April 29, 201511 yr Awesome. And this. http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/28925830/pg-county-officer-helps-baltimore-boy-broken-bike
April 29, 201511 yr Some pics on Facebook showing members of the community and police holding hands and praying together.
April 29, 201511 yr All this stuff NOW, where were they before? I hear ya Ref, but probably like a lot of people, they were afraid of getting mugged or killed by the idiots robbing and vandalizing.
April 29, 201511 yr Author All this stuff NOW, where were they before? On one hand, not fair, too dangerous. On the other hand, we need better leadership in this country and I agree it should be preemptive.
April 29, 201511 yr All this stuff NOW, where were they before? Thanks for contributing such a positive, glass half empty spin.
April 29, 201511 yr All this stuff NOW, where were they before? I imagine they were trying to follow the police instructions to stay out of the way during the worst part. They have my utmost respect and admiration and I'm sure the appreciation of the authorities and other concerned citizens.
April 29, 201511 yr It may sound odd, but I am starting to think the riots and looting that took place Monday were a blessing in disguise for this country. Maybe it took those events to finally wake this country up and the change and belief of better ways to get your message across has risen from the ashes (pun intended) from Baltimore. These pictures and these stories are finally starting to drown out the negative stuff about what is going on in Baltimore. I'm loving what we are getting to see now.
April 29, 201511 yr Thanks for contributing such a positive, glass half empty spin. My glass is always half empty.
April 29, 201511 yr That's the problem with the media. These reporters make more money if they report what is controversial and what sells. Thanks for sharing Guru.
April 29, 201511 yr That's the problem with the media. These reporters make more money if they report what is controversial and what sells. They only sell what people will buy. To find out why the media behaves the way it does, we have to take a long, hard look at ourselves. One of those great little facts of history is that while the Weathermen and a couple hundred of their supporters were carrying out the "Days of Rage" in downtown Chicago in 1969, the mainstream elements of SDS in addition to the Black Panthers and other groups held a completely peaceful rally in opposition to the Vietnam War in a working class area of Chicago's west side that was attended by many thousands. Guess which event got all the press coverage...
