The Baltimore Mayor "let the riots happen"?The police were not in full swing. She restricted them. She didn't use all her resources, not because she couldn't, but because she didn't want to. It's very obvious from the things she stated. Below is a video of the Chicago Police during the 1968 Democratic convention. There was limited if any looting or property damage from protesters due to the fact Mayor Daley empowered the Chicago Police to maintain order by any means necessary, and they did. Baltimore Police should have acted in similar fashion and they wouldn't have all this fucking mayhem over the killing over this kid they didn't know and don't give two shits about anyway. It's all about race versus authority not justice. Mayor Rawlings as well as other city officials did not take control over the situation. They did a lousy job. They've ruined their Police Dept. and their City by failing to control the situation. They let the situation control them. Sorry, but one dead dummy doesn't justify out of control losers to destroy businesses and other property. It's totally unacceptable.
SERIOUSLY? HOW? BE SPECIFIC!!
Did she possess some type of magical power that would have allowed her to stop people from rioting?
Did she tell the Baltimore police force to stop working and sent them all home?
Regarding her comments, I think she was being realistic. I would agree that loss of property is less significant than loss of life. That does NOT mean she was encouraging rioting and looting. Originally Posted by PizzaLover
