Baltimore Residents Who Decried Police in Their Neighborhoods Now Want Them Back

No kidding? Now who would have thought that would have happened? :)

Gee that’s too bad.

My swimming pool water temp. is nearly 78 deg. lately. Its nice this time of year...

Excellent comments by the readers. Read them

No F’ing way, let them rot in the hell they helped create, they elected their socialist Democrat masters and jumped to the sound of the whip.

Now let them reap the harvest they have sown.

[SkyDancer]

Why? So they can claim more police brutality?

[Paulie]

Sorry, you’ll have to call 1-800-STEPHANIE.

I can’t find the comments on that site. What am I doing wrong?

[freedomlover]

I like cheese.

Better yet, let the law abiding residents arm themselves and form vigilance committees to protect their neighborhoods. Crime rates will plummet overnight.

It’s time for “Hillary’s village” to kick into action.

“It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us is a book published in 1996 by First Lady of the United States Hillary Rodham Clinton. In it, Clinton presents her vision for the children of America. She focuses on the impact individuals and groups outside the family have, for better or worse, on a child’s well-being, and advocates a society which meets all of a child’s needs.”

Unexpected.

It's also a really bad idea to cuss out the plumber when the water level in the basement is still rising.

As Lewis said about the violence, “I hope this is a shot fired across the bow of mayors and urban leaders across this country. Once you disembowel your law enforcement officers, then you cannot no longer expect them to go out there and protect you, or protect your communities. This is very troubling, the worst I’ve ever seen in 31 years of law enforcement.”

And that gives reason for Obama and the DOJ to take over local police departments -- by design.

The fundamental changing of America continues unabated.

[Jane Long]

Stop giving 0bola ideas ;-)

It’s unfortunate that Obama sent his people into Baltimore to create this mess. By promising $5000 a head he got a few locals involved but almost no one in Baltimore wanted this.

Now Obama’s people have left, they didn’t pay anyone, and the locals are stuck with the mess.

The mayor and police chief should resign so the new administration can get started cleaning up the city.

Anyone forecast this scenario?

The cops relent and come back.
The crime rate goes down.
As sure as the sun sets in the west, another incident will arise.
Once again the cops will be blamed for the actions that gets some thug killed.
The cops will back off again.
The crime rate will rise again.
The citizens of Baltimore will once again demand the cops come back and protect them.

Some people aren't smart enough to see larger patterns in human social interaction. Generally these people are Democrats who voted for Obama.
