These questions are left in rhetorical form, because I suspect almost everyone at Free Republic understands the Answers--and is perfectly clear that those answers are the exact opposite of what it implied by those behind this latest attack.
The feds will coerce the city into a consent decree.
Sounds like Marilyn Mosby found another way to arrange sacrificial cops to Barbarian Lives Matter.
Baltimore was one of the test cities after Ferguson. Not hard to follow the dots from a president saying the [Cambridge] police acted stupidly from the very beginning of his first term in office to the UN recently favoring his goal to federalize all law enforcement as a good idea.
Knowing what we know about Holder and Lynch, I wouldn't put it past either of them to insert something like this incident into their report to prove the conclusion they had already arrived at before their investigation even started. That the Baltimore police department discriminated against those poor, black thugs about ready to commit some more crimes.
How federalizing the police forces will stop racial discrimination, is beyond me. One, the feds don't do anything very well to start with. Two, individuals are racist and discriminate, not departments. A federal police force will employee the very same law enforcement people on the job now. There are already laws against discrimination. If needed, enforce those laws and leave the policing to the local communities and states. Federalization will do nothing to stop individual officers from doing what they do now, trying to stop crime in our communities and make us safe.
Do we really want our policing to be taken over by the same federal government that just let HiLIARy off the hook? Or who tells us ObamaCare is working so well? Not I.
It’s a sad but true fact that black communities require more proactive policing than communities populated by other ethnicities.
During a ride-along with Justice Department officials, a sergeant instructed a patrol officer to stop a group of young African-American males on a street corner, question them and order them to disperse.
Really? Ole Sarge was that stupid? Sounds made up to me.
Besides they just put 6 officers on trial for pretty much the same general charges and all were acquitted.
Just another consent decree and the feds take over another police department.,.,by all means, keep sleeping.
First off. I don’t believe the report of the ride-along for a second.
Second. When you have a city that is 80% black then of course, most of the people you pull over are going to be black.
Third. Blacks tend to dominate public space in inner cities. Of course more blacks are going to be busted hanging out at a street corner when you have a majority black population.
Is it discrimination? Or self-preservation?
Watch “The Wire”.

Ok fine, prove it! Oh wait, that didn’t work out did it?
