 Demonstrators throw rocks at the police after the funeral of Freddie Gray on Monday, April 27, 2015, at New Shiloh Baptist Church in Baltimore. Gray died from spinal injuries about a week after he was arrested and transported in a Baltimore Police Department van. 8:15 p.m. Police say 15 officers have been injured in the Baltimore riots and two are still in the hospital. More than two dozen people have been arrested after people looted stores, set cars on fire and threw bricks at police. The riot started just hours after the funeral for Freddie Gray, who died following injuries he suffered while in police custody. 8 p.m. The mayor of Baltimore says she will impose a weeklong curfew after people looted stores, set fire to cars and threw bricks and other objects at police officers. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake says a curfew will be imposed beginning Tuesday from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. The mayor, a lifelong Baltimore resident, says too many people have spent generations building up the city for it to be destroyed by "thugs." The riot began hours after the funeral for Freddie Gray, who died after suffering an injury in police custody. People are looting stores at a mall where the riots in Baltimore started. As police moved away from the mall into a nearby neighborhood, the mall became unprotected and people started carrying clothes and other items away. Cars have been burned, other stores have been looted and a pharmacy caught fire during the mayhem. The riot started hours after Freddie Gray was buried. The governor of Maryland has declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard to help with the violence and rioting in Baltimore. A pharmacy that has been looted in the Baltimore riots is on fire and police are trying to keep people back as firefighters battle the blaze. Smoke is pouring out of the CVS pharmacy, which is about 1.5 miles from downtown Baltimore. Some people cut holes in a hose that firefighters were using. Nearby, liquor stores were busted open and being looted. People were in the streets drinking while police stood still nearby. Protesters are looting a check-cashing business and other stores in Baltimore, busting through the windows and climbing inside to take items. Cars have been lit on fire and a large group of youths threw rocks, bricks and other items at police. As people arrived home from work, some yelled at the youths to stop causing trouble. Oh boy! here we go again. http://www.mail.com/news/us/3507534-latest-police-custody-death-marchers-take-to-streets.html#.7518-stage-hero1-6 |

The White House says the Baltimore mayor updated Obama on the situation and that Obama told her his administration would provide assistance as needed.
The White House says Obama also discussed the rioting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who was sworn in hours earlier. Obama and Lynch met in the Oval Office while violent scenes of rioting in Baltimore played out on television. Gray died April 19 after suffering a mysterious spinal injury while in police custody. The Justice Department and local authorities are investigating. Oh great! Obama's on it.

As individuals, humans can be impressively brilliant.
In large groups? Dumber than a sack of hammers. |

Part of the problem in many urban governments is the institutional resistance to overhauling the police department. As a labour group the police and fire departments by virtue of their sheer size control a substantial voting block which politicians pander to. When citizens come to city council meetings or police committee hearings and complain of profiling and heavy handed treatment, the complaints are paid lip service to, and the mayor calls the police chief to ask him to talk to the troops.
An e-mail gets sent to the rank and file, 'be nice to the locals' and they laugh it off because in the world of dealers, gang bangers, pimps, and wannabes there are no nice ones. The punks friends and family live their lives through the criminality of others and won't or don't turn them in. For those who are honest, and who live in these neighbourhoods and are subjected to DWB (driving while black) traffic stops, or harassed and stopped and frisked and maybe slapped around a little enough finally became enough. What was a small problem finally blows up into people who normally wouldn't loot the CVS running out the door with a shopping cart full of stuff figuring the system owes him, so why not get some payback? Other people see it as a route to federal urban renewal monies. Burn down some buildings, shoot at some cops, and have a city sized temper tantrum. What happens? The feds pump in money for job programs, recreation centers, cultural programs, and rebuilding of streets and parks. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton pay you a visit, and maybe Obama himself will show up to cut the ribbon. |

Well call me cynical, but the pastor who did the eulogy sent the crowd out the door of his church with "No Justice! No Peace!" ringing in their ears.
Cellphone video of the church service was posted online showing him exhorting "No Justice! No Justice!" and the crowd answering back "No Peace!" He then says "No Justice! No Peace!" and he's then seen a couple hours later on CNN saying he is so surprised and saddened by the rioting. Um really Boo Boo? Seems you me you may have jinned up the crowd a bit on the way out the door. I'm not hearing his final thought for the crowd as being one of love, peace, and acceptance. Makes you wanna say 'hmmmmmm'. |

If favor is shown to the wicked, he does not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he deals corruptly and does not see the majesty of the Lord.

It's already been revealed that this was a coordinated effort between the Nation of Islam, Bloods, Crips and other criminal gangs to take advantage of a situation. Declare the Nation of Islam a domestic terrorist organization and start putting these a$$holes down in the street like the animals they are. |

Don't you all see what's happening here? We are being set up for a police state. The abuse of power escalates deliberately --> setting up the people to fight back --> the power abusers cry that they need to beef up their control --> police state. The game works and we play right into their hands. Psychological warfare. Men, people are really stupid sheep. The powerful have us exactly where they want us, hanging by the b a lls. The masses are so easy to manipulate and control. We think we are one up on them. It's the other way around. They are always 2 steps ahead of us and sinisterly laughing their heads off. Depressing.

Yet another sad day. I don't believe, that this, is what MLK marched and ultimately died for. For this? Nope, MLK was a great man and Uncle Jesse and the Dishonorable Al have polluted his legacy and efforts. I guarantee he is rolling over in his grave right now. |
