Baltimore declared protests and clashes between police and protesters an emergency and deployed the National Guard to quell protests. What do you think about this?
I have no problem with it. What is the governor suppose to do, let the rioters burn Baltimore down to the ground?
Quell? Really? You mean like was done by authorities in Ferguson...when they acted as silent witnesses to the looting carnage that occurred there?
The governor? How about the liberal Dem mayor of Baltimore? I'm sure Gov. Hogan gave her all the rope she needed to delay her request for an 'emergency' and a request for the National Guard. Much too late as the looters have a 'hay day' and businesses are set on fire. Nice. Anarchists run rampant in the streets. Liberal Dems showing their true colors again.
Apologies. My word choice was bad. I did not mean to cast the governor's choice in a bad light. I actually think she let the rioters run freely for too long before calling in the National Guard.
https://news.vice.com/article/riots...on-the-ground-with-city-in-state-of-emergency What do you think - Western society adopted with enthusiasm protests in Baltimore? Against the corrupt police? Against police violence? The Western world is very much admired protests in Ukraine. Is not it? Soon you will learn all the "charm" of the Civil War. Today in Baltimore - tomorrow everywhere. Incidentally, the Russian could help the protesters in Baltimore. Lavrov could give cookies for demonstrators. "Unknown" snipers could shoot at the police and demonstrators simultaneously..... Repeat the Ukrainian scenario.....But you're in luck. Putin is not such a scoundrel as American policy. What do you think about this? You understand that the United States - a fascist state? As we know from physics: action - causes a reaction. Are you ready for racial conflicts? P/S: I have heard that three large black bands (from 50 up to one hundred thousand members) declared a truce to fight with the police.
Nah, they destroy their own neighborhoods. Police go where the crime is. No need to crow about other countries when you have your own problems like the Biryulyovo riot. I know US riots are popular in Russia but only because it distracts them from their own problems. Here is what more parents should be doing. [video=youtube_share;zM31KYdswYU]http://youtu.be/zM31KYdswYU[/video]
1. Revolt in Biryulyovo - a consequence of ethnic clashes grupirovok. Riot in Baltimore - a consequence of the terror of power. You see the difference? 2. You have delusions of grandeur. Riots in the US do not bother Russian. Most of Russian do not care what happens in the United States. Naturally this does not apply if the Russian. For example riot in Baltimore few people are interested. But sanctions are very pleased in Russian. 3. Are you ready for racial conflicts?
As our Founding Fathers said over two hundred years ago, it is the lack of justice that causes disorder in society. They also said an armed citizenry is the best guarantee against government abuses. For too long the people of Baltimore have been subjected to government abuses from police. An armed citizenry is the ideal solution to stop that nonsense once and for all - just like in Texas: If you are a big supporter of Second Amendment rights, you should agree.
And isn't it funny how so many from the far right insist that our government needs to intervene in foreign affairs such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict but insist the government has no business stopping police from abusing people domestically.
What - "BS"? I do not understand slang. 3. No. I mean something like Rwanda and Burundi. By the number of violent power in relation to the black population, US = Rwanda
Total FAIL on this one. The mayor and police chief are Black, and Whites are a minority within the police department.
I totally agree with you. Police kill the black population of the US, like an African safari. And no one was punished. These are signs of a fascist state. Maybe soon the power to make a "night of the long knives"? As in Nazi Germany in the 30s? No punishment for the police. You can only punish defenseless citizens.
the police, I heard on the news Baltimore Police force is either 45% black and 41% white or vice versa.
Right, wrong or indifferent perhaps you should look at this: Homicide According to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008 while making up only 12.6% of the population, with whites 45.3%, while making up 72.4% of the population and "Other" 2.2%. The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites (per 100,000), and the victim rate 6 times higher (per 100,000). Most murders were intraracial, with 84% of white homicide victims murdered by whites, and 93% of black victims murdered by blacks. Youth crime The "National Youth Gang Survey Analysis" (2011) state that of gang members, 46% are Hispanic/Latino, which makes up 16.4% of the population, 35% are African-American/black, 12.6% of the population 11.5% are white, 72.4% of the population and 7% are other race/ethnicity.
I do not envy you. The only thing that restrains racial conflicts - more or less high standard of living. But the economy is heading for the abyss. This fact does not deny anyone. Racial conflicts - is inevitable. And very soon. - - - Updated - - - Time is the most honest man.
Perhaps. Maybe Gray's death was just an excuse a lot of these people were waiting for to loot and riot? I have no doubt that whatever the reason, both Baltimore and Ferguson has caused the divide to widen. Any legitimate beef with the police has been lost on most people in all this violence. It seems the original reason and perhaps the villain of the cause has been lost. Now the villains are those black looters and rioters are the villains.
Please don't interrupt their illusions with facts and logic. They have a race bait agenda they must tend to.
