Of course, the people who are really responsible for the current mayhem in Baltimore, the elected officials and State Prosecutor, are still on the job.
It makes no difference who the Police Commisioner is. The individule Cop on the street has lost all respect for the Polititians. They are not going to risk their lives corralling criminals, thugs, and punks when they know that those in authority will not stand behind them when Cops are forced into situations where extreme measures must be used.
The Polititians are the authors of this mayhem. They sent out a message that was taken by the street thugs to mean...."do what you want". And guess what. That is exactly what they are doing.
The State Prosecutor, in an attempt to pander to the mob, used a shotgun approach to indict 6 police officers on the most severe charges amaginable, knowing full well that most would never end in a conviction, setting the stage for another round of burning, looting, and thuggery.
That is, if there is anything left to burn or steal.
