Mayor Didn't Call For Investigation!

let me understand something:  Baltimore has a black mayor.  They have a black police chief.  Three of the 6 police officers that were charged was black.  And the police department has a high percentage, if not majority of, minorities.  But yet the black mayor want's the feds to come in and investigate whether or not Baltimore has a racist police department?  Well, remember, al "Rooster" sharpton has called for the take over of all police departments by the feds.  It's my understanding that the feds have basically taken over the police departments of New Orleans and Seattle, just to name a few. 

So -- the point?  It wasn't the mayor that made that call.  She was pressured by the feds to ask for this investigation!

It is called, "The buck stops there!".

 

The mayor and police chief are in charge and yet claim to have no clue what is going on in their department. They set the rules, they do the hiring, they set the discipline, they set the training and they are the management..... but it is the fault of someone else. 

 

Now they ask another government agency to come in and tell them if they are screwing up. 

 

It is called pass the buck, I am not responsible, things went to crap under my leadership and I need to blame someone else, I am black and so is my police chief and a majority of our department but I need to blame it on racism, etc. 

 

The lack of leadership by the mayor is almost beyond the pale.

    • The Supreme Court has never ruled to my knowledge that a child under 18 has all rights under the Constitution. A recent Fifth Circuit Court (our circuit in New Orleans) ruling said that an 18 year old is an adult and carries adult rights. That was in reference to the Texas law on issuing a license to carry a handgun in public for people 21 and older. So Texas has had to start issuing carry licenses to 18 year olds. Like other rulings that I’m aware of, those rights do not extend to a person who is not an adult under United States law, under 18. While some rights such as free-speech are protected for children, others are not. As another example of this is that the Fourteenth Amendment requires equal protection and due process.  A 14 year old can be denied the right to sign a contract however so he isn’t included in all “equal protection”. Therefore the issue of a 14 year old carrying a machine gun or any firearm is not a constitutional issue in my opinion. Even under federal law people often state that an 18-20 year old person cannot buy a handgun but that is incorrect. Under both state and federal law an 18-year-old can purchase a firearm in front of a police officer or ATF agent. The federal government, probably through the interstate commerce clause, doesn’t allow federal licensed gun dealers to sell a handgun to an 18 year old however such sales are not banned from a private person to person sale. So again an 18 year old is considered an adult and can purchase and possess handguns but a person under 18 is not included. The 18 year old adult simply can’t buy one from a federally licensed dealer. So there are some restrictions under both state and federal law for some firearms laws which are constitutional. As the Supreme Court ruled in Heller, McDonald and most recently (2022) in Bruen, the Second Amendment protects the right of adults to obtain (keep) and carry (bear) arms but did not extend that right to minors or children.  
    • There is nothing you can give a person with severe dementia that will make him coherent. It's a progressive disease. You can't reverse it,  which proves he does not have severe dementia 
    • Did you watch him at the State Of The Union?  My friend -- he was on something.  BTW, did you watch his taped response to Trump's debate challenge?  It was a 13 second video that they had to edit 5 times.  The man couldn't speak for 13 seconds without having to be edited.  So...
