Baltimore Police: Gangs Enter Partnership to ‘Take-Out’ Officers [W:99]

I think it would be only natural to get ticked off having a mob come along and hurl projectiles at you. The videos taken and posted online show a few scuffles but for the most part a lot of white folks were standing behind the barriers and having trashcans full of bottles and anything else these heathens could get their hands on and thrown at the people. And when one of the patrons confronted this out of control I heard folks pleading with the rioters to stop and asking where in the world were the police? I saw this out of control mob jumping on cars with folks inside them bashing in windshields and other cars being destroyed. I saw a guy get hit with something and it knocked him to the ground and then the rioter came over while he was down and started pounding on him with his fists. I saw people inside some establishment where things were being thrown through the windows and all you could hear was screaming. It was well reported that right at Camden Yards the police in riot gear were being pelted with trash as well and the rioters were in their face but they had been given orders not to react. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior.

This is the last time I am addressing you because you keep leaving out facts. Reading bull**** articles from whatever rightwing blog you want doesn't given you the facts.

Drunk bar patrons were using racial slurs towards protestors. Chants of "run them over" as well. That's what started it. BCPD (Baltimore Police) which always has a presences there didn't break it up then. They let it go and then a bar patron throws a beer can.. then another and another.. That's when it kicked off.

"I don’t know who threw something first, but I heard a shift to jeers and boos from the people drinking and ran right over to it and saw beers being tossed from behind a gate that keeps Pickles drinkers from standing in the road and bottles being whipped back at the drinkers. Some people at Pickles stood up and moved toward the protesters though they were protected by the gate. Then, protesters pulled away the gate protecting Pickles customers from the street. Men from Pickles and elsewhere charged toward the protesters and the protesters charged the Pickles customers. It was at this point that I stopped being a journalist and became someone who was trying to help out."

learn the truth!




Both sides were absolutely guilty in the incident but it started with drunk fans (Orioles and Red Sox) chanting **** that was highly racial. Now one group wants to play innocent because they were idiots and decided to encourage racist chants by their friends and thought they were untouchable. You fell hook line and sinker into a bull**** narrative.

As you were the one originally making the off topic remark you are doing no such thing.

The best thing you can do is stop replying.

So, no, you can't find an example. But I knew that anyway.

Are you truly an ex con, or do you just have a side stepping user name, while really being just another apologist for police corruption? Noting your typical interest at DP.

No I don't think I have fallen "hook line and sinker into a bull**** narrative." There are dozens of videos showing the ball fans asking the rioters to please stop only to have something thrown at them. If one was to believe your narrative, almost every dang ball fan there was drunk. The videos don't prove that out either. Every major news media had reporters there covering the protest. When the violence broke out some had camera crews some gave descriptions over the phone of what was happening. They don't match your account either. You have provided one article that claims the ball fans started the riots. One...........

YOU HAVE.

I was at Pickles on Saturday as I already told you. I watched with my own ****ing eyes what happened as it's a game My wife and I go to each year (as she from Boston). You wanna pass judgement go ahead. But I heard a few Red Sox fan call protestors N*ggers and my wife telling them to shut up. I which point they attack my wife for being a N*gger lover. My wife gave me the look... and those boston fans threw **** at me after I step upped. My words to them.. what happens next is on them. So don't believe a word or camera phones that were started after the fact.

I knew the people protesting and they knew me. I wasn't attacked by them. Rather I got bottles thrown at me, punched and kicked by drunk baseball fans in Pickles because I wouldn't stand for the word N*gger.

Your ignorance and your reliance on social media doesn't fly with me. I got the black eye, broken tooth, and bruised ribs. What do you have? Video after the fact. Congrats... you are a gullible puppet.

Its relevant to your perpetual apologetics of any police excess. But upon further consideration, never mind, I really don't care. You'll be here, thick and thin, defending even the most apparent excess.

You are again speaking nonsense.
Whether I am or am not an excon is irrelevant to this discussion.
Just as if you are or are not an excon is irrelevant to this discussion.

Nor do I engage in apologetics for anyone.

You not understanding these things is indicative of irrational thought.

But as you say, you really do not care. Good for you. :thumbs: Carry on!

Right, I really don't care because your apologetics of every and all police abuse and excess is excused as you are.

If the police chief can acknowledge this, THEN WHY CANT YOU, hmm?

At a news conference Friday at police headquarters, Commissioner Anthony W. Batts said that officers violated department policies while Gray was in their custody.

Do you want police in America to stop violating department policies, or are you going to continue to apologise for it??

Disputed. He probably did have an injury but for some reason the family has been coy about how long ago his last surgery was.
Had it been me or my kin, that's the first thing I would have brought up. "You killed my recovering son you bastards in blue".

No, debunked.


read down further, it had to do with lead paint, not a spinal injury,
 
Just since 2011, the Baltimore police department has payed out 5.7 million dollars in lost law suits due to their abuse of detainees, and EXCESSIVE use of force. How in the world do you apologists do so with a straight face????

Because its cheaper to pay then fight. Ask any large company or muni.

Oh, I see. The departments are innocent of all wrong doing, and are taking the cheap route out. I'm curious Crew, do you really believe that cops never violate their codes of conduct, never abuse their power, have no corruption amongst their ranks whatever???

Hyperbole on your part. But paying out IS cheaper than fighting every suit. You would be surprised how little people will settle for as well that way.
I also never said no cop ever did wrong. But seeing as we are in cop bash mode on this forum, I will be the one to call people out on that.

Can you tell me when a cop in the Baltimore department has done wrong, hmm?
