Re: Baltimore Police: Gangs Enter Partnership to ‘Take-Out’ Officers
And I never said rioting was. All I have said is I understand why they rioted.
I am not saying CVS did anything. But that CVS area (that block) is where BCPD routinely arrest people for loitering (bull**** charge) and harass people in public areas as that's also a metro stop. Now those Officers in which you say are not the same who perpetrated crimes at the time.. it's absolutely true in that specific moment. But BCPD is the "enemy" to those who rioted. If you are part of the problem you aren't innocent in their view. A cop is a cop is a cop.
Owners of the elderly home? You mean the Southern Baptist Church which got that property through kick back from the current Mayor. But there is also no evidence saying it's from the riots.. Could have been burned down for insurance purposes which is why the ATF is involved because that fire happened way far away from West Baltimore.
You're probably right that Baltimore has problems that need to be dealt with. Maybe I have been overly dismissive without seeing that side of it. That said, rioting is not the answer.
The CVS owners and employees didn't do anything to deserve having their store burned down. The officers that were assaulted were not the same as those who perpetrated the crimes against those young men. The lady who had a trash can thrown at her didn't do anything to deserve it. The owners of the elderly home that was burned down, and the old people living there, never did anything to anyone.
So at the end of the day, senseless chaos and violence are not the answer. There are more constructive ways to be heard
