You can thank the mayor, the police commissioner, the Baltimore state attorney, reverend AL, the justice department, for what is going on, because the cops can either due their 10 hour shift and just go home or they can get involved and possibly look at a 15-30 year prison sentence, the police there and probably in many cities feel they have no backing from the people in government who run the cities. Its sad for the citizens. The mayor and the baltimore state attorney are extremely incompetent by their actions in this matter and should resign and allow the people of Baltimore a chance to get their city back
There you have it. The cops feel like they don't have the support of the government (both local and federal), who will throw them under the bus in order to appease the angry mobs. And the result is what they get when cops aren't proactive and able to do their job. One can feel sorry for the law abiding black citizens who recognize and appreciate what law enforcement does for them. The rest, it's just desserts. You don't like the cops? You don't want them messing with you when you or others break the law? Well, have fun while your community (and I use that term loosely) implodes.
