The community didn’t want cops around. What’s the problem?
This wouldn’t be going on if there weren’t a juggernaut on the loose far bigger than Gray.
It began with “Acted stupidly” Barack and went on through Trayvon and Brown. There were salivating spoilers for a fight long before the Gray incident happened.
It looks like because of this clown fight, any chance for actual justice, or improvement, in the Gray situation will be thrown away.
They’re union guys. The will behave like union guys.
There is much to be said about Prince ObaMA supporting the people and not the police.... but then again, you deserve the government you vote for.
no, they’re making smart decisions. the lunatic county prosecutor charges you with murder if you make an arrest and something bad happens. the empty skirt mayor supports this lunacy.
baltimore is screwed. it’s over. if you can move, you should.
Would it really be so shocking to discover that yes, they are? Why wouldn’t they be ‘gun-shy’, hesitant to completely follow through on local crime in the way they were trained?
These police have learned that their Mayor, their Attorney General and even their Police Chief Batts have come to resemble three vultures ever circling for the carrion of another officer’s ruined career. The officers know they have no friends of influence at this time. The Governor Larry Hogan better find his way back home quickly and start speaking up, if he wants to show a positive influence. I have heard zero from this republican governor!
Yeah, Hogan is a Republican. No doubt.
Blame the Mayor and Obama.
Steve, this is just what the community wants. Besides, would you aggressively police Baltimore against the wishes of the Mayor and City Prosecutor?
You’re right; when the government has made it clear that race activists will determine the policies, it is time to flee.
Last week Newark NJ (along with neighboring welfare hives) presented Al Sharpton with the keys to their cities, driving a stake through the heart of any chance of an economic rebound (which had been a long shot to begin with). Their cops have been “de-policing” for years; they could lose their jobs, pensions, even freedom - for doing their job. When Newark laid off 160+ cops during a homicide streak a couple of years ago, the difference was negligible; there have been no real cops in Newark since the early 90s at best.
You call it “slowdown”, I call it giving the ‘tards what they asked for but were too stupid to know it.
The mayor threw the police under the bus. The officers know that they could be next if they have to use any amount of force to get a suspect to comply or defend themselves. Why risk it, just sit back and watch.
Blame all of us for leaving our protection to union thugs and allowing laws that keep us from protecting ourselves.
Yup .
Sow= Reap
Police have no duty other than to collect their paychecks and pensions...
If I were an officer, I’d be watching out for my butt.
No one will back them up!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
“The community didn’t want cops around. What’s the problem?”
Yeah, Stephanie wanted the cops to give “her people” room to crap in their own nests, so the cops are merely obliging her request. I don’t like it when cops abuse their authority, but the way they are handling this “investigation” stinks no matter who did what to whom. Don’t blame the Baltimore cops one bit. Evidently, Black lives don’t matter to Black “leaders.”
It would be strange if they were not.
