deadliest in 15 years.

Meanwhile, arrests have plunged: Police are booking fewer than half the number of people they pulled off the streets last year. Arrests were already declining before Freddie Gray died on April 19 of injuries he suffered in police custody, but they dropped sharply thereafter, as his death unleashed protests, riots, the criminal indictment of six officers and a full-on civil rights investigation by the U.S. Justice Department that has officers working under close scrutiny.

Well, Baltimore’s police have gotten the message loud and clear.
