Feds to investigate (oh my!)

[marcinstl]

the Baltimore mayor has to get on top of and out in front of all this negativity and be transparent, oh yes.

see, no need, no excuses, for rioting, the mayor and the Fed be on the job. in showbiz it is possible to put lipstick on a pig and make it look good.
lessons learned in other situations come to Baltimore. if the Baltimore PD can pass scrutiny, then they're Fed approved. if Baltimore has to get rid of a few bad apples or policies, it was past time doing that anyway.
(my only expectation from any of this is more police body camera videos on youtube for our entertainment).

She's just passing the buck...deflecting accountability away from herself. It's not like she's the MAYOR or anything... Typical of her type of politician (about as PC a way as I can say it given that we are on the wide open web ).

Yep, another dog and pony show. I spent my whole working career as a department manager in a well known industry. If anyone in my department screwed up it was my a$$ that got called on the carpet, not the employee. I was responsible for everything that happened in that department. What's going on?????.

The Skippy Regime gave the City of Baltimore $1.8 Billion.... because they are a Depressed society

Liberal democrats have run Baltimore for the past fifty years. If there is a police problem in Baltimore it's a liberal democrat problem. Baltimore's police department is made up disproportionately of black officers. Baltimore is the quintessential proof that liberalism fails every time it's tried. (Ain't that right, unhuh?)

Not just promising to cooperate, but ASKING the feds to investigate her police department? In effect, she said "I have no business being mayor of this city. I'm not capable of doing the job."

any fan of advanced marshal arts knows how to get out of the way, don't just stand there like a big dummy, start dancin, rope-a-dope until a another day. now, the great practitioner of teflon politics was, of course, Ronald (got de teflon workin) Reagan. teflonizim was then taken to near religious status by Clinton. Bush just looks like a sorry idiot and everybody blames Cheney (George laughing his butt off). hey, it's only politics. if you don't like american politics move to brazil or china.
