New Yorkers With Baltimore Ties Warn Similar Unrest Could Occur in NYC

New Yorkers familiar with Baltimore say tensions between police and residents—especially young people in that city—have been at a boiling point for years.

"Many of them are not really heard. Their future of course in a place like Baltimore is very tenuous towards success. And I believe they acted out," says retired NYPD Chief Kevin Clark.

Kevin Clark is a retired NYPD Chief and was Baltimore's Police Commissioner. He says factories have left Baltimore, creating poverty and despair.

"It is probably some of the roughest neighborhoods in America. Baltimore has probably one of the most drug-addicted city's in the United States with heroin," Clark says.

Carl Dix, who has led anti-police brutality protests in New York, was raised in Baltimore and says it's a hard life.

"A lot of people growing up with no future and what they get is the police on them 24/7," says Carl Dix of the Stop Mass Incarceration Network.

“boiling point for YEARS”?

A bit of hyperbole wouldn’t you say, Deano?

New York City is much more than just mid and downtown Manhattan. There’s been several riots over the years in Brooklyn

Personally though, I do hope these protesters turn on the White Liberals.

Considering no group & philosophy in history has caused the human race more evil, misery, failure and bloodshed, they will get what they deserve.

When they are huddled all alone, hungry in the dark and the mob shows up outside, and as they are being dragged out into the street, maybe, just maybe they will finally grasp what a bunch of fools they have been.

Yeah, inner city riots are the next great sporting venue. ESPN will be covering them soon.

For riots to take hold, it seems there has to be a nearby residential population to fuel them once outside agitation initiates the anger. I'd be wary anywhere there's a concentrated under-class population within marching distance of targets worth looting and burning. Outside the cities, police authorities and business owners have to be wary of outsiders coming in and provoking a situation just to manufacture outrage.

In the Summer of 1968, I was caught in a riot situation in Boston Common, on what was a peaceful, pleasant day. Nobody could tell what started it; it was spontaneous eruption. It was totally unnerving, and has me very used to watching my surroundings. It would be far worse today with so many more people armed and with instant communication.

I don't have any intention of being in or near large crowds this summer.

Join society already. Get a job. Stop committing crime. Don’t run from police. Pretty simple really.

Sure and coincidentally it will happen just after the new Air Jordans are released.

If you cannot admit that democrats have spent the last 50 years destroying large American cities then your comments are worthless. Except as fuel on the fire, maybe.

Step 1: Take out DeBlasio
Step 2: Make sure rioters leave plenty of their teeth in the street.

About this "jobs" thing, with "factories" leaving, etc. etc." Despite of decades of blacks controlling public inner-city education, the homies of the 'hood are usually (a) completely illiterate and unable to adequately communicate in standard American English
(b) fed, clothed, entertained, doctored, and housed at my expense and have no incentive to work
(c) quite senselessly violent toward each other, never mind "White" America.
(d) factories and jobs go to white rural America, where those not hopelessly strung out on methamphetamines may actually know how to use a screwdriver with minimal training and can make it to Day 2 of their employment.
and now for something embarrassing: who the hell in his right mind would invest anything in an inner-city environment to be whimsically destroyed by a hostile population?

IMNVHO, the cause of economic parity for African-Americans has been dealt a mortal blow by the wholesale illegal importation of Mexicans, who, whatever their other numerous unattractive qualities, are desperate enough to be taught jobs, do them adequately, and are smart enough and docile enough to do as they are told without hostile feedback. They now outnumber our native blacks by 3-1, completely replacing them in the job market.

The Negroes have yet to catch onto the scam. In fact, their votes help keep it going.

"A lot of people growing up with no future and what they get is the police on them 24/7, because of their behavior."

If Mr. Dix was an honest man, he would have completed that sentence as I have for him.

Is 'young people' the new term for 'black thugs'?

I don't think so. Unlike Baltimore, New York City does have the finance and mass media industries to protect, and they're not going take any Bravo Sierra from any agitators. Remember, after the Eric Garner decision, while protesters did block streets, there was no significant attempt at serious rioting and looting like what happened in Baltimore two nights ago.

Plus NYC has/had better mayors who allowed police to be more aggressive toward protestors/rioters.
