This could derail Martin O'Malley's presidential bid against Hillary. As mayor of Baltimore, he was perfectly awful on civil rights, with tens of thousands of arrests for minor offenses like loitering and littering.

The death of Freddie Gray is hardly an isolated incident. Baltimore has paid out nearly $6 million in lawsuits just since 2011 , and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Yeah, the folks doing the rioting are thugs. But just how much better are those thugs in blue?

Onward and upward,
