An unarmed black man was fatally shot on Thursday by officers in suburban Baltimore who thought he had a weapon when they were called to a home from which he was barred by protective order, the police chief said.
The death follows that of a 25-year-old black man, Freddie Gray, who died in April from an injury suffered in the custody of Baltimore city police, which prompted protests and rioting. And it comes amid a national debate over the treatment of African-Americans at the hands of police, after high-profile deaths of black men in Ferguson, Missouri, and New York City.

The "Reverend" Sharpton might have to tear himself away from Charleston early.
Sharpton: “Crap! We already shook down Baltimore.”
Good God. It's hard to imagine how some people live.
My “I care about this” meter is broken.
CNN have a race riot go team on the ground yet?
“Police said the woman had head injuries, cuts, bruises and swelling. Chief Johnson said she told detectives that McCain said to her, “You’re going to get the beating you deserve.”
Sixteen to 20 domestic violence calls had been made to that home address since 2012, police spokesman Cpl. John Wachter said.”
#blackwivesmatter Oh, wait.......
It wasn't this guy, was it?
See how the reporter ties this in with Baltimore and Ferguson.
Are ANY members of the political class finally going to stand up and say "enough"? Depending on weather factors, this could shape up to be one very ugly summer in the cities. And tourist places. And just about anywhere else people live or gather.
Oh yeah, the media template in full attack mode.
Any cop will tell you that domestic calls are about his/her least favorite kind of call to respond to.More often than not you deal with an absolute filthbag at such calls...and often *two* filthbags.
No time to look at this now.
I’m on my way to the Rawlings to take a Blake.
Obviously we don’t know all the facts here, but the fact that this was a domestic disturbance call (and that there had been so many previous calls) makes me think this was likely a justified shooting. DD calls can get very dangerous, very quickly, and the more there are to a given location/couple, the more dangerous they can be for the officers involved.
The MSM/Regime has ginned up the grievance machine to such an extent, I wonder how many people are just plain exhausted of it all and turned off. I know I am.
No human can be put under constant agitation and alarm without suffering physical and or psychological harm. It’s equivalent to running a car continuously at full throttle; burnout soon ensues. We’re burned out. Please, for the love of God, leave us alone!
With just a little forethought and planning, the perpetually aggrieved could find themselves in a Christmas in June situation. Just forget about CVS, Wal-Mart is the real bonanza.
Sorry, everything has already been burned down, and the stuff the Feds will pay to rebuild isn’t built yet - so can’t burn that.
I don't understand. How was he able to get on the property with the protective order in place?
/sarcasm
Well, the obvious solution is for more signs!
Obviously, the Confederate flag was responsible for this.
Oops.
