Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is not an easy person to take seriously, but her decision to give space to those “who wished to destroy” has at least made her interesting.
Her office says she was misunderstood regarding her alarming “space to destroy” remark. However, it has been revealed that she did order police to stand down so that the rioters could destroy her city:
Despite a firm denial by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, a senior law enforcement source charges that she gave an order for police to stand down as riots broke out Monday night, raising more questions about whether some of the violence and looting could have been prevented.
The source, who is involved in the enforcement efforts, confirmed to Fox News there was a direct order from the mayor to her police chief Monday night, effectively tying the hands of officers as they were pelted with rocks and bottles.
Asked directly if the mayor was the one who gave that order, the source said: “You are God damn right it was.”
To quote Ms. Rawlings-Blake: “Let them loot, it’s only property.”
She meant, “it’s only other people’s property” — and if she had any respect for that, she wouldn’t be a Democrat.
Stephanie appears to be taking orders directly from Obama’s top advisor (some would say supervisor). Valerie Jarrett has been in “regular contact” with her according to a White House spokesman.
Not just anybody gets orders directly from Obama’s babysitter. Rawlings-Blake has a leadership position in the DNC. From 2013:
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake will become the secretary of the Democratic National Committee on Tuesday, giving her a prominent role in national politics.
The appointment, which has not been formally announced, will give Rawlings-Blake a voice in the party’s national political apparatus…
This might explain why a mayor is implementing national policy regarding encouraging blacks to riot, as the Obama Administration did more directly in the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown spectacles.
Stephanie was one of three members of the Panel of Mayors involved in “The President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing (PDF),” a project intended to work toward the authoritarian objective of nationalizing local police. This is a prerequisite for transitioning from a soft to a hard tyranny, and goes a long way toward explaining the contrived and massively hyped crisis of “racist” police allegedly oppressing black criminals.

She, like other black politicians, can afford to not care if the city burns down. The fedgov will just put the screws tighter to the taxpayers to rebuild anything they want to rebuild for their Potemkin villages. They don’t have to actually rebuild it in a useful way, just enough to give the media something to show when they get ready to air the stories about the “community coming together” to rebuild (with YT footing the bill, of course).
None of this is happening by accident. This is being remote-controlled by the White House and the Dept. of Just Us. This is straight out of the playbook of Rules For Radicals. It is so blatant, it is obvious.
Why else would this hyphenated woman say something so stupid? Because she was being coached behind the scenes on how this Baltimore scenario needed to play out.
And why is Al Charlatan there now being the out-front spokesperson for the mayor? He's coming in on orders from his boss, I-hate-white-cops-Obama to stir up the pot some more and create so much chaos and disorder, that Obama will have no choice but to nationalize local law enforcement agencies with an executive order. Charlatan even said that in his statement yesterday. He's going to hold a march in DC to demand that the DOJ take over the US police agencies. Nationalize law enforcement and the problem will be solved.
And except for that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
