Rich i know your a cop and former soldier i give deepest respects to you for doing what you do... why cant crime be cured why can't criminals be answered for... Why can't people just get along with eachother is what i want to know.........
Its a little late in the game for such questions. Most people can, the ones who cant are most often criminals. Who now fear neither the system or the Police.
From the first day in the Baltimore riots, when I saw the stores being hit and who was hitting them, I said this was an organized riot by street gangs in order to break into pharmacies and steal their highly valuable drug product. Freddie Grey, or whatever his name was, had nothing to do with it. Other then to be used as a tool by the same gangs who sold him junk for his entire life.
So now we have gangs organizing riots to steal valuable stuff. We've had the same thing happen here on our main shopping drag. Beating up shoppers and stealing THEIR stuff as well. And the funny thing about it is they are using cell phones paid for by the tax payers to organize it all. Ha, Ha, Ha, ha.
Its like scenes from The Walking Dead out there some nights. I'd forget about finding a "cure" and instead worry about yourself and your family. A carry permit and good dog is a good place to start. Its only going to get worse.
