DEMAND That #BALTIMORE MAYOR RESIGN IMMEDIATELY !!!

"We also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that, as well..."   Demand Baltimore Mayor STEPHANIE RAWLINGS-BLAKE RESIGN IMMEDIATELY X      George Weinert        ZIP Code:   60626   Please add your name!  SIGN HERE »    I hope you'll use the above petition to add your name to the growing list of conservatives who are calling on Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to step down. The Tea Party is leading the charge by demanding her immediate resignation. Law enforcement is still on high alert in the wake of riots that caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage and led to more than 450 arrests. Baltimore's liberal Democrat Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake ordered police to "stand down" while giving violent protesters "space to destroy" private property and police vehicles. Order was finally restored after the Governor deployed 2,500 National Guardsmen into the city's streets. Mayor Rawlings-Blake encouraged lawlessness in Baltimore as homeowners and shopkeepers feared for their lives and their property.This is completely unacceptable. Our elected officials are entrusted to keep their oath of office and protect their constituents. Mayor Rawlings-Blake's dereliction of duty makes her wholly unfit to hold office. The Tea Party launched a public campaign to demand Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake resign immediately, and we need your support! Once we've collected 50,000 signatures, The Tea Party will deliver the signed petitions to the Maryland Board of Elections. It's absolutely critical that we reach 50,000 signatures in 72 hours. So please take just a moment to sign our petition. In the hours after the riots began, Fox News reported an official involved with law enforcement efforts said Mayor Rawlings-Blake ordered police to "stand down" as chaos spread across Western Baltimore. And when given the opportunity to address the public for the first time, Mayor Rawlings-Blake explained that she wanted to provide violent protesters "space to destroy" parts of the city. It's simply outrageous. That's why you and I must pressure Mayor Rawlings-Blake to resign... immediately. Baltimore needs true leadership, and Mayor Rawlings-Blake proved she is not fit to lead the city of Baltimore. Please sign the above Tea Party "Demand Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake Resign!" petition, then please chip in $25 or $50 toward our efforts, so we can print and deliver these petitions to the Maryland Board of Elections by next week. Thank you. In Freedom, Niger Innis Executive Director P.S. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake failed the people of Balitmore and ignored her oath of office when she allowed violent protesters to destroy hundreds of thousands of dollars in private property and police equipment during the recent riots. The Tea Party is holding her accountable by demanding that she resign immediately. Please sign our "Demand Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake Resign!" petition, then help us deliver thousands of these petitions to the Maryland Board of Elections by chipping in $25, $50, or more right away. Thank you.

#PJNET Defense attorneys in #FreddieGray case call for state's attorney to be recused !n@FOX

Defense attorneys representing six Baltimore police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray filed a motion Friday to have the case dismissed, or for the city’s top prosecutor to be recused from the case and replaced by a special prosecutor, citing alleged conflict of interest.

The attorneys argue in the documents that the officers were victims of an 'overzealous prosecution' by State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby, who they claim has personal and political motivations in the case.

Among the alleged conflicts of interest cited, the motion includes Mosby's marriage to the city councilman who represents the district where Gray died. 

The motion claims that Mike Mosby had a professional and personal interest in having riots in his district that erupted after Gray's death come to an end, and that Marilyn Mosby therefore had an interest in filing charges quickly.

“...His wife, Marilyn Mosby, had a professional and personal interest in accommodating the needs of her husband – his political future directly affects her personal, professional and political interests,” the motion argues.

Defense attorneys contend that Mosby's relationship with the Gray family attorney also creates a conflict of interest. The attorney, William Murphy, is a close friend, ally and lawyer for Mosby.

#Baltimore #COPS launch #MyLifeMatters campaign; the reaction is unbelievable !!! @BIZ

May 6, 2015 by Tom Tillison 219 Comments

Baltimore police are facing a barrage of criticism on social media after the local chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police launched a #MyLifeMatters campaign on Twitter.

In response to days of anti-police protests in Baltimore last week, Gene Ryan, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Baltimore City Lodge 3, has expressed concern about low morale among officers during interviews with the media and the campaign serves as a show of support.

Problems begin to surface in Freddie Gray case;
prosecutor’s haste may backfire, big time

Photos depicting officers with the hashtag written on their hands surfaced on Twitter, along with photos from family members. There was even a photo posted in support of slain New York Police Department Officer Brian Moore, who was shot and killed over the weekend.

But the feel-good sentiment was more than the “police brutality” crowd could tolerate, with one user accusing police of instigating conflict: “Baltimore police union really trying it with this #MyLifeMatters hashtag. They really do want a war.”

Here is that tweet, along with a number of other vile reactions, as seen on Twitter.

Will Baltimore Use #Social #Media to Prosecute Rioters?

Baltimore's mayor promised to use social media to prosecute rioters. It may not be so easy.

Last Monday night, while Baltimore residents set fires and looted stores to protest the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced that police would use social media video and images to prosecute rioters. "We will be holding people accountable," she said.

More than 200 arrests related to the rioting have been made since then, and about half of those arrested have been released without charge. Several videos of the violence and looting made their way to social media, but there's no indication that posts have directly resulted in charges. Whether or not Baltimore authorities decide to actively pursue offenders depicted on social media could come down to how much pressure the community puts forth for arrests. Or how much help the police get from members of the public to identify offenders. 

When rioters took to the streets in Vancouver after the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals—resulting in fires, stabbings, and 139 hospitalizations—authorities used more than 5,000 hours of social media video footage to file charges against as many as 300 people. There was, according to a 2011 Department of Justice report, "high public interest in seeking out the identity of the rioters," and local police received more than 3,500 tips to help identify offenders.

The hashtag #BALTIMORELOOTCREW spread phony images of Baltimore unrest.

Baltimore firm traced tweets purporting to be from Baltimore riots to Russia, China and India.

After riots overtook West Baltimore on Monday, a hashtag began to appear on Twitter and other social media — #BALTIMORELOOTCREW — linking together posts that depicted pilfered prescription drugs and demolished store shelves.

On Freddie Gray coverage, don't blame the messenger

But that "crew" was not actually in Baltimore protesting the death of Freddie Gray, according to a local cybersecurity company. Many photos shared using that label, and others, were taken years ago, and often not even in the United States, employees at Federal Hill-based ZeroFox found.

Bad actors and so-called "hacktivists" descended on Baltimore — electronically, at least — this past week, flooding social media with automated accounts and inauthentic images, said James C. Foster, CEO of the social media risk management firm. Law enforcement and cybersecurity experts said such barrages increasingly target areas of unrest around the world, spurring violence and challenging efforts to contain it.

"There's a global reach now where they don't have to be here to further instigate it," Foster said.

The company's specialty is rooting out cyber criminals lurking on social media. And when West Baltimore erupted in rioting Monday, its employees felt compelled to apply their skills. ZeroFox worked into the night tracing tweets and Facebook accounts that shared photos of looting and violence.

Freddie Gray coverage

What they found was that
much of the activity was coming from
well outside of Baltimore, in some cases
from Russia, China, India and the
Middle East.

"I just killed a pig," wrote one tweet,
showing a bloodied police officer slumped
on the ground. Not only was the photo of
an officer in South America, but the
account sharing it was not in Baltimore.

Another tweet, which appeared to be
coming from the Baltimore police, asked,
"Why are we even tweeting?" and suggested
that the protesters couldn't read. It also
referred to them with a racial slur.

Liberal #LAW professor demolishes case against #Baltimore cops ! @BIXPAC

Not justice, just ‘crowd control’

May 3, 2015 by Michael Dorstewitz 21 Comments

Famed defense lawyer and liberal Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz blasted Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s rush to judgment in bringing homicide charges against six cops for the death of Freddie Gray.

Dershowitz told Newsmax’s Steve Malzberg that it was “a very sad day for justice.”

“Today had nothing to do with justice,” he said in a telephone interview Friday. “Today was crowd control. Everything was motivated by a threat of riots and a desire to prevent riots.”

Dershowitz also ripped into Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.

“The mayor outrageously said we’re going to get justice for the victim, the family and people of Baltimore, never mentioning the defendants. Under our Constitution, the only people who are entitled to justice are the defendants,” he told Malzberg.

“They are presumed innocent, they need due process of law, and the mayor and the state attorney have made it virtually impossible for these defendants to get a fair trial,” he said. “They have been presumed guilty.”
