Dear Baltimore Maryland please elect yourselves a different
mayor, because the one you have doesn't have your best interest at heart. No!
She is trying to please the Show that is now popular on the TV Medias Networks.
The media sensational story causing people excitement is not what you want.
Just remember that the media are thrill freaks looking for the next best addicting TV Show, do not allow yourself to be used like that. You want to elect someone with substance who will help you to rebuild you Neighborhoods and City. In a more practical way that you want done, Jobs, better Schools, better City Services. No! Throw the bums out and replace them with the right people. Good luck.

Sheriff: ‘I
Was Sick To My Stomach’ After Being Told To Stand Down
April 30, 2015 9:30 AM
BALTIMORE (CBS BALTIMORE)
— A Maryland sheriff who traveled to Baltimore to help law enforcement stop
Monday’s riots told 105.7 The Fan that he was stunned when officers alerted him
of the orders to stand down.
Michael Lewis is the Sheriff in Wicomico County, and was
also a Sergeant with the Maryland State Police. He joined Ed Norris and Steve
Davis on Thursday to talk about the alleged controversial orders the police
were given during the riots.
Lewis said it wasn’t his intention to come to Baltimore, a
drive of about two hours, but he felt it was his duty to help.
“I hadn’t planned to go to Baltimore at all. I watched the
events unfold Saturday night like we all did, and was very concerned about what
I saw, and the the lack of response Saturday night,” he said. “I immediately
rallied up the troops. We made sure our MRAP was prepared and ready. … We were
assigned to assigned to protect Baltimore City Police headquarters, all of E.
Fayette Street up to City Hall, to include City Hall. There wasn’t a whole lot
of activity taking place at all. We could smell that putrid smell of burning
tires and a city on fire when as we came into the city. Had lots of concerns
like everyone else. We maintained our post all night long until we were
relieved.”
But what shocked him the most, he said, was when city police
told him not to confront and accost the rioters.
“I was sick to my stomach like everybody else. … This was
urban warfare, no question about it. They were coming in absolutely beaten
down. The [city officers] got out of their vehicles, thanked us profusely for
being there, apologized to us for having to be there. They said we could have
handled this, we were very capable of handling this, but we were told to stand
down, repeatedly told to stand down,” he said. “I had never heard that order
come from anyone — we went right out to our posts as soon as we got there, so I
never heard the mayor say that. But repeatedly these guys, and there were many
high-ranking officials from the Baltimore City Police Department … and these
guys told me they were essentially neutered from the start. They were spayed
from the start. They were told to stand down, you will not take any action, let
them destroy property. I couldn’t believe it, I’m a 31-year veteran of law
enforcement. … I had never heard anything like this before in my life and these
guys obviously aren’t gonna speak out and the more I thought about this … I had
to say a few things. I apologize if I’ve upset people, but I believe in saying
it like it is.”
Lewis said though he didn’t hear the order to stand down
come from the mayor, he did hear it from police officials.
