26 Shootings, 9 Fatal, Over Memorial Day Weekend In Baltimore
- Thread starter pepsicock
- Start date
Where's the moral outrage from the leftist liberal community?
Are the silent because the state checks came out this week and they are partied out?
I'd just quit policing those areas....cops just harass those youths anyway
It looks like they are doing just that.
Violent crime surges as police arrests drop in Baltimore post-riots

Silence.
If a thug in Baltimore was shot by a police officer, justified or not, you guys would be losing your minds. Then when the LEO was vindicated, you would ignore it and/or claim it's still a big issue because derp
He said hypocritical. Not hypothetical, like your entire made up post.
What part of "silence" do you not understand?
Also, the same hypothetical i gave has actually happened numerous times already.
First of all, the "you guys" nonsense on this site is ridiculous, but second, I'm not sure you understand what hypocrisy is. Don't feel bad, it seems like most on here don't.
So to discuss the alleged "hypocrisy":
People complain that officers don't get medical attention for a detainee, and he dies. They complaint, they riot, etc.
Some people are murdered in B-More. The same people, allegedly, aren't complaining, rioting, etc.
I fail to see hypocrisy.
The fact that you don't see the difference between these two things is the problem (according to your above-response, not the facts of either situation):
1. Law Enforcement Officer, employed by the government, shoots and kills a person.
2. A private person shoots and kills a person.
Once you figure out the difference between those two, feel free to get back on track here.
The police have no backing from the hierarchy who runs the city, the police will not arrest anyone or lift a finger to stop it for fear of their jobs.
So, are you going on the "record" here that there have been no arrests in Baltimore?
On the record, who are you Greta Van Susteren?
Arrests are down 50% and the Mayor and Police Commissioner are threatening the police for not adequately responding to 911 calls.
Looks like the residents of Baltimore are getting what they asked for.

+1 Every time the police tried to arrest somebody and mob would gather with there cell phones . The cops just said screw this and I don't blame them
I'm shocked that Al Sharpton hasn't made a special trip to Baltimore to see what can be done. Oh wait, I guess it's not profitable for him to shake down a bunch of thugs living on government checks.
Maybe he's too busy helping his daughter sue the city of New York for $5 million dollars because she sprained her ankle walking down the sidewalk in high heels. It must be tough for a street ho these days.

56 shot and 9 dead in Chicago over the long holiday weekend. It's not just happening in Baltimore.
They?
If the police were doing the job properly, they would welcome there (sic) cell phone videos. Multiple videos circulating showing that if you commit a crime you get arrested in an appropriate manner; what a great advertisement for personal accountability and professionalism!
Seems only if you had a pattern and practice of arbitrary enforcement and excessive force (that you intend to continue) would accurate evidence make you say screw this. Do you have another explanation from deep in the heart of Dixie? Why do you not blame LEOs for shirking their duties and wanting their actions to avoid the light of day?
So what you're saying is "black lives matter" only applies when a white cop kills a black man? Bc if black lives truly mattered to the protestors and liberal band wagon jumpers, they'd be all over the inner cities protesting and trying to stop these senseless killings. But they aren't. I wonder why?
Republican controlled congress won't allow it. Culling the herd, conservatives call it.
You got it backwards. It's the fact that you see a difference that is the hypocritical. I thought the "black lifes matter" mantra was without qualification.
Sure, if you twist it that far. There is CLEARLY a difference, on a non-partisan basis, for being upset over a GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL'S actions, while not being equally upset over a private person's actions.
For example: A Public School principal suspends a student for wearing "I love Jesus" t-shirt...........vs. a Private School priest suspending a student for wearing "All religion is foolish, Jesus wasn't real."
Obviously one could be upset about both, just as your "black lifes [sic] matter" example.........but it isn't hypocritical if the outrage is on completely different levels.
Or, maybe even simpler, how about this: How can a person stop a private person from killing another person? Realistically, they can't. How can they stop a government official? Protest, march, publicly condemn them, etc.
No, and what a foolish, ignorant characterization. See my above post. Go ahead and keep trying to pigeon-hole this to fit your own outrage.
"A" private person can stop "B" private person from killing someone, if "A" is carrying, they shoot "B" first.
Either a life matters or it doesn't - period.
I'll hit these in order. Yes, I agree. It isn't very relevant to the thread, nor my post, but I do agree.
This doesn't make sense. It isn't the life that was taken, it was the taker of the life. Do you really think there would have been protests if it had been while the person was kidnapped, as opposed to in GOVERNMENT custody? Of course not.
....Oh wait, that was supposed to be the earlier point, but some of you are stuck in the forest and can't see the trees.
Use a hypothetical to make it more clear:
IF a Police Chief is simply out shooting people dead, while in uniform, while on the job, that would clearly be a bigger deal than a private person doing the same...right?
It seems they believe he was "kidnapped" as "he did nothin' wrong" - they just handcuffed him and threw him in the back of a van (like a kidnapping).
I see the trees, they are killing each other daily - the only time something is protested is when the forest ranger steps in and does something, then and only then is it "black pines matter". Which it shouldn't be - a life is a life is a life. If a baby is still born is it's life less important than one that is killed in a drive by?

The violence and poverty in the ghetto is every bit as institutionalized as the rogue cop murderers.
Obviously you do not see the trees....you are still arguing the facts of the original incident, which have little/nothing to do with this thread, nor hypocrisy.
Your point seems to be: People should be upset about people dying. Great, go with that, people do.
That does not create a hypocrisy in people who actively complain about a GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL being involved.
It is certainly reasonable, and understandable, for a person from Iowa (say, on an Iowa message board) to care far more about a LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER doing something "bad", than some private, unknown individual doing a similar "bad" thing.
