Live now: Baltimore looting, burning, rioting

[tangent4ronpaul]

7 officers down, some have broken bones, one is unconscious.
crips are not approving of the rioting and even protected a reporter on the ground.
tear gas and pepper balls use planned

rioters moving toward/into good neighborhoods.

LOL. Never gonna happen.

They don't even loot stores right in the middle of the riot area if the owner actually stays to defend it.

10pm-5am curfew for 1+ week for entire city of Baltimore
9pm -5am for 14 and under - permanent during school year already in effect.

All police leave cancelled and additional forces called in from other departments.

Overheard on Baltimore PD Special Event scanner channel:
"50-70 from Anarundel county, all swatted up"

"all officers check your aim"

All I gotta say is I wouldn't let anyone riot and tear down my community.

Nor would I, but I certainly wouldn't ask the cops to stop it for me.

According to some reports, it appears that a lot of the looting is local teenagers organizing flash mobs on social media.

This is like shitting on your own doorstep. At some point you've got to come home. I have no idea what the solution is but I am 100% sure this is not it

Krugman said this will help spur the economy.

I've noticed with each ghetto loot/burn less and less people defend it.

I concur wholeheartedly. Even if the police were guilty of murdering this guy trashing your own neighborhood is an ignorant and counterproductive response.

Of course, by the numbers, 2015 is shaping up to be one of the safest years ever for cops.

Uncle Sam's kids are pissed that he ignores them and just sends money.

AF, no doubt there is way too much police violence in the US which I condemn in the strongest sense of the word. But is stealing a Russian reporters handbag (see my thread) the proper response? Or burning down a convenience store? Two wrongs don't make a right.
