"A spokesman for Baltimore Mayor Bernard C. 'Jack' Young said the toppling of the statue is a part of a national and global reexamination over monuments 'that may represent different things to different people.'

'We understand the dynamics that are playing out in Baltimore are part of a national narrative,' Lester Davis said.

'We understand the frustrations. What the city wants to do is serve as a national model, particularly with how we've done with protesting.'"

What if people threw Malcom X statues into the water? Think they’d react with the same sense of urgency to stop it?

Not a fucking chance. This isn't about black lives, this isn't about police brutality, this has long been about spoiled little bitches throwing a temper tantrum trying to get free stuff. Fuck them all.

Consistent with their 5-year-old policy to give protesters space to destroy.

“We also gave those who wish to destroy space to do that as well.”

Former Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake in 2015.
