| Baltimore braces for more massive protests |
| 2015-05-03 |
| [Arab News] BALTIMORE, Maryland: Thousands of people were set to hit the Baltimore streets in fresh large-scale demonstrations on Saturday, a day after six police officers were charged over the death of an African-American man in their custody. As many as 10,000 people were set to turn out for a massive rally in the riot-scarred city, CBS Baltimore reported, in what could be the biggest show of people power yet in nearly a week of demonstrations that threaten to spread across the United States. The Maryland National Guard said on Twitter it had nearly 3,000 soldiers and airmen ready to help “keep the peace” in the city. Police made at least 15 arrests when some protesters defied a 10 p.m. curfew Friday, underlining the anger that persists on the street despite the shock announcement that the six officers — three of them black — would face a range of charges, including second-degree murder and manslaughter, over Freddie Gray’s April 19 death. The 25-year-old Gray’s death at the hands of police has reignited simmering resentment in the United States over law enforcement tactics, particularly in their dealings with the black community. |

| #8 Remember, a key goal in a revolution is to harden your own people: the people on the other side are no longer people but the "other", the "enemy", who deserve to die. I'm okay with that. I stopped considering the Left and their minority tools people, a long time ago. Time to pull some weeds. |

| #7 ^ They're just objecting that they're not their police, not the brutality. Weren't too concern about such when they took over other countries. See - Venezuela today. |

| #5 Non-lethal munitions [or #6] in the legs and arse group. Sure to send the scurrying. Three or four veteran police officers armed with Remington 870's and a couple boxes of ammo, a supervisor, a sniper & spotter in the distance....... all the bullshi* over in 15 minutes. |

| #4 Four dead at Kent State. No more college buildings burned. In the game of power, don't be mindless cannon fodder. The game the players are engaged in is how far they can push, to include taking over the system, without having to pay the historical price. When enough people believe it's not 'worth dying on that hill' for the system, the thugs win if you're not willing to pull the trigger. |

| #3 "Shoot them down" is strong. It might do nothing more than incite the rubes which is, of course, just what the hard-core leftists running this show behind the scenes want. Remember, a key goal in a revolution is to harden your own people: the people on the other side are no longer people but the "other", the "enemy", who deserve to die. Repeated violence helps to accomplish that. I'd still counsel restraint on the part of the police, except for arsonists (shoot them on sight) and looters (pursue and arrest). And by all means, go after the cop-killers. Of course, firm, resolute, enlightened leadership, the kind you won't find in Baltimore, would help. |
