Baltimore riots and an idiot mayor,...

They can hold their protest on some railroad tracks for all I care, they are doing society as a whole absolutely no good while only creating an even larger racial rift in this country.

That is step one! lol But theres no reason for certain cops to act the way they do. They are making the whole force pay for something the small group of corrupt ones are doing.

Is that not the case in everything? A few lazy IT people make the whole profession seem like fat lazy bastards that sit around and play video games all day and drink colored Mt. Dew. A few Marines do some stupid crap to some girls in Japan and the whole force gets the blame and entire bases shut down. A few radicals do something and that entire group gets associated. Nothing new. I think a lot of people understand that and can see past the 'few'. But I also think a lot of people cannot. There will always be a few bad apples, I think it's impossible to eradicate that entirely.

Yea thats totally true. LOL at lazy IT people, too funny!

It's all about race, that's why I made my first post here, I think things have gotten way worse in the last 7 years, and I think a lot of that has to do with the response from the white house. Christians are beheaded almost daily around the world, WH radio silence. A war veteran is trapped in a Mexican prison, WH radio silence. A proven criminal gets hurt or killed evading or attacking police and a DOJ investigation is launched into potential police brutality. I don't remember anything like that happening even in the Clinton years.

I agree with others that the media definitely stokes this kind of behavior, but at the same time, I wouldn't guess most of the rioters in these situations are the CNN-watching type.

There is no denying it, the White House has been fanning the flames.

Don't they just sit in the shoutbox all day?
