A little over two years ago Freddie Grey, a Baltimore criminal, died in the back of a police van. This lead to days of rioting which lead to many deaths and much of the city in ruins. The rioters were probably taking Mayor Stephanie-Rawlings-Blake at her word when she claimed they needed 'space to destroy' ....you know, to assuage their grief at Freddie's death. She and her top law enforcement officials (seen in the top pic...clearly great legal minds, driven by a thirst for justice) came up with additional measures to get the city back on an even footing.
Marlyn Mosby the State's Attorney (the epitome of the angry black affirmative action woman) immediately put the cops on trial and in the finest traditions of African justice virtually declared them guilty before they ever appeared in court. In fact all the cases against them collapsed.....opening the gates for more 'space to destroy'. Other measures included keeping police off the streets in 'sensitive' (i.e.black) neighbourhoods and forcing White policemen to retire, to be replaced by corrupt and incompetent minorities who immediately realised that stopping crime in 'sensitive areas' would more likely lead to the police ending up in the dock than the criminals.
Well lots actually. The new Mayor is 'deeply concerned' by the ensuing crime rate. Murders are now at a record rate (more than 300 this year so far, Montana by contrast has had 37) but as one journalist noted 'much has been made of the staggering pace of killings in Baltimore. But less known are the increases in rapes, robberies, assaults, burglaries and arsons this year.' By taking encouragement from the two-day 'ceasefires' (sic) arranged with the thugs the Mayor inadvertently revealed the city to be a war zone. Meanwhile Whites and businesses - same thing really - flee the city, further impairing the city's finances. So the city Administration now wants 'assistance' - which means White taxpayers picking up the tab yet again for the incompetence and depredations of the black undertow.
This is but the tip of the iceberg. Municipal pension funds are insolvent right across the country but self-evidently the worst are in minority-run areas. Take out the popcorn and enjoy the fun. They might yet make good on their threat to return to Africa if things turn out badly enough.
