The mayor fired the scapegoat police commissioner. Was he the one who originated the stand down order? Was he the one who said that those who wany to destory should be given space?
More evidence that Democrat Liberalism is a mental Illness.
The Mayor is responsible for more crime and more black on black homicides 100%. She should resign.

I’m beginning to suspect that Ms. Rawlings-Blake has a truth aversion complex. However, she does have that whole hotness thing going on so maybe I’m just wrong?

These are the same people who, years ago, made its then-apolitical member Dr Ben Carson un-invite Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas from one of their events.

She’s so flustered and confused she fired a black man and replaced him with a white.

So much for Helping a Brother out! Ha.
