REALLY???? He is catering to the thugs. CLEARLY

When did he say that he supports arson? I missed that tweet.

If they are righteously looting and burning and killing and rioting and mugging innocent third parties,well yes,that is exactly what Murray Rothbard and I are advocating.

What if they re righteously burning and looting cop cars, and buildings of government oppression? What if slaves are burning fortresses and looting armories? People can not righteously riot against the innocent, by definition of righteous, but they can still righteously riot.

How about if they are looting and burning CVS pharmacies,athletic shoe stores,malls,liquor stores,bars and taverns,convenience stores,their neighbors houses and cars and anything else that suits their fancy?

Can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs as Lenin once supposedly put it?

I think you must have a misunderstanding of the word "righteous". All that does not sound very righteous to me. Perhaps you should re-read my original question, understand it, and then make a retort.


Perhaps I should simplify the question:

Do you believe all riots are unjustified?

I believe that any action that harms an innocent third party,such as a riot that harms or destroys the property of a home or business of somebody not involved in the rioting is a criminal act and the rioters should be held liable,unless they are caught in the act,then,with any luck they should be shot.

Why apply all these hypothetical's to a event that actually occurred? You don't need them when reality is staring you in the face.

because not all riots are created equally.

Powerful stuff... not often that police are held accountable. Hope they all get max sentences.

It is fairly amusing how much stock they put into their "service"; while the truth is without their "services" being provided, most people will just be forced into the realization that without police availability, they will be in the same situation regardless, which is that ultimately they are on their own to resolve their own problems.

Freddie Gray officer threatened to kill himself and ex-partner's husband, court document alleges

The Baltimore police lieutenant charged with the manslaughter of Freddie Gray allegedly threatened to kill himself and the husband of his ex-girlfriend, during incidents that led to him being disciplined and twice having his guns confiscated.

Brian Rice, who pursued and arrested Gray after the 25-year-old “caught his eye” on 12 April, was reportedly given an administrative suspension after being hospitalised for a mental health evaluation when he warned he was preparing to shoot himself in April 2012.

Rice, 41, also received an internal discipline when a judge granted a temporary restraining order against him after a request from Andrew McAleer, the husband of Karyn McAleer, who is the mother of Rice’s young son and a fellow Baltimore police officer. Rice has been married to and divorced from two further women, according to court records.

A sharply critical 10-page complaint against Rice, which Andrew McAleer filed to a court in Maryland in January 2013, is being published in full for the first time by the Guardian. It details what McAleer, a Baltimore firefighter, described as a “pattern of intimidation and violence” by the officer.

Rice was released on bail after being charged with manslaughter, assault, misconduct and false imprisonment following an inquiry into Gray’s death on 19 April. Prosecutors say Gray died after his neck was broken during a prolonged van journey in handcuffs and shackles. All six officers involved in his arrest have been bailed on criminal charges.

State’s attorney Marilyn Mosby said on Friday the arrest of Gray initiated by Rice was illegal because a knife in his pocket, which he was charged with illegally carrying, was in fact legal. Rice and two other officers put Gray in the police van without seatbelting him as required by police rules, according to Mosby.

An attorney for Rice did not respond to an email and message requesting comment. The restraining order against him was lifted after a week when a judge ruled there was no basis in Maryland law for it to continue. The McAleers previously declined to comment when reached via telephone by the Guardian.

McAleer said in his court filing, which was first reported by the Guardian last month, that Rice forced one of Karyn McAleer’s young children to “shoot” a photograph of her and her husband that Rice had “taped to a piece of cardboard intended for target practice”. It was not clear from the filing whether any weapon was actually used.

McAleer said that two months before this, in April 2012, his wife called to tell him to protect himself and her five children from Rice because the lieutenant had called her threatening to kill himself.

Deputies from the Carroll County sheriff’s department responded to an emergency call and transported Rice to a hospital, before confiscating his police service weapon, his personal 9mm handgun, two rifles and two shotguns.

It is unclear how long Rice spent as a patient. The police response to an incident at Rice’s home was first reported earlier this month by the Associated Press, which said it resulted in an administrative suspension from Baltimore police.

Asked to confirm details of Rice’s suspensions, a Baltimore police spokesman said: “I can confirm that individual has been employed with Baltimore police department since 1997. He is currently suspended. I am not able to provide you with any other information on personnel issues.”

Rice was allegedly given another administrative suspension and had his guns confiscated again eight months later, according to court filings, after McAleer obtained the week-long peace order against the police lieutenant.

“I am seeking protection immediately,” McAleer wrote to a court in Carroll County, Maryland, in January 2013. He alleged Rice’s behaviour had caused him “to have constant fear for my personal safety” and a “fear of imminent harm or death from Brian Rice”.

Rice was ordered to stay away from McAleer, his home and his workplace after a series of alleged confrontations, including one armed standoff in June 2012 when officers from two police departments responded to a 911 call and spent 90 minutes defusing the situation.

McAleer alleged Rice was screaming and smelled of alcohol during the 2am confrontation in front of McAleer’s house. He said his wife later said Rice had told her he planned to kill McAleer during the June 2012 encounter.

“I witnessed Brian Rice remove a black semi-automatic handgun from the trunk of his vehicle,” wrote McAleer, who said officers from Carroll County sheriff’s department and Westminster police department arrived after he called 911.

Among other alleged incidents detailed in his complaint, McAleer said Rice bombarded him with “harassing and sexually explicit text messages” sent on his police department-issued BlackBerry.

McAleer said he finally applied for a restraining order in January 2013 because five days earlier, Rice had arrived again at the man’s house in his Hyundai Sonata, before exiting and slamming his car door, yelling and waving his arms.

Rice finally returned to the driver’s seat, “racing the engine” while inching the car towards the man and flashing the headlights, according to McAleer. “This caused me to become distraught and fear my life was about to end,” he wrote.

The mentally ill and violent get a pass with a badge.

I caught an AP breaking news alert earlier on my phone, like 5 or 6 cops were indicted behind this. I would have rushed over to RPFs to post but I figured someone would have already handled it. Probably did, in another thread I haven't seen yet.

In any case, 5 or 6 indictments were handed down. Lemme see if I can't find a story...

Seriously, don't read the comments at the DC site unless you want to stoke up a new aneurysm. Apparently they think the cops didn't kill him hard enough.

It's times like these that I totally get the 'rethuglican' moniker that the dems have saddled the right with.

It boggles the mind.

The left LOVES them some big nanny-state government despotism, but HATES* the police who enforce it.

The right HATES* this big nanny-state government despotism, but LOVES the police who enforce it.

It's almost like these people were intentionally contorted, heads into each other's asses in some sick giant human ass-first oroborus of runaway government.

I mean, it's all so absurd and yet so specifically fitted together....

Someone is assembling these pieces in such a specific way as to ensure the status quo never changes.
