Baltimore Mayor Rawlins-Blake Throws her own police department under the bus.

There's no loyalties from a  Democrat trying to dodge responsibilities:.

• Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake asked the Justice Department on Wednesday to conduct a full-scale civil rights investigation into the pattern and practices of the Baltimore Police Department — a probe that would examine excessive force, discriminatory harassment, false arrests, and unlawful stops, searches or arrests.
  "We all know that Baltimore continues to have a fractured relationship between the police and the community," Rawlings-Blake said. "I'm willing to do what it takes to reform my department." [Baltimore Sun]
   

No, actually if she was willing she would have done it before this happened. Now that the DOJ came and breathed down her neck..and following a long line of liberal lunacy perpetrated by the mayor, she is still seeking to deflect the blame for everything from herself...and doesn't care who she throws under the bus.

Looting is Just Another Way To Force People to Share the Wealth

Or so it might seem when the very Democrat Baltimore Mayor tells police to allow protesters "space to destroy" and then tells them to "let them loot."

• Citing a senior law enforcement source, correspondent Leland Vittert told Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Wednesday that Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake instructed police Monday to “let them loot.”
  “This is coming from a very senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the orders that were given by the mayor and by her police commanders, down to the very core of the police riot control units,” Vittert said.
  “What I am quoting now from him is, quoting the mayor, ‘Let them loot, it’s only property.’”

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is One of the Worst Mayors Ever

That is, unless you don't mind the city giving approval to have your house or business destroyed. Rioters claimed to be protesting the death of Freddie Gray, who died of spinal injuries after his arrest in Baltimore made it clear that they were bent on destruction and not demonstration .

Have a problem with that? Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said it was OK:

• “I made it very clear that I work with the police and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their right to free speech............It’s a very delicate balancing act, because while we try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well,” she said.
