A drop in the bucket compared to the size of Baltimore... also compared to the Halloween fires in Detroit and New Year's Eve vandalism in the outer suburbs of Paris.
I'm not justifying it, but nothing "ruled" Baltimore except the media.
I am a staunch supporter of LE officers--had them in my family and as friends. But these riots are going to continue as long as incidents like the snapped spine, et al, continue. I think some neighborhoods would benefit by being policed by more of their own.
