Yeah, that's a related wide spread problem.My wife showed it too me this morning before I left for the office. She narrated it. I'm sure she was pretty close to accurate. Awesome! Way to go Mom.
Where are all the Dads?
I don't think its irrelevant, it would show the issue is a different one than just problems being with cops. But I don't think any would disagree with a independent investigation.
Irrelevant, you live in Chicago, you know more than many how minorities kill minorities. I'm not saying anyone needs to get around anything. Let's just have an independent investigation.

Furious Baltimore mom slaps at her masked teenage son taking part in the rioting. She recognized him on TV throwing rocks at police.
Making sure he humps straight home - right now.
Every parent should be as bold and pro-active as this mother.
Heya Ockham. :2wave: Loretta Lynch to the rescue, Mike made the discovery in the other thread. :mrgreen:
Obama also spoke with Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake on Monday, while his senior adviser, Valerie Jarrett, spoke with Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, the White House said.
"The meeting was not called specifically as a result of the situation in Baltimore, the White House said, but Lynch "assured the President that she would continue to monitor events in Baltimore and that the Department of Justice stands ready to provide any assistance that might be helpful there."....snip~
White House, Lynch turn to Baltimore - CNNPolitics.com
What I was wondering is why Valerie Jarrett is talking to the Governor of Maryland.
I read somewhere a while back that Detroit was once one of the richest cities in the world after WW2, due to automobile production. I guess it's human nature to believe that the good times will last forever, but they never do. You'd think we would have learned something along the way just from reading about Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall, and how power and corruption go hand in hand! :thumbdown:
No, I'm really not....My heart was breaking as I watched that utter **** last night....But, my question for you last night was simple...The police, although armored up, but undermanned, were ordered to stand back and not even attempt to interfere with what was going on....That IMHO, is what you get when you take the stance that you so often take against police resource, and how they should approach these types of anarchist actions by citizens that have NO regard for law.
That is sorry to say excuse making. You shouldn't make excuses for scum like what we saw last night.
I agree that the death of Freddie was a wrong that those responsible for should pay. But last night this wasn't about Freddie.
You don't solve decades of "root problems" as you term them, with destruction of your own community, and mayhem in one night do you? You say that had Freddie not been arrested as he was this wouldn't have happened. Well, that is a double edged sword my friend...Had Freddie not ran, this wouldn't have happened either....You either have law enforcement or you don't....Last night Balto didn't.
What are you talking about? Last night the police didn't interfere....We saw the result...So, can I take that to mean that what we saw last night you consider just? I hope that's not what you are saying.
Polgara, True, Detroit was right in line to be the Midwest's NY City, with the same level of culture and expositions and such, but it wasn't just the automotive, there was mining, lumber and any number of other industries large, active and profitable. Somewhere along the line, reality didn't stay on course with the ideals or the plan.
Freddie Gray needs a federal investigation to answer those questions.
Using freddie gray to loot, rob oxy's from cvs and liquor from liquote stores all while burning down community centers makes you worse or at least as bad as the cops who were responsible for freddie gray's death.
There was plenty of time for Baltimore to have launched a "HOMICIDE" investigation before this rioting. They should have quit stating that Gray "DIED" in custody and stated he was apparently the victim of a HOMICIDE. I don't approve of the rioting, but I know where it came from.

Why not burn down city hall? why not burn down the police stations?
Why burn down community centers? churches? liquor stores and steal drugs from pharmacies? No, I don't get where they are "Coming from". these things have nothing to do with freddie gray.
I'm not making excuses for the rioting, I'm saying there is a cause behind it, however. The rioting isn't about justice and is not about Freddie, it is about thugs and criminals waiting to pounce, but they got their excuse through the misuse of police force.
If we want to solve the problem we have to reign in government and start addressing the reasons why the thugs and criminals can gain such large control over parts of our cities.
I've read a number of articles describing Detroit's decline into chaos, and if I recall, the beginning of the end started when they city started throwing money and promises at minority communities to address their lack of opportunities and high unemployment. To pay for these programs, the city started raising taxes on businesses. After the riots of '68, they made more promises, and increased spending. Tax increases soon followed, as the population began to recede.
Rather than spend money on improvements and to keep Detroit viable and interesting, they threw it into a dark hole of socials services payouts, and public employee pay and benefits. Eventually, most major businesses started to move out of the city to less costly surrounding cities, abandoning the inner city. From that, the die was cast. The tax base disappeared, people moved out, and what was once home to some of the most highly paid citizens in the country has turned into a set piece for Armageddon II.
Baltimore, and many cities across the country are poised to make the same mistakes. Rather than encouraging business and opportunity, the liberals running these cities will turn to payouts to buy votes from the "needy", and set in motion the same result. Downtown Los Angeles has teetered on this cliff for decades.
Ok, but do you see how you are arguing for less menacing police presence, but with such the criminals take over? Scenes like last night IMHO would become a regular occurrence with the neutering of police.
Baltimore Mayor Spoke With Obama in Afternoon – Then Waited 5 Hours to Call in the National Guard | The Gateway Pundit
wow.. im so not shocked.. Obama told her to "do nothing"...
Don't worry T. :2wave: Loretta is on the J.O.B. Plus Val Jar talked with the Governor. He knows exactly what to do now.
Has anyone heard why the incident is still under investigation and has anyone been charged with wrongdoing? They released the names of the officers but refuse to release their pictures. Is that common practice? Three of the officers have been identified as white from a video. I read that Baltimore is one city that practices black on black policing. This arrest occurred in a black community across the street from a government housing project in front of boarded up row houses and is known for high criminal activity.
Soros's involvement is all over this..
Sharptones was at the funeral.....he knows how to get into meetings at the White House. Bring in the Big Dogs.
he could have been using a hookers ass as a crack hookah, getting a broken back in custody without explaination is not a acceptable.
