MD - Officers Injured, Baltimore Businesses Shut Down Amid Violent Riots - #1

[SCHMAE]

Did it show LE chunking those rocks?

I do not know the answer as I've been back and forth from channels on tv the last few hours . I did not see that so not sure. I saw earlier a rioter throwing many rocks at a line of police but that's the only rock throwing I've seen and it was probably 3 hrs ago.

No matter what happens from here on out I have to say I am proud and amazed at Baltimore LE.
All afternoon they have been cursed, spit on, had dangerous items thrown at them and they held. They saw lawlessness go on and they held. They saw some of their brethern fall, and they held. Theymay not have been able to stop it, but they contained it. They held. And they held without firing their gun. .

I'm not second-guessing police tactical decisions. But the overwhelming sense out there was that people were doing this because they could

And hopefully down the road they remember some of these rock chunkers

I can't imagine the frustration... but officers, throwing rocks at the rioters won't help. :facepalm:

I think the police are showing alot of restraint to not show more force.It was not that long ago the police reacted in a more violent way to any aggression.

What was the swat team shooting?
Rubber bullets?

Everyone looting CVS appeared to come out with practical things.
Toilet paper, formula, things like that. :dunno:

Cops are carrying tons of the zip tie cuffs.

 

[scorekeeper]

it is sad because the neighborhood just recently got the CVS (probably had to give tax incentives for them to open in the area).

Since this is what CVS sells, what else could they have come out with?

 

[MsFacetious]

Medication, water, toys, clothes, medical stuff. CVS sells lots more then TP and baby formula.

No.

Additionally there was a disingenuous reporter reporting on the alleged throwing of rocks by LEO's.

I have yet to see a credible account that this ever happened.

Let's say it did happen for the sake of discussion...
I can think of far better things LEO's would have used/thrown to protect themselves from these violent looters/rioters; and I'm not referring to their protective shields.

Well I guess you have to get there early to get the good stuff. I am trying really hard to understand what your point is here.
