From that site:

“…On whether the community wanted police to back off after the death of Freddie Gray.  
No. That represented our progressives, our activists, our liberal journalists, our politicians, but it did not represent the overall community. Because we know for a fact that around the time Freddie Gray was killed, we start to see homicides increase. We had five homicides in that neighborhood while we were protesting…”

So, the Police are chastised, for doing something?
Then they are Chastised, for Not doing something?

Yet, in those areas, (Like N. Mpls  Mn), when their is a ‘Drive By’ Shooting.
No one saw ANY thing, NO ONE. !!!!!!!

So  exactly how, are the Police, to arrest someone,
    when NO ONE  SAW  ANYTHING.

Until, Someone, stands up and says it was a red car, like, (mod/make), and it had these numbers in it’s plate.
NOTHING, will happen, except MORE   Murders.

Yet, Click your heals together three times,
Sprinkle a bit of, ‘Fairy Dust’,
And stand in the street and CRY,
that will make it,  get better !

I’ll state my opinion in a different way.  

Police Officers, do make  mistakes,
they are human just like the rest of us.
    Yet, they make  Less Mistakes,
     than a  Doctor diagnosing someone.

That said.

A Police person.  
can do their job, better, more efficiently, easier,
if they have help, from, witnesses, evidence, and forensics.

When their is only witnesses, to rely on
and No witness say they ’saw’ anything,
or know anything, or heard anything.
It would be darn hard to find out, ‘who’, did that thing.

Yet the same group of people,
that are standing in the street  CRYING,
about how  Police are Bad.
Are the  SAME, group of people,
that, REFUSE, to help them in ANY way, shape or form.
