[quote=flu]what about all that looting? Where’s the prosecution for all those that burned down businesses and looted?[/quote]

That prosecution may come. Hundreds, maybe thousands were rounded up by police, stuck in crowded small cells, without adequate water or food, held without being charged. Some who have been charged had bail set at double the bail for the police officers that were charged.

But ultimately, under the circumstances, your question is nothing more than a grotesque diversion. You seek justice for looters. The collective spines of the black community in Baltimore have been busted up for decades by brutal police tactics. I can’t condone, dismiss or defend the mayhem on the streets of Baltimore this week. The vast majority of peaceful protestors on those city streets would probably agree. But absent the looters, the thugs, the actions that created an environment that demanded non-stop focus, would any charges have been brought? Would peaceful protest have yielded similar results? Which crime is worse, a broken window or a broken spine?
