Baltimore Erupts into a National Disgrace

[Saladin2]

2015 and Race Relations in America's inner cities seem to be no better than 1965, 50 years ago....Will Americans step up and start to address the issue?.....Will police depts review their procedure and protocol?...Will the Black community step up and address the lawlessness and looting?Will Al Sharpton quit making excuses and make things worse with his race baiting?...Will Fox News acknowledge the many local residents that did not loot and tried to prevent the madness?...Or will be both sides continue to blame each other, shouting so loud nobody hears anything?...America can do better...America must do better

For Once Saladin I totally agree with you. We may have our political differences but on this one you got it absolutely right. There is no place for racism in our country and the police need to be trained and monitored. They need to practice tolerance and understanding and not be so quick to over react when any incident occurs regardless of the race of the people involved. Targeting needs to stop and heavy handed tactics should be outlawed. Granted the police have a tough job but they also need to be assertive without going overboard. When and if the police commit violations they should be held accountable just like any citizen would be. There are a lot of very good police out there but there are also bad ones and these officers should be identified and released from duty.

You aren't taking into account how much trouble was gone to for the present situation to exist. The chaos is by design. Getting people to accept and perhaps even ask for martial law is the goal.

They love it when a plan comes together.

$BILLIONS wasted on HUD PROJECTS that are built and destroyed since 1965 by the same people that are now destroying inner city businesses...............
