It's always struck me as odd that humans rioting due to adversarial relationships with law enforcement fail to realize all they're doing is validating the need for diligent protection of officer safety.

Even if these loons had an argument, they just killed it.

I suppose that's why most inner cities are basically "free fire zones" for the cops. It's the "law enforcement" version of the Bush Doctrine.

Cute.

1. Mistreat people.
2. People riot.
3. Claim mistreatment justified by riot.

1A. Officers respond appropriately.
2. People riot due to entitlement.
3. Correctly claim mistreatment justified by riot.

Then the law breaking public shouldn't mistreat officers: see above, fixed for you.

Yes, completely invalid logic. In order for it to work, these are the premises

1.People riot
2. Mistreat people.
conclusion
3. Claim mistreatment justified by riot.

But it never kicks off with a riot does it? The riot is always a response.

Regarding the media reports that Baltimore gangs have made a truce with one another to make war on the police (for which there is no actual evidence), it appears that something quite different is occurring. What's beginning to come to light is the fact that the gangs are actually working together to protect the public and also the media from the more violent rioters. There are reports of gang members, wearing colors, escorting reporters through the riot zone and protecting people and their homes from harm.

Early yesterday a few reporters noted this but it never got repeated by the studio talking heads.

Mix:

Lack of adequate funding and proper education. Allowing the feeling of little solutions or voices being heard. Not a part of the society as a whole.
Lack of Jobs, or many options. No upward moment.
Over zealous enforcement on the community by a PD known for brutally. With little recourse.
Lack of answers by the city administration.
Then add,
Recent events across the country.
Outside forces.
News cameras and sound bites by talking heads.

All add up to a sense of frustration by a community, and now we surprised at this?

I'm not!
