LEFTIST PROTEST #7: BALTIMORE RIOTS
Only a few months after the riots of Ferguson and the appearance of a group of protesters who dubbed their movement Black Lives Matter, Freddie Gray was approached by police in Baltimore and found him to be wielding a switchblade and arrested him. Putting him inside the van to take him downtown, Gray was found to be, upon arrival, unresponsive and in a coma. The hospital said he had suffered a spinal cord injury and that he had died from this wound a week later.
State Attorney General Marilyn Mosby immediately came out to blame police officers, leveling a series of charges that was longer than “War and Peace,” at the same time that Gray’s father was calling for peace and calm. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake made a very controversial decision to pull police back from the streets as a crowd gathered in Baltimore and business owners throughout the city left town. Even the unprecedented move of canceling a Baltimore Orioles baseball game that evening was made. The result was an all-night looting, arson, and violence-filled rampage at the expense of the Baltimore downtown business district. The mayor famously said later regarding the decision to pull police back, “We also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well.” Thirty-four people were arrested, 15 officers were injured, and the Maryland governor declared a state of emergency as the MD National Guard was activated. More than 500 state troopers were funneled into the city, including 5,000 others from neighboring states to restore order.
US Attorney General Loretta Lynch, the following year, spoke about launching a full investigation and assessment of the entire Baltimore police force and possibly “federalizing” it as well. The police officers involved were all later acquitted of wrong-doing. Following their acquittal, the officers sued AG Mosby for malicious prosecution, defamation and invasion of privacy.

But they all want the same thing!
You going to wait until they’re trashing the Capitol Rotunda, or assailing the White House before you start putting these thugs in the ground?
Karma baby, stupid has its consequences.
They all should do this as a sign of unity.
