She done know why the cage bird sing – Poll tested and candidate approved, Hillary Clinton stakes out her Moonbat position that cops in America intentionally target young black men for “mass incarceration”.

New York – Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave the most substantive speech of her nascent presidential campaign so far on Wednesday.
In her address at Columbia University, Clinton called for a major overhaul in the US criminal justice system. She repeatedly lambasted “the mass incarceration that we currently practice” and overly punitive, “arbitrary” criminal statutes, which she said result in racial discrimination.
“There is something profoundly wrong when African-American men are still far more likely to be stopped and searched by police, charged with crimes, and sentenced to longer prison terms than are meted out to their white counterparts. There is something wrong when a third of all black men face the prospect of prison during their lifetimes,” Clinton said. “We have allowed our criminal justice system to get out of balance and these recent tragedies should galvanize us to come together as a nation to find our balance again.”

Someone needs to tell the protestors in Ferguson Missouri that this is not a competition for who can protest most violently. 
Last night in Ferguson one man was shot in the familiar West Florissant strip that was the scene of protests throughout the fall and winter.  The police disbursed the crowd only to face additional gunfire an hour later in the Canfield Greens neighborhood.

At 12:15 a.m.: Report of shots fired and at least one victim on Windward Court. The street which runs through an area with several apartment complexes, including Canfield Green.
Several of the protesters had retreated to this area after police ordered them to disperse from West Florissant Avenue. (more…)

We share this story to bring forth a point. There is a real danger when the professional Black Grievance Industry makes a decision to construct a false story of racial animosity, and the media decide to sell it. (Trayvon Martin / Mike Brown as examples) Unstable people read these stories, believe them, then take action based upon the enemy identified within them. This is dangerous.

During the next hour, you will hear officers using bull horns to make announcements about the 10:00pm curfew.

This is jaw dropping moonbattery even from the mouth of a CNN Grand Moonbat:

I am sorry for what I said earlier about veterans. It was wrong and I apologize to anyone who was hurt by my comments.

Currently it is being reported the investigation into Freddie Gray’s death will be complete by Friday. However, the same media reports are saying the results will not be made immediately public. This is odd considering the surrounding ideology of Baltimore which would be highly favorable to a finding of wrongdoing by the police.
If the investigation revealed police wrongdoing there is nothing in the Baltimore political apparatus which would keep it hidden from public. Ergo, there’s a possibility any report would contain exculpatory information beneficial to the police.
Which brings us to a potential game changing discovery showing up in some social media about Freddie Gray having spinal surgery shortly before the events outlined within the controversial encounter. It must be noted however, that none of this is factually confirmed and we should research further.
The story is in essence:

“Freddie Gray had a pre-existing spinal and neck injury [from a car accident] and had severe damage and scar tissue from an accident that Allstate insurance was paying via a large structured settlement.
Freddie had several unsuccessful spinal fusion surgeries, and his most recent spinal/cervical operation was a week and a half before he was arrested.  Freddie should have been at home in bed resting and recovering from this recent major operation.
If you look on Howard County Civil Court records you will find a case whereby Freddie Gray Jr. was trying to cash in his monthly structured Allstate settlement into a lump sum payout through Peachtree funding”.

Another report from The Fourth Estate essentially encapsulates the same story outlined in alternate (social) media: (more…)

A Potemkin Village is a best described as: “an impressive façade or show designed to hide an undesirable fact or condition“.
The media narrative surrounding the Baltimore Riots is one such construct.
These undesirable facts and conditions the progressives desperately need to avoid are  being brutally spotlighted in Baltimore Maryland. A cultural petri dish of necessary avoidance to hide the reality of progressive racial failure.

One easy to identify example of their efforts therein has recently surfaced.  It surrounds the media’s desperate desire to hide the violence within Baltimore.

The staff of the City Paper of Baltimore was challenged in their reporting. City Paper editors and writers framing the rioting masses as “peaceful protestors“, while the public at large sees “violent antagonists“.

Today President Obama addressed the state of emergency in Baltimore Maryland, calling the violent reactions “counter-productive.”

As Baltimore Burns the media begins the blame game. Last night pressing the Maryland Governor on why it took so long for the Maryland National Guard to be activated Governor Larry Hogan cuts right to the chase: “Within 30 seconds of receiving the call, I activated the National Guard”.
The delay stems from Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake refusing to ask for assistance, and refusing to return phone calls from the Governors office. Start watching the video at 09:00 to see delivery:

There’s a really weird bit of discussion beginning in the media about the Baltimore Riots being pre-planned and organized. It’s almost as if they are trying to create the appearance of some weird kind of conspiracy theory.

Local reporter and councilman say Baltimore riots were PLANNED in ADVANCE http://t.co/kHCBd60bVp

Apparently many people were shocked by the riots; as if unexpected or something.
To believe it was a spontaneous uprising is actually silly.  There was a plan put in place on social media on Sunday.  However, it’s not some grand conspiracy – just a common social media plan shared quickly and executed as scheduled.
Here’s the meme which began it: (more…)
