GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is speaking out about the Baltimore rioting.
“Today 85,000 Baltimore city children will not be going to school. Buildings have been set ablaze, stores have been looted, the police in the streets have been seriously injured, and strict curfews have been imposed,” Cruz says. “No man, woman, or child should fear for his or her safety in America–not in their schools, not in their neighborhoods, not in their cities–but today families are scared.”
More than 15 police officers were injured Monday night after high school students began to riot after school and the violence continued to grow throughout the night. Fox News reports more than 200 arrests thus far.
Cruz says the government has the responsibility to perform its central functions – to “preserve the peace, protect the people, and serve justice.”
He added, “We have to restore that trust and prove to the people we can make America safe again.”
The riot comes after a black man, Freddie Gray, died earlier this month while in police custody.
“Every case deserves justice, and the facts surrounding Freddie Gray’s death should be thoroughly and impartially investigated. But rioting and mayhem are not the answer,” Cruz explained. “While we continue to pray for a peaceful conclusion to the events in Baltimore–and pray for the families of those injured–I hope we all remember that our nation’s law enforcement consists of thousands of heroic officers who deeply respect the dignity of each person they serve to protect.”
Cruz went on to say targeting law enforcement for violence is wrong and it cannot be permitted.
“There is, and has always been, far more to celebrate in America than to worry about. Don’t lose sight of that fundamental truth,” Cruz added. “We will always face challenges and, together, we must rise to address them with strength

Ted Cruz Ping! And some think those of use who stockpile weapons and ammo are crazy.
Its a Civil War.. Lib inspired. HiJacked by Blackhearted thugs.. Aka democrats.. And anarchists.
” And some think those of use who stockpile weapons and ammo are crazy.”
I wonder how many lefties own guns, and never mention it to anybody?
Sounds presidential. Unlike the Kenyan Chief.
Many but since they never shot them for fear of someone learning their dark secret, they may as well not have one.
To be honest, I’m all for modifying the 2A so that leftists are not considered human for the purposes of God given rights to gun ownership.
If black lives don't matter, how come we allow mostly black rioters free rein to commit arson and assault police officers? If this were a Tea Party group doing the rioting, the streets would be filled with their blood!
SHUT UP, TED!!! These are Baraka’s sons and daughters!!!
Fine. I don’t consider leftists human anyway.
It’s amazing that in America 2015 free Speech means you cannot refuse to participate in a homosexual wedding because doing such is against your religious beliefs, and doing so will cost you everything you own.
But you can loot, riot, burn, assault, intimidate and terrorize, and it will cost you nothing, and your victims will shoulder the cost of this free Speech with no recourse at all.
This country has become bedlam.
I wonder how many lefties own guns, and never mention it to anybody?
The only ones that do are the ones that KNOW the evil they do IS evil, because a majority of the lefties *THINK* that they do what they do for good.
Only a small minority of lefties know the truth about their OWN movement, the rest are dumb unarmed sheeple.
Oh neither do I. I was just softening the blow for the delicate flowers on FR. But since you brought it up, I think they should be stripped of all rights, all possessions and at best, delivered outside our borders yesterday. And I say it with a clean conscience because they say the same about us on every leftist site out there.
That’s gonna make some heads explode. Maybe live on CNN.
They should immediately make toilet paper EBT eligible to forestall more rioting
Or, they think they can depend on the better nature of their conservative, gun-owning neighbors and family to protect them should the need arise.
Right~ If it was a Conservative Mayor saying such inflamatory things(of course would not happen) they would be hanging upside down like Musolini.
Sheeperals are into the “liberalism” to reinforce their own sense of righteousness.
There is a dichotomy of lefties. The evil and the sheeple.
I wish he would have said something harsher. I guess that’s not wise. I know what I would say and I would not get elected.
Go Cruz!!! probably America’s last hope.
