Baltimore Cop Seen Hurling Rock At Protesters

And this makes him no better than they are–even worse, since he’s supposed to be enforcing the law.

I bet all the cops standing around watching don’t remember seeing a thing. And so it will go … But the people know and they will remember, they know who the henchman of the rich and powerful are.

Some say this is how the riots started.

The riots started a long time ago with Reagan and trickle down economics that created an intolerable inequality. This has been many years in the making and will take awhile to undo.

This is the truth. We have taken money from education to give the top 1% tax cuts and this has been going on for decades. These egregious murders of unarmed black men by a police force who feel justified in killing a human who they deem to be less than themselves are a cause of less education. Many seem to cast judgement’s on something they do not have any familiarity with. How can people hate what they don’t even know? Cops need to get out of their cars and walk the streets. If they don’t feel it is safe to do that, it is not safe because they haven’t assimilated with the population and they have put themselves above those in low income neighborhoods. The cops caused this problem, they need to be the remedy.

Remember last december when the Baltimore mayor vetoed a police body cam bill?

brietbarting is lying. She is against that particular bill because of privacy concerns, it was written in haste. She wants cameras but she also wants a well written law
Red Eye Robot April 28th, 2015 at 2:48 pm
I guess Breitbart made CBS lie too, that’s were I read the story. If the mayor wanted body cameras they would have them.

again with the brietbarting, the entire story, not just your cherry picked version of events that explain everything. You are a liar

The mayor vetoed the law. You can stomp your feet and call me a liar all you wish. All the ad hominems in the world won’t change the fact that the mayor vetoed the law.

why? Is it so hard for you racist to speak the truth?

Remember when you were a kid and a member of the KKKub Scouts?

Your racism crutch doesn’t seem to be helping your crippled ideology. On a side note, I’m so racist, I have lived in one of the blackest cities in America for 49 years

I have a racism crutch? You’re the one who can’t pass up a chance to denigrate minorities. Seems to be the only quiver in your bow. More guns, fewer minorities.

But how do you explain George Wallace? The Klan? Arkansas resistance to school integration? One word DEMOCRATS
bpollen May 3rd, 2015 at 3:08 am
Ahh… it wasn’t bigotry, it was a political party. Brilliant. For a knee-jerk reactionary. Once upon a time, the Democrats in the South were remarkably similar to current Republicans from across the country. But, and listen here, BIGOTRY was the driving force behind Wallace, the Klan, and the rabid anti-integration troglodytes. Remember that (gasp!) Democratic President who signed two Civil Rights Acts? OMG, Robby, how could that ever be if DEMOCRATS are the sole reason for racism as you assert? I mean, that (gasp!) Democratic President was serving WHILE Wallace was in office, and those Civil Rights Acts were passed by a (gasp!) DEMOCRATIC congress and signed by a (gasp!) DEMOCRATIC President! Is there a FLAW in your analysis?

The cop throwing the rock is black, is he racist? The crowd that is rioting, are they lawful? Do you expect civility when anarchy is raging? How many rocks would you absorb, before you picked one up and threw it back? If your everyday interaction taught you that the people within the community despised you, how would you respond?
bpollen April 29th, 2015 at 5:36 am
So, you are saying he is a rioter? Since it’s wrong for one side to throw rocks, but it’s understandable frustration on the other, it seems that you have a delightedly blatant double standard. Kind of a IOKIYAR, but cops instead of Repubs.
