Anonymous Baltimore Cops to CNN: Public Asked for ‘Softer’ Police Force, They Got It ........................................................................................................................ Mediaite ^ \| June 10, 2015 \| Evan McMurray Two Baltimore police officers spoke through voice-altering technology to CNN’s Brooke Baldwin Wednesday morning, telling her that cops are in a “reactionary mode” since the criticism of the department over the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody. Violence has spiked in Baltimore since a supposed “police slowdown,” in which officers pull back from their duties when they feel a lack of city and community support. The officers said police are still responding to emergency requests, but have stopped initiating policing, instead retreating into a “reactionary mode.” “Even though you have reasonable suspicion…nine out of 10 times, that officer is going to keep on driving,” one officer said. Why cops are allowed to do this nobody knows, but the two anonymous officers told CNN that the situation creates a boon for criminals. “The criminal element feels as though that we’re not going to run the risk of chasing them if they are armed with a gun, and they’re using this opportunity to settle old beefs, or scores, with people that they have conflict with,” the officer said. “I think the public really, really sees that they asked for a softer, less aggressive police department, and we have given them that, and now they are realizing that their way of thinking does not work.” Watch below, via CNN: (VIDEO-AT-LINK)

BILLY BOY...Bushs own sec of state said HE FUKKED UP!!! He's an idiot cowboy! Powell was a General...while BUSH is a military evader and a prick...wouldn't listen!!! In a new documentary airing Monday on the National Geographic Channel, former Secretary of State Colin Powell opens up about the U.S. invasion of Iraq and claims that he warned President Bush that the U.S. was being steamrolled into war. In the clip from National Geographic's "America vs. Iraq," which was previewed Monday on HuffPost Live, Powell is also heard calling out former Vice President Dick Cheney. Powell described a meeting with President Bush in which he says he recommended the U.S. defer to the United Nations for weapons inspections rather than rush to war. "I said [to President Bush], 'I recommend you take it to the UN. They are the aggrieved party. It's their resolutions that have been offended,'" Powell says in the documentary. In a later speech, Cheney dismissed the idea, saying that Saddam Hussein had "perfected the game of cheat and retreat" and would fool UN weapons inspectors searching for weapons of mass destruction. "In his speech, he effectively shot down the proposal, shot down what we were getting ready to do," Powell said of Cheney. "'The UN couldn't do this, it was probably a waste of time.' Everything that you shouldn't have said, in my humble judgment, with respect to a decision the President had made." Paul Mitchell, Executive Producer of "America vs. Iraq," joined HuffPost Live to discuss the film and told host Ahmed Shihab-Eldin that he believes Powell when he says he opposed the Iraq war. "I think he was in a very, very difficult position," Mitchell said of Powell. "As far as I can tell, he did make the arguments in private, trying to make the policy better."
