how can some of you honestly sit there and say that this isn't unwarranted police brutality?

Doesn't matter what it was about, it will end up being about race.

You run from the cops then you deserve whatever happens to you.

if cops break my neck, pls no fundraisers for my family. I want the OT to help itself to candy and beer at the nearest gas station before burning it down.

It is police brutality. I even dont mind peaceful protest. The thing that gets me though is the fact that people's private property is being destroyed and they have no connection with the police. Why burn down your own city where you sleep at night? If anything burn cop cars not businesses owned by people not connected

Absolutely but, does it justify burning down a community? Aren't there better ways to deal with this?

The Oriole' owner's son gets it

"Brett, speaking only for myself, I agree with your point that the principle of peaceful, non-violent protest and the observance of the rule of law is of utmost importance in any society. MLK, Gandhi, Mandela and all great opposition leaders throughout history have always preached this precept. Further, it is critical that in any democracy, investigation must be completed and due process must be honored before any government or police members are judged responsible.

That said, my greater source of personal concern, outrage and sympathy beyond this particular case is focused neither upon one night’s property damage nor upon the acts, but is focused rather upon the past four-decade period during which an American political elite have shipped middle class and working class jobs away from Baltimore and cities and towns around the U.S. to third-world dictatorships like China and others, plunged tens of millions of good, hard-working Americans into economic devastation, and then followed that action around the nation by diminishing every American’s civil rights protections in order to control an unfairly impoverished population living under an ever-declining standard of living and suffering at the butt end of an ever-more militarized and aggressive surveillance state.

The innocent working families of all backgrounds whose lives and dreams have been cut short by excessive violence, surveillance, and other abuses of the Bill of Rights by government pay the true price, and ultimate price, and one that far exceeds the importances of any kids’ game played tonight, or ever, at Camden Yards. We need to keep in mind people are suffering and dying around the U.S., and while we are thankful no one was injured at Camden Yards, there is a far bigger picture for poor Americans in Baltimore and everywhere who don’t have jobs and are losing economic civil and legal rights, and this makes inconvenience at a ballgame irrelevant in light of the needless suffering government is inflicting upon ordinary Americans."

You have to consider your audience on this board. Most of these posters think global warming is a myth since they have seen snow. They ate today so world hunger is a myth also. Poor people on welfare are the reason they aren't rich.
