Now Baltimore activists want the police back
American Thinker ^ | 01/03/2018 | John Washington

I remember a time in the not so distant past. The year was 2016, and racial tensions were running high. Freddie Gray was a resident of Baltimore, Maryland. He was arrested and notoriously died while in police custody. Soon afterward, Black Lives Matter and other activists became enraged. They began to protest the police department's presence in their neighborhoods over alleged brutality.

Let's fast-forward a couple of years later to present day. Now we see over 300 murders in the City of Baltimore this past year.

When I saw the number of murders, I was shocked. All of the intellectuals and activists on CNN told me that if there were fewer policemen in their neighborhoods, they would be much safer.

You can imagine my shock when I read that now there are calls for the police presence to pick back up in the black parts of town.

The city officials began working on a plan that took the police out of certain parts of the city. Instead of trusting its police officials to do their jobs, the city stepped in. In 2014, the murders totaled 211. Freddie Gray died in April of 2015, which sparked the riots and the knee-jerk reaction by city officials. The police were pulled back immediately. This caused the murder rate to increase to 315 the same year. But the city officials got what they wanted in less police presence. These types of numbers occur when people who are not trained and have no business making law enforcement decisions call the shots.

People think Black Culture is hyper masculine but that’s wrong, it’s feminized.

When someone tells you you’re doing it wrong no matter what you do, you know you’re essentially dealing with a woman.

Black ghettos are completely feminized.

They love hats and shoes, bright garish colors, their fights drag on forever, they hang out at malls...

the guys are probably more feminized than the women.

What do you expect with black-dominated Baltimore and black-dominated southern Chicago, where crime is literally out of control.

Last year a cop down in Louisville tweeted “if we really wanted you dead, we’d just stop policing your neighborhoods.”

He was disciplined for it.

Tell the activists that elections have consequences. They elected their Mayor, now live with the consequences.

Freddie Gray died in April 2015. Not 2016.

Who would even want to be a cop in Baltimore anymore? Good police officers should seek out greener pastures in other cities.

They want the cops back, but only if they don’t actually enforce any laws.

“Freddie Gray died in April 2015. Not 2016.”

Yes, the first year in the article should be 2015.

I no longer have any respect or sympathy for police officers who continuously allow themselves to be used and abused by the people and the governments of our urban jungles. These cops are no different than the worst sorts of venal moneygrubbers who prostitute themselves for filthy lucre.

If I were a Baltimore PO, I'd seriously consider following Dirty Harry's lead and tell the HACKtivists to use my badge as a seven point suppository

By the Paradox of Zeno, letting the murdering class murder each other, the problem solves itself in a few years.

I’m curious, how different is the black “culture” in places like Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago from that in Nairobi, Johannesburg, Lagos and any other black African city?

Is this a case of, “you can take the black out of Africa but you can’t take Africa out of the black”?

In other words is it mostly genetics and you can’t fix it by throwing money at it, or educate them, and that if we want to live in peace we better find a way for each side to have their own homeland?

Oh good Lord.

Amazing how somehow it’s always “womanly” to have everything bad.

Now Baltimore activists want the police back

Baltimore police should create BLM "friendly" "Safe Zones" where they promise to never go , no matter what, so they will accept criminals delivered to them out of the "Safe Zone" by BLM.

Every time the Ferals complain about "Racism" expand the zones.
