#1 No harm in being a good guy and going with affirmative action, is there?

Inquiring minds might ask, isn't it all buried here somewhere ?

#3 You get more of what behavior you reward.

#4 ..yes, you get more of that which you reward and less of what you punish. Hasn't changed in 4000 years (no matter how hip, modern, or urban you may be can overcome that).

#5 At least the police aren't shooting down black men. That's the important thing, right?

#6 Comeon - take it easy on the poor Mayor! It isn't as if someone could have predicted what would happen when you do away with the Rule of Law and stop arresting criminals!

(/SARC - of course anyone with two brain cells to rub together could have seen this...)

#7 If the charges against Baltimore officers involved in the Freddie Gray incident were dropped this afternoon, Baltimore policing would return to normal [whatever defines normal] tomorrow.

This isn't about the concern for the safety of police officers, or worries about litigation. This is about their brothers, tools for survival, and the ability to do their job.

Let the anarchy continue, the problem will eventually self-resolve.

#8 Is may be just my personal impression, but, it seems to me that: whenever affirmative action invoked on behalf of a group---the main winners are the worst members of that group.

#9 Besoeker, if the charges against the officers were dropped, riots would break out within hours. The police, hamstrung by the mayor, would let city burn. After all, the rioters and looters are just seeking justice, right?

If I were a Baltimore police officer, I would seriously consider resigning.

#10 Fact is most blacks pay little attention to black-on-black crime and then fill the streets when a criminal is called by a cop. They've created the environment and need to rethink a few things about their relation to law enforcement.

#11 Wall the city off, toss in all the hand guns and assault rifles the thugs can use and let nature take its course.

Somebody call Snake Plissken. My script for "Escape from Baltimore" is almost done.

Toss in Obama, Eric Holder, Lynch, and the Racist Twins Jackson and Sharpton for good measure - unarmed.
