Rioting going in Baltimore.(update).

These people are completely out of control. Smashing cop cars, throwing bricks, is anybody else watching this?

7 policemen have been injured so far.

The bloods and crypts and one other gang are supposedly going to work together to try to kill officers.

Update: a police officer shot a black man in baltimore, details are still coming out.

They actively targeted white bystanders as well. Swarms of them beating up random white women/men.

It's funny how these situations show who the real racists are.

It's just sad. Destroying their own community. They're looting heavily now.

Time to call McNulty in.

Another day in America.

If I had a son, it would look like Freddie Gray.

"I'm angry!!! Lets destroy our own neighborhood!!!"

Saw a video of the riots where rioters were throwing objects at an elderly white woman in a wheelchair. This isn't rioting anymore, this is unwarranted physical violence.

Baltimore Mayor told the Police to give rioters space so they can destroy and loot. She should be impeach for not protecting the citizen and it's business, who's going to pay for all damages if she's not ordering the cops to shut the riots down?

Got dem munchies bruh.

CVS is on fire now.

These idiots are just wrecking their own neighborhoods too.

Well, glad I don't live in Baltimore. Don't see the point in riots like this, shameful, as these rioters are rioting for clearly the wrong reasons.

No justice, no peace.

Good thing I live in the deep South, nothing like that happens here, too many crazy folks with guns here.

Idk if whites are being targeted, but it's true that only when a black person dies does a riot occur. No riots after Ruby Ridge, no riots after Waco. It's just another incident of black gang culture trying to burn baby burn and kill the pigs.And it's too bad that every chance a black political leader gets to show leadership, they egg the chaos on.

Way to perpetuate stereotypes, looters and rioters! Unfortunately this is all the norm.

A lot of the people rioting aren't even from Baltimore..

Damn, way to ruin what was a pretty neat protest yesterday.

Don't mess with the DMV!

Really? Dang, wonder why they chose Baltimore as a target then for their pointless raids. Poor Baltimore...

how do you know where people are from lol

The protests aren't pointless. Some opportunists that just wanna see everything burn use these kind of situations for looting and mischief.

You will have civil war soon.

Don't get excited. Not enough numbers for that.

It's pretty depressing that this ends up being the way people respond to what is obviously an actually pretty clear case of what at the very least has to be considered police negligence.

I don't.. but I know a lot of them are from DC.

And now, like in Ferguson, comes the night....

If only we gave everyone there a gun. That would solve this issue.

Those rioters sound like pretty tough dudes.

It's nice to live in Atlanta GA. I don't have to put up with this shit.

Way to troll a serious issue.

No troll, guns are the answer to everything. If that's not the answer then the other possible answer is more guns. Everybody would be so much safer that way.

Ever saw that movie call The Purge? Well let's turn that movie into the real thing.

He should be ashamed.

Actually, there are reports that on the morning a call to "purge" was going around in some schools/neighborhood etc. which was the precursor to this.

Someone should call Ethan Hawke.

That has nothing to do with whats going on.

I didn't say that guns had anything to do with what is currently going on, I'm saying that they are a potential (probably the only) solution to the current situation. Arm the cops and arm the rioters, and then everything will suddenly be at peace.

Supposedly there is rioting and looting inside a local mall in Baltimore.

Move it guys, we need footage.

Looters will be shot on sight so I doubt those Camera guys will get any footage.

Real life Cedric Daniels is speaking about the pou-lize. So listen up.

Come on. Don't be like that.

I don't know if you saw the movie, but it doesn't work out too well for Ethan Hawke

Also, pretty sure one of the main points of the movie was that The Purge just became a way for rich people to kill poor people

I have not seen it. I will procure it right now!!!

Poor Ethan!!!!!!!!!!

Having been following to know what situation brought this on, but I am pretty sure this shit is uncalled for. Fucking dumb pieces of shit destroying their own neighborhood. Really can't get much dumber...

"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity."

What's your point?
