Entire Baltimore Neighborhood Under Lockdown: "Police Declared Martial Law"

a reply to: SlapMonkey

yes, the person who did this IS a thug and an animal, BUT, I said people here will call them ALL thugs and animals.

How is calling someone an "animal" who murders people being racist? And how is citing FBI statistics--basically the gold standard in America for crime statistics--being racist?

Because people always fall back on that as a way to justify blaming ALL black people for crap like this, while ignoring statistics that put white people in a bad light. I pretty much think we are ALL animals.

The Mods can point me, delete my posts, they can even ban me, but I find it hilarious getting called a troll, on here of all places, for calling out ATS for how I see it.

I'd get a grip on the "neighborhood", and become a "community leader", (aka Obama),...and let them know, that "shooting" cops, "uniformed" or not, is not a good "social norm" and not good for a "peaceful community "...

Part of it is due to culture and part of it is due to frustration and between them they lead us to this.

When you have a culture that decides to not talk out of reverence for the thug life and fear of reprisal and mistrust of the "other," you end up sowing cover for the murderer.

When you know it's your job to try to police and protect an entire community that is mostly working against you for one reason or another, frustration boils over.

Two wrongs never make a right. And yet all I ever hear or see is demands for one side to fix itself. Both sides are sick here.

It's starting.

Get ready.

Get used to it.

You are right. Innocent people being subjected to martial law from crimes they had nothing to do with. It's started.

And we should "get used to it."

Nothing tastes better than the boot of an authoritarian, I suppose.

The goose steppers are jacked!

I bet the crime rate in that neighborhood has been zero for the past couple of days...

Same with freedom and liberty: zero. Sieg Heil!

I get what your saying on the overreach thing, but it won't hit home to most until it directly effects their family. My cousin (pretty much little brother) was shot in the back of the head in one of these ghettos just a couple weeks ago. Guess what, nobody in the neighborhood wants to talk to the police, so my cousin gets no justice.

So on that note, I don't feel sorry for the neighborhoods that actively protect murderers. I feel sorry for the men that have to patrol those criminal havens. I guess if the citizens of that neighborhood are conducting any criminal behavior then they have something to worry about, but if not I'm unsure why getting a dangerous murderer off the streets is a big deal.

On the other hand, neighbors that run their mouth put a target on their back.

Not to mention the police historically have given some people/communities NO reason to be trusted - so they are damned if they do, and damned if they don't. So they choose to stay out of it.

That's why there quotations before and after martial law. A resident was qouted as saying that. It was in the article... Link provided in OP.

How would you define it?

Each State will have their State’s guidelines in their State statutes. Federal government will have Federal guidelines outlined in Federal statutes. If the Governor of Maryland declared Martial Law in Baltimore, pretty sure it would be all over MSM.

So I would recommend you search for Maryland Martial Law statutes. I don’t feel inclined to do your research...

I wonder how much they would welcome the Police if there was a White serial killer running lose in their neighborhood. Ah anyway... I think the law normally does this in these neighborhoods for the simple fact that nobody will come forward to report the known offenders in the area. Prett much, "If your not gonna help us and tell us where the bad guy's are, then we will just have to come look on our own in force."

Their past actions as a culture are to blame for these types of responses.

Looks like that career in law enforcement is calling to you, go get em tiger, the police state requires new recruits.

I hope Chicago police are making note of this. They better clean up the bad neighborhoods before some of their officers are killed by the very hoodlums that they've been ignoring.

I agree, but honestly the people in those neighborhoods already have targets on their back. Turning a blind eye to any and all crime adds to the violent nature of those neighborhoods because they're allowing criminals to commit crimes with no repercussions. I'm sure "not snitching" helps lend a hand to the high crime rates in these areas as well. But hey if they feel safe allowing their kids to walk the same streets as a murderer then by all means good luck with that.

Some of the cities in the US have become war zones.

It's sad.

Did they close down a neighborhood for a week for his murders investigation? Yea I didn't think so...which shows about how much they care. I'm sorry for your loss though and I do hope that they are able to find those responsible, just not trampling our rights to do so.

Edit: also a lot of times people who live there don't want reprisals if it is found out they talked...which does happen is such neighborhoods. I mean its not like the,police are going to really protect them later on down the road.

So in your first paragraph you talk about trampling of rights, but then in the second you are suggesting the place is so bad no one can talk without being killed themselves...lol

So what do you do if a place is like a war zone between gangs?

It frightens me how many people in this thread are so willing to give up to a police state or martial law situation. I guess it's fine and dandy until it's your neighborhood.

What would be your solution?

Just curious.

I mean, if you aren't going to rely on the police, what would you do?

In the neighborhoods where some of those soldiers may have grown up.

Not likely. In my unit in basic, we had 2 guy's from the hood. Both were kicked out within a month. Military doesn't deal with that crap, when I was in. Now, I am not sure what the req. are.

a reply to: Middleoftheroad

One of the many reasons no one talks to the police is situations like this. They treat everyone in the neighborhood like a suspect so everyone clams up. Also, tell me how many cops are pointing the finger at other cops when they see them breaking the law.

If this was necessary to gather information then why doesn't it happen in every homicide? Simple, the police are more important than us. We are an underclass. They are not here to serve and protect, we are here to obey orders and do their job for them.

You think that after 8 years of Obama pumping money into the neighborhoods, people would be happy as a lark.

Money won't solve the crime problems in our country.

I'm not sure what will.

Yep.

Yours versus some other neighborhood is extension of not in my back yard and it's only wrong when it's the other team.
