“One thing that history has taught us is that civil unrest is rarely just about what incites the incident. From what information the public has been given, Freddie Gray’s death seems like a malignant cocktail of negligence and abuse, and the charges brought against the six officers seem to confirm that. But we’ve seen this all before—many times.”

I think the Coach has jumped the shark on this one.

The word ‘negligence’ can hardly apply to a community that in 2013 received 1.8 billion in ‘stimulus’.

Where is the money now? Where is the ‘effect’ of such largess?

Is it humanly POSSIBLE to bogie 1.8 billion without even a PRETENSE of having had a plan to serve the community? as ANY accountability tied to the ‘stimulus’?

Who walked away with their pockets SO stuffed with cash that they STILL must be hugging themselves in disbelief at their OWN dumb luck? Who is out there in Baltimore STILL laughing their collective a%$es off at the credulity and idiocy of American taxpayers and the clueless leadership that parted with 1.8 billion, without even blinking just as if it was so much confetti?

The quote you cited is from Kareem...not 'Coach'.
