Apparently “disheartening” is synonymous with “predictable” in her dictionary...

They already have an former Oakland Police chief there. Swapping happens all the time.

Breaking on FoxNews is that a Grand Jury has indicted the 6 officers.

It’s going to get much worse in Baltimore.

Nitwit! You made sure it was “anything goes” for your thug constituents. You’re the one who neutered your own police force you idiot. Why aren’t your Fed buddies taking over the policing for you and doing the “right” way? You’re certainly following the Detroit model there in Baltimore.

Her problem is she thinks "her" people actually listen to her and her minions...

Acting like typically plantation owners, overlords of the land......

Massa says behave...

She thinks they will...

Shocked when they don't...
