How would MLK feel about the police throwing an injured suspect in a police wagon and that suspect going into a coma while in the police wagon the dying a week later?
Don Lemon, CNN, got blunt with that mayor, on LIVE TV. She let Baltimore burn by dilly dallying, giving them “space” to be destructive and guard their “free speech”, nevermind the neighborhood suffering. The thugs knew the police were under manned. The neighborhood despise her for the inaction of the cops.
The governor was present at this dressing down. He said the Guard has been ready since Saturday, but he had to wait for the mayor to call him for help.
What a waste. Cops just standing in place watching all this, so the criminals could have their “space” and “speech”. Ridiculous. Sad for the police.
This is also a legitimate issue. No one wants to be tortured, persecuted, or terrorized by the police, whether they be federal, state, or local. And this definitely needs to be looked into.
Unfortunately, this issue has been forgotten and left in the background because this inexcusable behavior has been used by the Left to advance its own agenda. And that agenda--which includes a nationalized Gestapo-style police force and concentrating on punishing "couterrevolutionaries" and letting "revolutionaries" perform "their historic mission"--is not the answer to actual police brutality.
