BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore police are sweeping the downtown area Monday after they found bricks and bottles with potential accelerants in them, officials confirmed to WJZ.
In a tweet, police said, “The BPD is committed to protecting rights and facilitating peaceful protests to ensure the safety of everyone. Small stashes of potential weapons have been located. If you ‘See Something, Say Something.’ Call 911 if you see anything that could be used to incite violence

There’s rumors that the police are leaving pallets of bricks around to trick protestors into becoming violent. This is disinformation. Baltimore police scoured the city for stashes of projectiles, accelerants, etc. and as a result the instigators were cut off from their supplies and the city didn’t burn.
“...Just as the most poisonous form of disorder is the mob incited from high places, the most immoral act the immorality of a government, so the most destructive form of untruth is sophistry and propaganda by those whose profession it is to report the news.”
Walter Lippmann, Liberty and the News, 1920
quite apt in our present era.
Its just like Harry Potter.... magically things show up and no one asks how or why.
At this point I don't rule anything out. Police forces are Union run operations so anything is possible.
Commence flaming. I'm prepared.
“the most poisonous form of disorder is the mob incited from high places”
Made me think of DeBlasio for some reason,
Isn’t this were they “just needed room to break stuff” last time?
This is not about the unfortunate man’s death. This is full force civil disorder for the purpose of bring Trump down. No other reason.
Or maybe, like Frisco yesterday, the PD put an officer on each stack of bricks until they could be removed?
I’m not going to flame you, but this was on the ground on Monday and the police found all the anarchists goodies and got them off the street before the protests. The city didn’t burn. I say job well done Baltimore City Police Department.
Can’t imagine why... /sarc
Yeah... evidently they are over that
Aren’t there cameras at every corner in this country? They sure would come in handy right now, for a GOOD CAUSE.
This is to bring down Trump and the whole country. I think you can thank the communists for this.
Fast & Furious with bricks?
“(W)e also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well” …Stephanie Rawlings-Blake’s infamous last words. The Democratic leaders of cities and states were just itching for a redux, especially with Trump in the White House.
Did it work?
But Lindsay Graham said these wuz just organic riots... can’t blame this on antifa
Got to wonder about that, particularly in NYC
I saw a picture of 2 boston cops with a black hummer-is pickup truck with bricks in parking in an alley. Whether they are dropping them off or picking them up, I couldn’t tell. But this should raise an alarm here.
Guy tracks a bit like a sine wave. Sometimes he’s good and other times wrong wrong wrong
