"Arm yourself because no one else here will save you."

No. Frankly, president or whoever is in charge of your country should step in, form commitee, that would once and for all investigate LEOs alleged "misuse of power" and then resolve the situation on the ground via national guard. You just cant let this go or be apathetic, this is your fucking country, not Somalia or Iraq.

They are supposedly doing that through DOJ, but stopping short of national guard-enforced martial law. Jim Crow laws which only disarm law-abiding blacks (and all other races that can't afford bribes) for the slaughter need to be civilly disobeyed.

Looted Drugs Fueling Deadly Turf Wars in Baltimore

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore’s top cop confirms what WJZ has been reporting – -almost 200,000 narcotics are on the streets of Baltimore, and police say they’re fueling deadly turf wars.

Police believe stolen prescription drugs are driving the violence sweeping the city.
“There’s enough narcotics on the streets of Baltimore to keep it intoxicated for a year,” Commissioner Batts said.

More than 175,000 units or doses of drugs were looted from 27 pharmacies and two methadone clinics during the April 27 riots. Almost half of those businesses haven’t even finished assessing what was stolen.

Crazy, it didn't even dawn on me that pre-x drugs were to blame for all the violence after the hoodlums ransacked these pharmacy stores until this story said the obvious. Can you imagine all the percecet, oxy and whatever else these lowlifes got ahold of? Shocked Free product instead of messing w/ the same old street stuff and look what happens!

Baltimore residents fearful amid rash of homicides

BALTIMORE (AP) — Antoinette Perrine has barricaded her front door since her brother was killed three weeks ago on a basketball court near her home in the Harlem Park neighborhood of West Baltimore. She already has iron bars outside her windows and added metal slabs on the inside to deflect the gunfire.

"I'm afraid to go outside," said Perrine, 47. "It's so bad, people are afraid to let their kids outside. People wake up with shots through their windows. Police used to sit on every corner, on the top of the block. These days? They're nowhere."

Perrine's brother is one of 36 people killed in Baltimore so far this month, already the highest homicide count for May since 1999. But while homicides are spiking, arrests have plunged more than 50 percent compared to last year.

The drop in arrests followed the death of Freddie Gray from injuries he suffered in police custody. Gray's death sparked protests against the police and some rioting, and led to the indictment of six officers.

Baltimore Gets Bloodier As Arrests Drop Post-Freddie Gray

BALTIMORE (AP) — A 31-year-old woman and a young boy were shot in the head Thursday, becoming Baltimore’s 37th and 38th homicide victims so far this month, the city’s deadliest in 15 years.

The most recent killings claimed the lives of Jennifer Jeffrey and her seven-year-old son, Kester Anthony Browne. They were identified by Jeffrey’s sister, Danielle Wilder.

Jeffrey and her son were found dead early Thursday, each from gunshot wounds to the head.
As family members cried and held each other on the quiet, leafy block in Southwest Baltimore where they lived, Wilder said she felt as if “my heart has been ripped out.”

Wilder said a neighbor called their other sister early Thursday, concerned that she hadn’t hear any noise coming from Jeffrey’s house: no footsteps, Wilder said, no voices, and no gunshots. But when her brother let himself into the house to check on the mother and son, he discovered their bodies.

Looks like these Baltimore folks will have to defend themselves from the parasites they live around cause it looks like the police are throwing the towel.

-----

West Baltimore residents worry they've been abandoned by the officers they once accused of harassing them, leaving some neighborhoods like the Wild West without a lawman around. "Before it was over-policing. Now there's no police," said Donnail "Dreads" Lee, 34, who lives in the Gilmor Homes, the public housing complex where Gray, 25, was chased down. "People feel as though they can do things and get away with it. I see people walking with guns almost every single day, because they know the police aren't pulling them up like they used to."

Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said his officers "are not holding back," despite encountering dangerous hostility in the Western District. "Our officers tell me that when officers pull up, they have 30 to 50 people surrounding them at any time," Batts said.

What percentage of those homicides were justified in self-defense, committed by those only "guilty" of the totalitarian-defined "crime" of possessing a self-defense tool?

Baltimore's mayor: Spike in crime 'disheartening'

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake called the city's recent spike in violence “disheartening” Thursday as police work to address a dramatic increase in homicides and nonfatal shootings.

“It’s extremely frustrating,” the mayor told reporters at a news conference. “It is disheartening, but I am still resolved to continue to reduce violent crime in our city.”

Rawlings-Blake said the city’s faced spikes in crimes in the past and police have been able to successfully reverse them. She said she’s “confident” police will do so again.

The city has experienced 100 homicides this year, compared with 71 at this time last year, the police department said. It's the fastest the city has reached 100 homicides since 2007. Last year, the city reached the mark on July 4. Nonfatal shootings are up more than 70 percent with at least 19 people shot on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Other Racial Divide
Were Asian-American businesses targeted in the Baltimore riots?

When guests at a North Korea Freedom Week dinner in Northern Virginia learned the Korean-American pastor at our table led a Maryland church, they immediately asked about the situation in Baltimore. It was May 1, and National Guard troops had been deployed to the city three days earlier to help quell the unrest sparked by the death of a man in police custody. The pastor let out a deep sigh before responding. A few members of his congregation had lost everything. After working diligently for years building small businesses in a new country, they watched their efforts literally go up in flames as looters trashed their shops and carted off their merchandise.

The crisis reminded many in America’s growing community of two million Korean immigrants and their descend-ants of another city’s devastation two decades earlier. Baltimore’s riots began two days before the anniversary of the outbreak of the 1992 Los Angeles riots, in which Koreatown, the heart of the Korean diaspora in America, was subjected to pogrom-like attacks by irate mobs. Though Asian Americans had nothing to do with either Rodney King’s or Freddie Gray’s injuries, they appear to have been the targets of some of the animosity unleashed by rioters.

While the Baltimore police continue doing what they want to be going unpunished will follow the same if no one puts an end, and I refer of course to politicians.

BALTIMORE PROSECUTORS IN FREDDIE GRAY CASE SEEK GAG ORDER

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Baltimore prosecutors are seeking a gag order as they pursue a criminal case against six city officers in the case of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old man who died a week after suffering a spinal injury while in police custody.

A court document that references the gag order, obtained by The Associated Press, is dated Wednesday. Assistant State's Attorney Antonio Gioia wrote that the gag order motion was mailed to defense attorneys.

Rochelle Ritchie, a spokeswoman for State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby, confirmed Friday the office is seeking a gag order. She declined to provide further details.

A gag order typically prevents attorneys and witnesses from publicly commenting on or releasing information about a particular case.

Mosby announced the charges, which range from second-degree misdemeanor assault to "depraved-heart" murder, in a lengthy news conference one day after receiving an investigative report from police. The May 1 announcement came after more than a week of protests that on two occasions gave way to rioting, prompting Democratic Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to implement a curfew and Republican Gov. Larry Hogan to declare a state of emergency for the city.

Something like this happened in Detroit last year. Everyone of these little parasites should be charged w/ aggravated assault w/ the intent to murder and the local NAACP should pay the tab plus heavy restitution. I sure as hell wouldn't have addressed any of these punks w/o a shotgun in hand and my .40 cal lodged in my Miami Classic II under one shoulder and 2 extra clips under the other.

So in order to hold officers accountable I purpose the solutions that I read about in an article on zero-hedge start hitting them where it hurts the most... their pocketbook.  Taking money from their paychecks and their pensions this will ensure that other officers will police each other when their all held responsible as a department for the bad officers actions.

You should investigate this new technology called "the market", it basically does this except it's p2p so you don't need an expensive middleman political system to sort out who gets money taken from and why.

Thank you I will look into it! Smiley

If you want the rioting to stop then start holding the police accountable for their actions, this is hard because most police departments in America has a gang mentality mindset of "us or them." So 9/10 nothing long-term happens to the officers that are being punished, sure you can dismiss him...he's got another position already waiting for him in the separate county a few miles down the way.

At the same time, that cop involved in shooting of Mr. Brown was freed by court, at the same time, couple of states down road black cop shot white teenager (who was also agressive). No riots by white mobs, no media storm. How does your emotional argument explain this difference?

I don't quite understand your question are you saying why is rioting justified because of him being a white officer?? That wasn't really my point I was speaking about police brutality and corruption in the different departments as a whole not really specifically about racial profiling(which does happen 9/10 towards African Americans more then White Americans that is proven). I believe that is the reason people make such a media frenzy when it involves African Americans because it shouldn't be like that, race shouldn't be the issue, but it is and that in turn continues to feed racism instead of just letting it die out with each passing generation its like a double-edge sword.

seems Gray was known to police for previous drug offences and at the time of the arrest was in possession of a switchblade.
Originally, it was thought that the blade was legal and now illegal. This guy Gray was not an angel which is why I'm not having this protesting crap atm. It's all about race at this point but shouldn't be.
