Police sacrificed in Baltimore...

Let me start off by saying that the transport officer in the Freddie Gray case should be charged with involuntary manslaughter.

That's a given, but make no mistake about it.  The other officers charged in this case are being sacrificed on the altar of political power.

Did you notice that the President's press secretary stated that they were reaching out to prominent Baltimore residents to call for peace?  Did you wonder why the President himself isn't doing it?  Did you notice that the African American female mayor of the city called on religious leaders to talk to residents about the case and how things would proceed instead of speaking herself?  Did you notice that most of the concerns were about JOBS...no one disputed the fact that this is a high crime area!

What you saw was a tantrum precipitated by a lack of jobs, poor economic conditions and a black leadership that has failed to respond to those needs.

The hope from the White House to the Mayors office is that things get back to "normal" as soon as possible.  If they're able to distract people again, then maybe no one will notice that while the Democrats had full control of the government they focused on health care, immigration and gay rights instead of jobs.

The elite...both black and white...fiddled while the country burned.
