Well Loretta Was Worth the Wait.

On August 9th 2014 (9/8/14) Micheal Brown attacked a police officer in the city of Ferguson, Missouri during the commission of a robbery. This prompted the police officer to shoot and kill Brown. Within hours all the forensic evidence from the scene indicated that this had been nothing except an entirely lawful and justified shooting.

However US President Barack Obama spied an opportunity to create a cause he could champion in order to sweep his Democrat Party to victory in that November's mid-term election. So US Attorney General Eric Holder abused his position to open federal investigations into both the shooting itself and the wider policing of Ferguson. In short he accused the entire city of racism.

Following the November mid-terms the case was finally presented to a Grand Jury for consideration. With absolutely no evidence that the police officer had acted in any way other then lawfully and properly the case was dismissed. Micheal Brown's family reacted to this news by inciting the city of Ferguson to riot both through the use of the phrase; "Let's not just make noise, let's make a difference" in the statement issued to the press and more explicitly with the call to "Burn this b*tch down!" made to the assembled crowd. A riot duly occurred. However no action was taken.

On March 4th of this year (4/3/15) after many months of delays Holder's report into Ferguson was finally released. It found that there was no evidence that the police officer who shot Brown had acted improperly nor any evidence of institutionalised racism within Ferguson. In short it simply showed that Holder had abused his position to violate the fourth and fifth amendments to the US Constitution. However no action was taken.

A week after the Holder report on March 11th (11/3/15) a gunman opened fire on police officers guarding Ferguson police HQ from the protests that had been taking place since August 2014. Micheal Brown's mother responded to this by saying; "F*CK THEM 2 COPS ION GOT NO SYMPATHY FOR THEM OR THEIR FAMILIES. Ant no FUN when the Rabbit got the GUN. #GoodMorning." However no action was taken and the Brown family felt secure enough in their position to sue the city of Ferguson over the lawful death of their son who was committing a robbery at the time.

While this was taken place in New York City a persistent offender by the name of Eric Garner was once again observed by the police selling illegal cigarettes in violation of both the law and the bail conditions imposed on him following his arrest for the same offence just a week earlier. Whilst violently resisting arrest Garner suffered a heart attack and died on July 17th (17/7/14). However the Democrats were really feinding for control of Congress so NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio, District Attorney Loretta Lynch and general waste of skin Al Sharpton colluded to falsify a Medical Examiners report claiming that Garner had been suffocated by the police.

Again the case was put before a Grand Jury and once again no evidence of police wrongdoing was found and the case was dismissed. Since then NYC has been in a lengthy legal fight to keep the Garner files - including the Medical Examiners report - secret from the public.

On December 13th (13/12/14) Al Sharpton addressed twin rallies in NYC and Washington D.C in which he smirked about the movement "embracing different methods" while the crowd chanted "What Do We Want? Dead Cops! When Do We Want It? Now!" On December 20th (20/12/14) two police officers in NYC were shot and killed in a pre-planned ambush. However no action was taken.

On April 12th (12/4/15) in Baltimore, Maryland a known drug dealer by the name of Freddie Gray was recognised by the police from his 22 previous arrests including 19 for drug possession/dealing and stopped for the purposes of a search. Being in possession of at least an offensive weapon (a flick knife) at the time Gray chose to flee and during the course of the chase fell and broke his neck. During his detention something - a sneeze would do it - caused Gray's fractured vertebrae to shift severing 80% of his spinal cord. Despite being immediately rushed to hospital and placed on life support he died eight days later on April 19th (19/4/15).

Obviously in Obama's America suggesting that a black man is responsible for his own actions is considered racist so nobody came forward to say this. Instead we got the usual round of conspiracy theories and wild accusations of racism in a city where the Mayor is black, the police Chief is black and both the city council and the police force are majority black.

Due to the Iran talks over the weekend the US decided to raise the tension even further on Saturday (25/4/15) by staging a mini-riot outside Baltimore's Camden Yards stadium. This was carried out in much the same way that the Tottenham riot that started the UK's August 2011 riots was carried out. Essentially a gang that funds itself through drug dealing was told to repay the protection it enjoys at City, State and Federal level by putting on a bit of a show. Baltimore's Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake decided to help things along by ordering the police not to intervene in order to - and I quote - "give those who wished to destroy space to do that as well."

As with the August 2011 riots the mini-riot at Camden Yards only added momentum and the violence continued at this low level on Sunday (26/4/15). My highlight was when a Russia Today who've really been enjoying all this due to the Ukraine sanctions crew were robbed by a group of  'peaceful protesters.' They immediately ran to the police for help.

On Monday (27/4/15) Freddie Gray's funeral was held in Baltimore during the middle of the day. During the Northern Irish Troubles this would have been referred to as a "colour funeral" because it's the type of event that protest groups use to display their colours and rally people behind their cause. It would also have been banned because they always lead to trouble especially when there's been trouble over the previous two days. In fact with all those accused entitled to have an independent autopsy carried out in their defence it is hard to explain why Gray's body had been released for burial this early in the investigation.

Despite the numerous clear and credible warnings that the funeral would lead to serious and widespread violence Mayor Rawlings-Blake took no action whatsoever and deployed the police at their normal patrol levels. So when the rioting inevitably broke out the police were overwhelmed and unable to control riots that saw 15 buildings and 114 vehicles set on fire alongside widespread looting and 15 police officers injured.

Eventually the Governor of Maryland - Larry Hogan - stepped in to relieve Rawlings-Blake of command by declaring a state of emergency, sending in the National Guard an implementing a week long 10pm to 5am curfew although dusk 'till dawn would be more effective.

Baltimore can go even further then that because they have the specific criminal offences of being a member of criminal gang (S9-804) or being the leader of a criminal gang (S9-805). This would allow them to immediately arrest any known or suspect gang members and I suggest they do just that.

The irony of course is that Rawlings-Blake sits on the Holder appointed panel intended to help Ferguson heal from its waves of rioting.
