This sounds like a repeat of Balto MD when Stephanie Rawlings-Blake allowed her constituents to run riot as she deemed it necessary and allowed her constituents to do as they damn well please and not conduct themselves in a orderly manner in protest of Freddie Grey’s death.
Rawlings-Blake presumably made a statement implying damage suffered would eventually be made good by insurance agencies .

Rawlings-Blake wanted her constituents to release their tensions-at the cost of the City of Baltimore.
Take a litle time to look up her bio and you will find Rawlings-Blake well educated and part of a class of people who are grandfathered (by virtue of education , social connections etc) into minor political office in predominately black cities.
If you recall - getting her to take a public stand on civil disobedience in her city at the time and to come to the microphone & implore people to cut the crap was really a bad scene because within 24hrs or less Gov Hogan appeared on the scene of his own accord. I can only compare Rawlings-Blake inaction to Queen Elizabeth holed up in Balmoral that Aug of many yrs ago to acknowledge
the death of Diana, POW- it was like pulling teeth
Rawlings-Blake never called Gov Hogan-he called her with words more or less as to “Why can’t you get your shit together & put the city in order?. Gov Hogan put it all back together and order was restored .
I will say Rawlings-Blake has a incomprable resting b*tch
face leaving The Mooch in the dust on that.
It was of significant disapointment to see Rawlings-Blake giving press confrences and still maintaing the resting b*tch face-she showed absolutely no emotion, sympathy, or passion & plea for people to stop the crap they were engaging in & not even a reaction-she did not emote.
When Rawlings-Blake took office she looked like this:
and she’s done well for herself in now maintaining a significant weight loss , new wardrobe more in keeping with her role as Mayor of Balto City and turned herself over (presumably) and funneled in to her allies in higher office in the State of Maryland, WashDC and to Al Sharpton’s network compadres.

In my opinion one of the reasons Rawlings-Blake did not step up to the plate at the time was because she KNEW about the plan for federalizing local law enforcement that has been touted by the Obama admin and the Dept of Justice.
I believe and it is my opinion she let people run wild is because Baltimore MD has a high percentage of African-Americans and to be used as a “test city” regarding Homeland Security involvement on a local level in implementing federal agendas and the UN agenda21
She was and is still following the party line according to Obama admin & all the rest of the African American agitator groups trying to stir up civil unrest.
It is widely known she sees herself as Mayor of Baltimore as a stepping stone in state or federal employment such as the Senate or Congress for example. She is definitely crafting her work as Mayor of Balto City to retire with a federal pension in the long run.
Now this leads me to another point-you must understand Rawlings-Blake is a Dem in a big Dem city. She’ll do her job but she has no real heart for Baltimore, she couldn’t give a rat’s ass about anyone or it’s citizens-she’s all about what her next move will be to her best benefit.
One of the reasons she did not pur her foot down and stop all the crap they were doing was because she knew before hand she could get federal monies-grant or otherwise to re-develop those areas and deprive legitimate store owners of their licenses for what ever they were selling/retailing.
And black Baltimore & the Mayor’s office does not support Korean business owners and it’s a well known fact in Balto African Americans do NOT like Koreans there is a huge amount of animosity there because the average, under-educated African American see the Koreans as a threat because they don’t “have” what the Koreans have; an income.
I would venture to guess the amount of federal money -ebt,sec 8, food stamps pours a high number of recipients who is unable to facilitate personal success and that my friend is the never-ending story and it’s a cycle that is happening nationwide.
To me the worse part is the state & federal govt’s are funding dying cities and this is one tough nut to crack. Rawlings-Blake is not a builder of consensus neither a individual to step out on a limb & develop plans in breathing back some life. She’s only here for her own
“ride” nothing more nothing less ahd couldn’t give a farthing.
And so the circle goes round & round and it never stops.
I believe she just didn’t want to diss her peeps; there is no reason for her to expect any federal or state help with these problems as both are out of money. Newark NJ laid off over 160 cops at the height of a murder spree because there was simply no money left anywhere to save their (practically no-show) jobs. All these black welfare reservations can expect is weak attempts to draw non-black spenders to prop them up (and it usually doesn’t work). Moving the NJ Devils to Newark NJ, as well as putting the battleship New Jersey museum and state aquarium in Camden NJ, has done nothing to save them.
She is simply a mini-Obama, a useless token manipulated by larger forces behind the scenes to give an illusion of black power while they collectively fall further behind just about everyone else on the planet.
