Police attacked, stores ransacked in Baltimore riots

Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson denounced the "epidemic of murders in the country."

"We have become too violent, too full of hate," Jackson told reporters before the service. "We need training, employment, housing, access to health, a reconstruction project. Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction."

Tensions have been on the rise in Baltimore since Gray's death, which his family's lawyers say was caused when his spine was mostly severed following his arrest.

Six officers have been suspended with pay pending the outcome of a police investigation that is to be submitted to state prosecutors by Friday.

The US Justice Department, which was already looking into Baltimore's use of force, has also opened its own civil rights probe.

Police confirmed Gray requested medical help and an inhaler after he was detained and acknowledged that he should have received medical attention sooner.

They also revealed that Gray, contrary to policy, was not buckled into his seat in a police van, which made at least three unexplained stops on its way to the city's Western District station, now the scene of nightly protests.

Gray's arrest was caught on video by bystanders, and he can be heard howling in apparent pain as his limp body is dragged into the van.

I guess there’s a sliver of a misguided reason for attacking the police, but what did the stores do, other than provide places to rob to get things you don’t want to pay for.

"Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson should denounce the "epidemic of murders in the country." multiple attempts by the Obama administration to create a nationwide rebellion so he can declare martial law.

Corrected.

Maybe Jesse could find time to denounce the black on black violence and murders and the black looting, violence, and arson in Baltimore.

They should have nipped this in the bud IMMEDIATELY with massive law enforcement EVERYWHERE.

OBAMA and the RATs allowed the same thing in the Middle East.... let the chaos fester, and this allows the ‘worst elements’ in society to gravitate and take over.

And why can you not provide these things for yourself? From whence do you think such things come?

***

Uh....if you burn down a business, you won't get employment.

Taxpayers have been offering them training, employment, housing and health care for decades. A great many of them don't want to take advantage of the opportunities they've been gìven. What more could we possibly do, short of dragging them to school or work?

FU, Jesse! Were it NOT for YOUR hand in the destruction of The American Black Family, no one would even know your name.

How I loathe these grifters! Parasites, All!

I see the Race Pimp is back for his cut of the money pie.

What is Jackson gave a press conference (or Sharpton for that matter), and no one came?

Their fame would die out in about 5 minutes.

But you know our liberal media. They’ll kiss any leftist/racist black or minority ass to get a non-story.

Give them a real story and they wouldn’t know how to handle it other than to ignore it.

I say this in shame in that I was a good street reporter back when accuracy and honesty were important elements in journalism. Today it is prettyboy/girl dimwits spoutings rehearsed imbecilic lines that are devoid of facts, meaning, context, and important.

Other than that, they are all Pulitzer Prize nominees.

Plus there is a LONG history of no one being prosecuted after these type events.

This is what happens when you elect Democrats people. Riots, no water, ect.

That was before she walked it back and explained the subtle nuanced meaning behind her go-ahead statement.
