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.

Freddy Gray had spinal surgery the week before the arrest due to a car accident he had earlier.

One week after ANY torso surgery is not long enough for things to heal back together and hold when you're out on the streets and not slowly, carefully walking in your house. I don't think anybody thinks the cops who arrested him are all innocent of something awful done to him. But in hearing from Baltimore officials speaking in the news that the police force there is a majority of minority officers, I don't think a racial imbalance in the force is the issue. |

Where oh where did you get that information? Please post a link. It seems this rumor has been debunked by the Baltimore Sun. |

What if free-speech protesters were to choose a city to demonstrate. And they chose The Villages. And they posted it on social media. 500 came to demonstrate. Would the politicians in Florida let Brownwood square burn. Someday, one of these guys are going to say "hey why are we burning down our own house"

Mother of the year: 6 children by different fathers - none in the home. When did we start celebrating motherhood like that? Gee, regular everyday mothers are married, Dad is home, they work and raise children without government help. They are the "mothers of the year". Some people are beginning to get so conditioned to this nonsense of entitlement that they think the kind of behavior shown by this mom is incredibly notable.
How far have we fallen.

She can't go back and re-do the births of her children to have them all of the same father. But she can and did resolve to change what she can change NOW. She's trying to keep her son from being another Freddie Gray and to keep him alive and out of the gangs. |

Get in trouble, you stay in jail
If you run from a cop, you may be harmed. You burn your butt...you sit on the blister. Some of the things heard growing up a few decades ago.

People who are calling this a beating and child abuse are trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. She wasn't even hitting hard enough to hurt him, a la Adrian Petersen style with a switch. That kid has a chance at succeeding under her care.

And because of all the praise for her tough love caught on tape, the boy was able to see from friends and strangers commenting that HIS mom cares and others wish they had a mom or dad who cares. This could well be a turning point for him. |
