Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who is both the current Mayor of Baltimore and Secretary of the DNC, famously condoned the Freddie Gray riots in 2015.
Mizz Mayor, speaking to reporters in 2015, said,
"I've made it very clear that I work with the police and instructed them to do everything they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their right to free speech. It's a very delicate balancing act because while we try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well, and we work very hard to keep that balance and to put ourselves in the best position to de-escalate."
Given the fact that the Secretary of the DNC believes that rioters should have a nice comfy space to destroy things, do you think riots will be condoned at the DNC Convention in Philadelphia like they were last year in Baltimore?
