I agree it can’t be exclusively about race in a city like Baltimore where blacks run just about everything.
The agenda seems to be more radical and ideological, violent and revolutionary with a strong desire to bring down institutions such as local police departments.
It is a demand for reparations, and quite frankly totalitarian government run by radical left socialists and Marxists with some radical Islam in the mix.
Vast Stretches Of Impoverished Appalachia Look Like They Have Been Through A War

If you want to get an idea of where the rest of America is heading, just take a trip through the western half of West Virginia and the eastern half of Kentucky some time. Once you leave the main highways, you will rapidly encounter poverty on a level that is absolutely staggering. Overall, about 15 percent of the entire nation is under the poverty line, but in some areas of eastern Kentucky, more than 40 percent of the population is living in poverty. Most of the people would work if they could. Over the past couple of decades, locals have witnessed businesses and industries leave the region at a steady pace. When another factory or business shuts down, many of the unemployed do not even realize that their jobs have been shipped overseas. Coal mining still produces jobs that pay a decent wage, but Barack Obama is doing his very best to kill off that entire industry. After decades of decline, vast stretches of impoverished Appalachia look like they have been through a war. Those living in the area know that things are not good, but they just try to do the best that they can with what they have.
In previous articles about areas of the country that are economically depressed, I have typically focused on large cities such as Detroit or Camden, New Jersey. But the economic suffering that is taking place in rural communities in the heartland of America is just as tragic. We just don’t hear about it as much.
Most of those that live in the heart of Appalachia are really good “salt of the earth” people that just want to work hard and do what is right for their families. But after decades of increasing poverty, the entire region has been transformed into an economic nightmare that never seems to end. The following is a description of what life is like in Appalachia today that comes from a recent article by Kevin D. Williamson...
“Once again, our politicians are betraying the American people and millions of jobs will be lost as a result.”
Tyler Durden is correct, that politicians of both parties are responsible for what has become of America today. But Democrats have perfected the destruction into an art.
Why do you think that only a few selected, cherry-picked incidents between the police and the "poor, innocent, black choir boys" are highlighted for Obama, the Department of Just Us and Al Charlatan to use as examples of how bad the white oppressive cops are in this country? Because it fits their narrative.
Baltimore was perfect because it is almost all democRATS and black. They are all in on the gig. This Freddie Gray case is just like Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Garner, in that it fits their narrative. There has been quite a few blacks killed in Baltimore since Freddie Gray was arrested but you won't hear about them. Why? Because they were shot by other blacks and not police officers.
This is just Obama following his Rules for Radicals and his community disorganizing background to create chaos in the country to justify federalizing the police. Al Charlatan even admitted as much when he said he was going to lead a march in DC to the DOJ to "demand" that they take over the local police agencies. He's just doing Obama's bidding.
