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

how can some of you honestly sit there and say that this isn't unwarranted police brutality?
I don't know of any who are saying that. What I see people saying is "what does looting a 7-11 have to do with that?"

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

I've never needed to run away from the police. I'm a grown arse man and im accountable for my actions. You run, you suffer the consequences. Now I'm a tax payer paying for all this bullshite. The people rioting aren't paying taxes, they are taking them.

it's a colloquialism. people in their early to mid 20s are often referred to as "kids" in daily conversation.
although your sensitivity to this reveals a fairly clear bias on this issue.

You won't find a lot of people here sympathetic to the needless death of a black.
Hence #blacklivesmatter
One unjusticely murdered man >>> property
But this shite going on in Baltimore is horrendous sad depressing and destructive

Police brutality is a myth outside of a few isolated incidents.

running from the cops isn't a crime unless you're evading an arrest. and the cops that arrested this kid still can't tell us why he was arrested to begin with.
This is my main issue with it. It's been how many days now and we still know very little. I'm reserving my opinion of the matter until that time. However, what has rioting ever solved or improved? Please someone give my one instance. Not protesting, very few people would disagree that protesting can be beneficial, but rioting. And for the love of god, you're burning down your own damn neighborhood! At least go to the good side of town and frick their stuff up. shite, Tyrone, get it together!

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.

I think it's wrong and should be properly investigated. Just like the 10 other Baltimore homicides this past week.
