BALTIMORE (CBS BALTIMORE) — A Maryland sheriff who traveled to Baltimore to help law enforcement stop Monday’s riots told 105.7 The Fan that he was stunned when officers alerted him of the orders to stand down.

He joined Ed Norris and Steve Davis on Thursday to talk about the controversial orders the police were given during the riots. Lewis said it wasn’t his intention to come to Baltimore, a drive of about two hours, but he felt it was his duty to help. “I hadn’t planned to go to Baltimore at all, but I saw the lack of response. You could smell burning tires and a city on fire when we pulled into the city,” he said. “We maintained our post all night long until we were relieved.” But what shocked him the most, he said, was when city police told him not to confront and accost the rioters. “I was sick to my stomach like everybody else. This was urban warfare no doubt about it. The city officers thanked us profusely and told us they were very capable of handling this, but they were repeatedly told to stand down,” he said. “They ...

MONEY Must FLOW to Baltimore

I believe I heard they were told to stand down as it was ‘just property’.
Yes, the mayor was quoted.
Baltimore needs as mayor, Toya Graham,,the mother that took his son from the mob.
Facts are irrelevant for Anarchists, Communists, professionals agitators and "community organizers" followers of Marxist Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" strategy.
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?

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

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.
If this was stated over the radio as he is quoted saying in the article it is only a matter of time until the recording is released. That will be very devastating. Sunshine is a great disinfectant.
“Lewis claims after the riots many officers told him they were done being cops in the city and how heartbroken they are that they were not allowed to defend their city and stop businesses from burning.”
I don’t blame them.
The recording is at the link.
Rush Limbaugh playing the interview with this sheriff right now.
I’m referring to the police radio recording, not the radio interview. The official police radio recording.
Mayor “Beauty School Drop Out” shows why it is important to have someone with at smarts and integrity in office.
“at smarts “?
Really computer?
Oh, you think it will be released?
Id bet hundreds if not thousands of written reports of her having said so exist.
heres the VIDEO of her inane statement!

The police take their orders from the administration. Any blame goes to the administration.
Maybe not, but I and several FReepers heard it and posted on the main thread that evening.
And they did (stand down). When they're told to confiscate all privately held firearms they will do that too.
though it IS odd to see this linked under ‘sports’.
That’s all these flippin’ commie hippies running most of our government agencies know, “Stand down”. It makes them sound “macho” and impresses their “wymyn”.
