camp, if you would. 5,000 traps walking around with rifles and guns is a little unnerving. yesterday i went to high schools in baltimore to try to get some sense of peace before friday comes and to go outside of a high school and see that many armed force agents was unnefk for 15 and 16-year-olds. i will speak to the commanding general of the maryland national guard who is in charge. what do you want me to ask? how is it that we treat our children as outright criminals? imagine just last week a young man goes to trial for shooting up a movie theater in denver. what happens? he s apprehended. he s not shot. in the afterrican-american community all we see is brute force. baltimore has had to pay out in excess of $5.3 million for out-of-court settlements for how it is the relationship between baltimore police and the local community is it s estranged.
