Riot-Plagued Baltimore Is a Catastrophe Entirely of the Democratic Party s Own Making National Review Online

"Democrats rule urban cesspools and have for decades.

No Republican, and certainly no conservative, has left so much as a thumbprint on the public institutions of Baltimore in a generation. Baltimore’s police department is, like Detroit’s economy and Atlanta’s schools, the product of the progressive wing of the Democratic party enabled in no small part by black identity politics. This is entirely a left-wing project, and a Democratic-party project.”


The Real Freddie Gray

"Freddie Gray had an extensive criminal record, and this was well known to police officers in the community. He was, in short, known to engage in unlawful criminal activity with a frequency that would in any other context be considered evidence of a notable work ethic. He had at least 18 arrests in the ~8 years between 2007 and his death in 2015 -- and it is worth keeping in mind that the only reason his arrest record here begins in only in 2007 is that prior arrests would be sealed as juvenile records.

It is also notable that although Gray’s early arrests were apparently confined to drug offenses, in later years he began to be charged with acts of violence, including several charges on differing dates of second-degree assault, as well as burglary.

In addition, the neighborhood where the arrest occurred is known more generally for being a high-crime area, and so the police would be expected to be particularly attuned for indications of criminal conduct.

In this context the police observe well-known criminal Gray acting in a manner that they perceive as noteworthy. The police begin to approach Gray, a form of police conduct that requires no particular legal justification at least until an actual interaction has begun. Observing the police approach, Gray substantially increases the suspiciousness of his conduct by fleeing the officers."

No Calling the Baltimore Rioters Thugs Does Not Make You a Racist National Review Online​

Political philosophies don't enter into managing a local level government. There's nothing "right" or "left" about whether the trash gets picked up on Tuesday versus Wednesday.

It's stupefying that you partisan hacknoids just keep running the same play thinking it will work this time.

Urban issues are sociocultural -- not political. You clowns continually running this noise generator in this juvenile political football game scoreboard are just prolonging the problems and feeding division.

Bullshit. Democrats completely control Baltimore and have done so for 50 years. The problems in Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago and other urban cesspools are 100% at the feet of Democrat political "leadership" in those cities.

How is it y'all of the parrot mindset figure you can just mouth the same words over and over and that makes it a theory?
I'm not deaf; I didn't ask for the same lame parroted talking point to be restated over and over and over.

What I'm asking, what none of you parrots can answer, is HOW that works. Explain the differences in style between a Republican mayor and a Democrat mayor ordering the snowplows out to the streets.

I'm asking, quit lip-synching the lyrics over and over and actually prove this theory.. And you can't do it. Guess what that means.
All you have here is a Post Hoc (or Affirming the Consequent) fallacy. That and four bucks will buy you an overpriced Starbucks coffee.

Democrats are the 100% of the political power structure in Baltimore. All policy decisions affecting the citizens of Baltimore are the responsibility of the Democrat power structure. Period. That means schools, police, infrastructure, economic development and all the rest.

And news flash.....Baltimore is a shit hole. Ditto many other major U.S. cities the Democrats have controlled for decades. The polices don't fucking work. Own it.

And voil

Baltimore = shit hole. It has been 100% Democrat controlled since 1966. Ditto other shit holes like Detroit or Chicago.

The facts are the facts.


Compare those cities with any measure (crime stats, poverty rate, high school drop out rates) versus a city with predominate GOP power structure like Salt Lake City.

Sorry...but Game. Set. Match.


Dem policies have destroyed many cities. That cannot be denied.

Face it. You can't answer the question. That's because it has no answer, and that's because the premise is bullshit in the first place. It always has been.

Just admit you have no point. It's obviously deluding no one.

 

[WelfareQueen]

My point is that decades of 100% Democrat control in cities like Baltimore, Detroit, and Chicago have resulted in places that are shit holes (i.e. terrible schools, high crime, high poverty, crumbling infrastructure). The Democrat policies in those cities have been a complete failure. It cannot be argued.

And since you cannot refute it, I would say case closed....but folks can certainly decide for themselves.

There ain't nothing to "refute". You have presented nothing but an Affirming the Consequent fallacy. Then you proceeded to repeat the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over. That isn't a point.

Jesus Christ on a Segway you're fucking dense.

 

[Oldstyle]

How do you blame right wing politics on conditions in a city that has been exclusively run by left wing Democrats for the better part of sixty years? Seriously...how do you even ATTEMPT that?

I'm not blaming this on politics and neither should you! I'm blaming this on hyper aggressive police tactics.

Oh if it were as simple as partisan would have us believe. But every problem in America cannot fall exclusively on the altar of politics.

You have a rather strange take on how things work, Nosmo! The Police do not set policy...nor do they make the laws. Policies ARE what politicians do. To say that failures of bad policy is anyone's fault other than the people who CREATED those bad policies is a stretch.

The police definitely set policy for standard operating procedures within the department. If they don't, then how can the police be policed?

I think you're looking for the typical scapegoat when you blame police behavior on a political agenda. Not every problem in this nation is attributable to politics. Some problems are systemic within institutions regardless of political influence.

Is it just easier to think at BAD=LIBERAL in your world? Could there be problems that were created without the stain of partisanship?

Police departments do have "standard operating procedures", Nosmo but that hardly means that THEY determine policy! When the Baltimore Police didn't resist looting during the first night of the riots it wasn't because that was their standard operating procedure...they didn't resist looting because they had a stand down order that was given to them by the Mayor of Baltimore. Politicians make policy and the laws. Police forces simply attempt to implement those policies and enforce those laws.

As for what created the problems in Baltimore? Listen...when one political party has overwhelmingly controlled a city for over six DECADES...it's hard to understand how you can blame what's wrong with that city on anyone else BUT that political party! I'm sorry but the Democrats OWN the problems in Baltimore because the Democrats have OWNED that city for nearly three generations!

Funny then that nobody can answer the question in the post before yours.

Do you REALLY want to know the answer to that, Pogo? Or are you just posturing?

Let's start with something that ALL cities have to deal with...schools! Democrats have hitched their political wagon to the teacher's unions who pour millions into Democratic campaign chests. What do those teacher's unions get in return? They get Democratic politicians who refuse to fund Charter schools or allow vouchers for private schools...making public schools the only game in town. Take a city like Baltimore. It spends the fourth highest amount per student in the country among cities with 40,000 or more students and yet its schools have gotten progressively worse over the past thirty years. That's a problem that liberal policies have created in a city that's been totally controlled by Democrats for sixty years.

Baltimore is a monument to decades of Democrat policy failure. The facts speak for themselves. It cannot be argued. If the GOP 100% politically controlled a city such as Baltimore for the last 50 years people like Pogo would be calling it a failure of political leadership.

But when it's his team excuses and....bullshit.

Pogo will not admit it because he is a hack.

Direct policies of Democrats that have controlled Baltimore for decades have led to it's ruin. If not the political power structure than who....fucking aliens???

I see that picture and I think if there were National Guard with arresting powers, those thugs could be spending a year in jail and paying the city back for the cost of the car they mutilated. Once they get out, they would be on parole and forced to work for the city where a quarter of their salary goes to reimburse the cost of the police car.

Maybe then, the thugs would think twice about their involvement in the destruction of a city and looting. Hopefully, the would just begin to think.

Many of the looters that were arrested have been released already.....because the city didn't process their paperwork on time.

It's stupefying that you partisan hacknoids just keep running the same play thinking it will work this time.

Urban issues are sociocultural -- not political. You clowns continually running this noise generator in this juvenile political football game scoreboard are just prolonging the problems and feeding division.

the facts prove you wrong. Baltimore (and Detroit, Cleveland, New Orleans, Philly, Newark) have been run by democrats, liberals, minorities, and unions for years. The mess those cities are in is the direct result of failed liberal policies, corrupt unions, and democrap philosophies.

Sorry dude, but that facts are what they are.

He had at least 18 arrests in the ~8 years between 2007 and his death in 2015 -- and it is worth keeping in mind that the only reason his arrest record here begins in only in 2007 is that prior arrests would be sealed as juvenile records.

It is also notable that although Gray’s early arrests were apparently confined to drug offenses, in later years he began to be charged with acts of violence, including several charges on differing dates of second-degree assault, as well as burglary.

In addition, the neighborhood where the arrest occurred is known more generally for being a high-crime area, and so the police would be expected to be particularly attuned for indications of criminal conduct.

In this context the police observe well-known criminal Gray acting in a manner that they perceive as noteworthy. The police begin to approach Gray, a form of police conduct that requires no particular legal justification at least until an actual interaction has begun. Observing the police approach, Gray substantially increases the suspiciousness of his conduct by fleeing the officers."

The economy on Baltimore is a result of GOP policies you fucking idiot.

The mess in Baltimore is top to bottom a Democrat invention they're trying to pawn off on the police.

Riot-Plagued Baltimore Is a Catastrophe Entirely of the Democratic Party s Own Making National Review Online

"Democrats rule urban cesspools and have for decades.

No Republican, and certainly no conservative, has left so much as a thumbprint on the public institutions of Baltimore in a generation. Baltimore’s police department is, like Detroit’s economy and Atlanta’s schools, the product of the progressive wing of the Democratic party enabled in no small part by black identity politics. This is entirely a left-wing project, and a Democratic-party project.”

Mr Gray didn't have one violent crime on his arrest record, and for you to insinuate he did is pure bullshit. Apparently facts don't matter to you, and thinking you can make those insinuations at will is libelous. Even if Mr Gray did have violence related charges it still doesn't give the cops the right to become violent themselves. No cop should impose punishment on anyone, that's the job of a judge, not the job of dirty, corrupt cops. It's insane that those on the right will do anything possible to justify Mr Gray's death, it shows how utterly warped the right wing brain is.
