After all, half the cops charged are black. But, there is something rotten in the police department. Either the police are respected by the civilian population for the great job they do, or they are an alienated occupying army. Something needs to be fixed here.Siarlys Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083839117838391267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-35115090047585766122015-05-08T14:05:00.621-07:002015-05-08T14:05:00.621-07:00Great!

Let us hope that Loretta finds that Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and her Black Commisioner of police have seriously mismanaged the police department. Understand that the Baltimore police department has a 50% staffing of Black police officers and that it may be hard to show white/black issues here. <br />Understand that Obama sent 1.8 Billion dollars via Stimulus package, to Baltimore to help out with eduction, the poor, blight, help for small business and teenager by battling gang influence. <br />But that did not stop the previous mayor, Sheila Dixon, the first black female mayor of Baltimore, who was convicted of stealing gift cards intended for the poor. Rawlings-Blake took over after her.<br />Hopefully, Loretta will find gross mismanagement, corruption and spending on things other than Baltimore. How does a city spend 1.8 Billion, without results?<br /><br />SquidSquidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-6245953349377732572015-05-07T14:47:08.291-07:002015-05-07T14:47:08.291-07:00Given that the mayor and police chief are black, ...Given that the mayor and police chief are black, the city council and police department are majority black, and the AG is black, this request for investigation all sounds suspiciously like a typical liberal circular firing squad or, alternatively, "Who's on first??"<br /><br />We know what happens when police officers, particularly white ones, kill a black dirtbag. In Ferguson, Obama equated Michael Brown with the son he did not have and sent not one, not two, but THREE White House representatives (one of Cabinet rank) to Brown's funeral. Holder, et al, followed later. <br /><br />In Baltimore, although three of the officers are black, AG Lynch and her entourage are already there meeting with the family of Freddy Gray. Look for the white cops to bear the brunt of this in the end. Riots, violence, and looting occurred in both Ferguson and Baltimore.<br />We know what happens when a black dirtbag kills a white police officer, as in NYC as mentioned by Gary. No WH officials at his funeral that I know of, but someone please correct me. Mealy-mouthed words, and brief ones at that, from Obama. No AG meeting with his family. No white riots or disturbances. Like it never happened. <br /><br />We also know what happens when black police officers kill a black dirtbag. About a week ago, two black Atlanta policemen (black mayor, majority black city, city itself, 11 of 16 city council, , and police department also majority black, as with Baltimore) shot and killed a handcuffed but armed black lady who was somehow shooting at them from the back seat of their patrol car. Again, no AG. No WH visitation. No rioting, Nothing. <br /><br />http://news.yahoo.com/atlanta-officers-shoot-black-woman-patrol-car-gunfight-032923197.html<br /><br />Somehow, doesn't seem right to me.<br />elwood p suggtinsnoreply@blogger.com
