It's not stupid people; it's very intelligent people, paving the road to a nationalized police force.

no more in dark poetic humor expressing my disgust...and yes they are foolish not stupid no, but acting and choosing to be ignorant and subject to a police state...it's so predictable that it's almost sadly funny... if my head didn't hurt so much from the idiocy

I remember mapping the route to Ocean City...everyone said the same two words about planning a route.

Avoid Baltimore.

Sad.

They're not foolish or idiots either; they're ordinary people and there's something huge happening here. Last month, six cities were chosen by the federal government to be pilot cities for nationalized police forces. The mayor of Baltimore is a member of that national task force. These are the first footstones to a national police force. Take a moment to look at anything at all official happening around the shiny stupid media frenzy of the riot. Stop looking at the citizens and look at what the official are doing. History is being made.

Interesting. What are the names of the other five cities?

[Jack]

Baltimore isn't one of them. Fort Worth, Texas; Gary, Indiana; Stockton, California; Birmingham, Alabama; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The mayor of Baltimore is a member of that national task force.

Wherever reading that was incorrect; she was an advisor, not a task force member. The article of that information made the connection to the task force, due to a recent application for federal funding to put body cameras on police in Baltimore, and the body camera being task force supported idea. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-mayor-testimony-20150113-story.html

Interesting.

Nationalizing the police would make law enforcement personnel simply another government branch of armed services; like another military force but with a different focus. Right now, the government might have a difficult time imposing martial law on the entire country, though no so with a national police having standardized training and directives of the federal government. Good idea or bad, do see it happening regardless and the platform of racial tension is an extremely intelligent way to promote the first stages. First start with the most dissatisfied, then it will take a different turn with the media not only focusing on police brutality of minorities, but rather misconduct in general, to affect the attitudes of the rest of the public. The current administration's agenda of a national police standard isn't a new idea, but the actual implementation certainly is new. Something clicked for me yesterday. About a month ago, was thinking to myself, haven't noticed a traffic cop in months. The ones who sit by the side of the road with their radar going, the ones who patrol around neighborhoods and business areas just patrolling, the ones with the random person pulled over on the side of the road for whatever reason, haven't seen one in months, not one. That's the contact and perspective the general public have with the police, as serving the purpose of monitoring the public, watching and waiting to catch someone doing some petty something wrong. Thinking the tides are turning.

Reading about the topic spun me off into reading quite a bit about the mayor, and the media scrutiny of inaction, with some of those articles drawing conspiratorial lines between that non-responsive behavior, the similar orders of the national guard to stand down during the Indiana riots, petitions for government grants, and the involvement of both mayors in the national task force. Oh my, certainly got my tin foil hat all warm and toasty. That link isn't really great or highly informative, but the first of what is assumed to be much more to come. It has my attention.
