They absolutely should. The electorate in some areas is too stupid to elect competent leadership, and incompetent leadership often has no consequences for their stupidity other than getting kicked out of office. Add more consequences to insanely stupid decisions and we may see better results.

Sovereign Immunity. City can't be sued.
There's a division of Baltimore City government whose entire function is to tell people, "We're not paying. Fuck off". Hell, there was a Korean grocery store (northwest corner of 22nd and Greenmount, for the local guys), and a police car, during a chase, overcooked the turn and went through the side wall. Not only would the city not pay anything, they sent a building inspector out 2 days later to tell them that the board-up was not a proper repair, and they'd be fined $500 a day until it was fixed. ETA: Sundowner caught my mistake. |

They can try but the supreme court has already ruled that police have no obligation to protect citizens life or property.

No, it is the Shuck and Jive Democrats pull. First they go along with the protestors, and then they slide in as the White Knight to pick up the pieces.

I posted twice because this is such an important point. |

I think the GD came to a consensus the other day when this was asked that she should be brought up on charges, convicted, thrown in jail, and than have all her stuff confiscated.

In this case, I think you could make a decent argument that the city made the situation much worse than it should have been. Look what happened once the police actually were allowed to get to work.

Right, but what is the legal point where individual protection ends and "community" protection starts? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile This is what I was thinking. The police owe a duty to the general community. They failed in performing that duty. Why? Because they were told to stand down. It's a basic negligence issue. Was there a duty? Yes. Was the breach of that duty the proximate cause of injury? Yes. Was the plaintiff indeed injured? Yes. If I was the insurer, I wouldn't eat those loses. Of course, there's always the "nuisance" value of a lawsuit and it is cheaper to settle out of court than to litigate a nuisance lawsuit. Imagine if each store owner brought a suit for damages? That's a lot of out of court settlements. |

I doubt that they will have to go after the city. The Obama administration will pour taxpayer money into Baltimore. Agencies, such as FEMA, will hand out money to everyone who wants it. There will be little, if any, accountability.

Almost all business insurance doesn't cover riot, insurrection or invasion. Its a vary expensive umbrella policy that most owners do not get. During the LA riots there was law suits that argued that theft of merchandise should be covered but it was not based on the number of people involved in the theft.

Nope. The police has no constitutional duty to protect them or their shit, per the SCOTUS. They should have defended it themselves. Since they didn't, make a claim with the insurance company and gtfo of there, if they pay. It's obvious Baltimore doesn't want their business being there...

View Quote Indeed... but does the city government as a whole have a duty to not say they won't protect the city? It's an interesting question... A Baltimore resident suit for injunctive relief from Maryland's shitty gun laws might be in order, since they have no police protection. |

POPO should have stood down before prosecutor's announcement, SCOTUS has ruled Popo do not protect individuals. Mayor and Pros are individuals.

Let the city burn to the ground. When that plays on TV, scroll across the top: "This is what liberal (Democrat) policies end in" Then show clips of the mayor, police chief, Obama, Sharpton, H Clinton, etc |

A community is a collection of individuals and they get no protection. |

Why would the insurance companies care?
THEY DONT COVER RIOTS. Done. No worries. The people whose shit gets burned down just lose their asses. Then those businesses go bankrupt and close. And then the buildings sit in ruins. Then some company buys up the entire block, levels it, and puts up some nice shit that then drives the prices in the neighborhood up, and the current residents can no longer afford to live there, and then they move out. Rinse, repeat. |

After the indictments, she won't have to tell them to stand down the next time.

They could set fires while the police sit and watch while drinking coffee... police have no obligation to intervene. Unfortunately, this is the sort of policing we're going to end up with.... They'll just stop intervening and simply respond to clean up the mess. |

The businesses should just suck it up and try to start over someplace that did not have a TV show taking place there with a name like "Homicide".
