I agree that there are incidents of police brutality, there has always been and always will be. It's the dark side of human nature.

To naturally presume that ALL cops are bad is just as idiotic as saying all blacks are criminals and all politicians are crooked. Just doesn't make sense.

The National Guard should have been called and the rioters should have been given fair warning that violators of the curfew will be shot on sight. Then use the knee-shot method unless in danger, then all bets are off!

Then inform the public that due to pressure from the riots, all stores in the affected areas are closing and moving out of state because of the damages. (OK, this would teach the rioters a lesson, but would also hurt a lot of people that had no part in the destruction.

I could never understand how people could go from a peaceful protest to a multi-million riot unless there were people pushing the buttons to get things started, and they are not locals from Baltimore or even Maryland!

Got to love how the big "0" (I meant O, but he's a zero as well) hasn't done squat to address this problem (riots, not police problem).

Maybe if they had another "beer-summit" with a case of Mad Dog 20/20 they could do SOMETHING constructive?

I am a legend in my own mind!
