Is it possible that the business owners of the 140 business that were destroyed in Baltimore, plus their employees that lost their jobs, plus the insurance companies that insure these businesses, plus the police that were injured because they were not permitted to wear protective gear--in short--all those that were injured because of the decision and announcement by City Hall in Baltimore that ordered the police to stand down: CAN THEY MAKE A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST THE CITY OF BALTIMORE FOR FAILURE TO PROTECT BODY AND PROPERTY?
These citizens pay taxes for the police to protect them. This looks like dereliction of government responsibility to me. AND, THE CITY OF BALTIMORE SHOULD PAY FOR ALL THE DAMAGES!
In a sane world, they’d be able to do so.
But the courts have ruled that government is not liable to keep people and property safe.
Yes...
The Class Action Civil Liability Lawsuit will be EPIC.
Whether the Mayor can be held personably responsible depends on a lot of factors, but the couple of attorney’s I have asked about this both said “Someone” is going to be paying out huge bucks.
The council should, too.
They should consider suing the news outlets that convicted the police of killing Grey long before the report was out. Newspeople need to report facts and not make up the news. Holding them accountable for the riots would be a good start.
i hope the coke brothers give all them the money to start their businesses back up much further south!
Failure to protect is omission = no liability.
Use of language to encourage crime is commission = liability.
Typically the courts have ruled that police departments do not have a contractual obligation to protect life and property of citizens, therefore not held lible for not showing up.
Police are not required to respond to anything. So sayeth the USSC. They don’t even have to respond to a 911 call.
Another Obama legacy. Inner city insurance for businesses, structures, inventory loss, and liability will be impossible to afford if available at all?
Lawsuit should be done...
“Use of language to encourage crime is commission = liability.”
So is publicly stating to “give space who want do destroy” leaving the barn door way open?
This can set a precedent against public figures who encourage ferals to “exercise there right of expression” by means of violent acts. Attack dog lawyers would be salivating at this.
The Police have”No Legal Duty” to protect the citizenry, their only “Legal Duty” is to the political entity that employs them.
Baltimore Mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, ordered the police: to “stand down” “LET THEM LOOT. IT’ S ONLY PROPERTY”. We saw hell explode after the Black democratic mayor gave the thugs carte blanche to destroy the city. The police weren’t allowed to defend the city. More than 100 officers were injured, some seriously.
Baltimore needs a new mayor with courage and integrity, Toya Graham, the mother that took his son from the mob.
“The steady expansion of welfare programs can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the Negro family structure over the past generation in the United States.p.” Dem. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (In office January 3, 1977 – January 3, 2001)

Facts are irrelevant for Anarchists, Communists, professionals agitators and “community organizers” followers of Marxist Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” strategy.
Obama is the most racist and divisive president in our history. Obama has been inflaming racial tension since he took power.
David Horowitz' excellent recently published pamphlet "Barack Obama's Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model" offers keen insights into Alinsky and what it might mean when Alinsky followers are in positions of power. The conclusions he reaches are not pleasant but are borne out by current events, public utterances of the president, his history, and the work of Alinsky himself.
What we are seeing is the most radical President in our country’s history who is unable to govern because governing is not his purpose. The Alinskyite, ever the destroyer of institutions, cannot govern because governments and societies are built upon institutions.
According to the FBI in 2011, 193 blacks were killed by whites, 448 White killed by Blacks while 2,447 blacks were killed by blacks. That is 2.3 times more whites killed by blacks than the other way around despite the fact that there’s six times as many whites in this country.
Do Black lives really matter? How many of the parents of Blacks murdered by Blacks received a call of Obama or send his personal representative to the funeral?
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke: Obama ‘Quietly Enjoying’ Unrest in Baltimore

Not holding back one bit. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke says O is “quietly enjoying” what’s going on in Baltimore because he’s a ‘promoter of division’ and has ‘benefitted politically’ from ‘dividing’ people.
Sheriff Clarke points out all the times President Obama has pitted one group of Americans against another. He also questions why Obama didn’t come out and speak about the Baltimore riots earlier. He was interviewed here on the Mark Levin Show
Clarke: Change In Baltimore Should Start With “Failed Liberal Democrat Policies”

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) blasted “failed liberal government policies” for miring people in cities like Baltimore in “generational poverty” and argued that change in Baltimore “needs to start in the politics, the failed liberal Democrat policies” on Wednesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.
Hard to sue a city/cops for not doing what they cannot be coerced into doing. They are under no legal compunction to protect us or our property. I was actually shocked when the cop who “rogered” a 911 call, then opted to go to lunch instead of responding, was fired if the lady hadn’t died, it would probably been swept under the rug, but they don’t want citizens to realize that the police are not there to help us (some are very good men and woman who do feel compelled to be protectors/public servants, but “they” are working hard to weed such out of the future foundation of the Police State the Left strives for).
