发帖数: 29846 | 1 Confirmed: Baltimore’s Incompetent Hack Mayor Ordered Police to Stand Down
in Face of Violent Thuggery
We would suggest this is criminal behavior but Democrats aren’t held
accountable for anything. Besides, Republican policies in Baltimore have
brought us to this stage, or something.
Despite a firm denial by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, a
senior law enforcement source charges that she gave an order for police to
stand down as riots broke out Monday night, raising more questions about
whether some of the violence and looting could have been prevented.
The source, who is involved in the enforcement efforts, confirmed to Fox
News there was a direct order from the mayor to her police chief Monday
night, effectively tying the hands of officers as they were pelted with
rocks and bottles.
Asked directly if the mayor was the one who gave that order, the source
said: “You are God damn right it was.”
The claim follows criticism of the mayor for, over the weekend, saying
they were giving space to those who “wished to destroy.”
By Tuesday night, despite the chaos a day earlier, Baltimore police
along with the National Guard and other law enforcement contingents seemed
to be restoring order in the city, which was under a curfew overnight.
Rawlings-Blake has defended her handling of the unrest, which grew out
of protests over the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody.
The mayor, in an interview with Fox News’ Bill Hemmer on Tuesday,
denied any order was issued to hold back on Monday.
“You have to understand, it is not holding back. It is responding
appropriately,” she said, saying there was no stand-down directive.
It was all quite obvious as the police retreated from the stone-throwing
marauders Monday afternoon what was going on. |
