BRILLIANT AND TRUE: THIS IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE FAILURE OF BALTIMORE’S LEADERSKevin D. Williamson of National Review nails it in this brilliant and true piece! This is so worth the time! This all encompassing look at Baltimore and the failed Democratic city governments gives us the problem and the solution. All I can say is Amen!A few weeks ago, there was an election in Ferguson, Mo., the result of which was to treble the number of African Americans on that unhappy suburb s city council. This was greeted in some corners with optimism   now, at last, the city s black residents would have a chance to see to securing their own interests. This optimism flies in the face of evidence near   St. Louis   and far   Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Francisco . . .St. Louis has not had a Republican mayor since the 1940s, and in its most recent elections for the board of aldermen there was no Republican in the majority of the contests; the city is overwhelmingly Democratic, effectively a single-party political monopoly from its schools to its police department. Baltimore has seen two Republicans sit in the mayor s office since the 1920s   and none since the 1960s. Like St. Louis, it is effectively a single-party political monopoly from its schools to its police department. Philadelphia has not elected a Republican mayor since 1948. The last Republican to be elected mayor of Detroit was congratulated on his victory by President Eisenhower. Atlanta, a city so corrupt that its public schools are organized as a criminal conspiracy against its children, last had a Republican mayor in the 19th century. Its municipal elections are officially nonpartisan, but the last Republican to run in Atlanta s 13th congressional district did not manage to secure even 30 percent of the vote; Atlanta is effectively a single-party political monopoly from its schools to its police department.American cities are by and large Democratic-party monopolies, monopolies generally dominated by the so-called progressive wing of the party. The results have been catastrophic, and not only in poor black cities such as Baltimore and Detroit. Money can paper over some of the defects of progressivism in rich, white cities such as Portland and San Francisco, but those are pretty awful places to be non-white and non-rich, too: Blacks make up barely 9 percent of the population in San Francisco, but they represent 40 percent of those arrested for murder, and they are arrested for drug offenses at ten times their share of the population. Criminals make their own choices, sure, but you want to take a look at the racial disparity in educational outcomes and tell me that those low-income nine-year-olds in Wisconsin just need to buck up and bootstrap it?Black urban communities face institutional failure across the board every day. There are people who should be made to answer for that: What has Martin O Malley to say for himself? What can Ed Rendell say for himself other than that he secured a great deal of investment for the richest square mile in Philadelphia? What has Nancy Pelosi done about the radical racial divide in San Francisco? DETROIT IN RUINS: Mychal Denzel Smith, toy radical at The Nation, offered the usual illiterate slogan  f**k the police  and declared of the rioters:  I also hope they break s**t.  Writers at Salon also endorsed violence for its own sake.  I do not advocate non-violence,  Benji Hart affirmed. Most of this can be credited to juvenile posturing, and it should be noted that the rioters in Baltimore mostly are not burning down tax offices or police stations but are in the main looting businesses and carrying out acts of wanton opportunistic vandalism   that s not a revolt, but a crime spree. Meretricious  black rage  rhetoric notwithstanding, what we have seen in places such as Ferguson and Baltimore is much more ordinarily criminal than political.But there is a legitimate concern here   from which no one seems to be willing to draw the obvious conclusion: There is someone to blame for what s wrong in Baltimore.Would any sentient adult American be shocked to learn that Baltimore has a corrupt and feckless police department enabled by a corrupt and feckless city government? I myself would not, and the local authorities  dishonesty and stonewalling in the death of Freddie Gray is reminiscent of what we have seen in other cities. There s a heap of evidence that the Baltimore police department is pretty bad.This did not come out of nowhere. While the progressives have been running the show in Baltimore, police commissioner Ed Norris was sent to prison on corruption charges (2004), two detectives were sentenced to 454 years in prison for dealing drugs (2005), an officer was dismissed after being videotaped verbally abusing a 14-year-old and then failing to file a report on his use of force against the same teenager (2011), an officer was been fired for sexually abusing a minor (2014), and the city paid a quarter-million-dollar settlement to a man police illegally arrested for the non-crime of recording them at work with his mobile phone. There s a good deal more. Does that sound like a disciplined police organization to you?Yes, Baltimore seems to have some police problems. But let us be clear about whose fecklessness and dishonesty we are talking about here: No Republican, and certainly no conservative, has left so much as a thumbprint on the public institutions of Baltimore in a generation. Baltimore s police department is, like Detroit s economy and Atlanta s schools, the product of the progressive wing of the Democratic party enabled in no small part by black identity politics. This is entirely a left-wing project, and a Democratic-party project.When will the Left be held to account for the brutality in Baltimore   brutality for which it bears a measure of responsibility on both sides? There aren t any Republicans out there cheering on the looters, and there aren t any Republicans exercising real political power over the police or other municipal institutions in Baltimore. Community-organizer   a wretched term   Adam Jackson declared that in Baltimore  the Democrats and the Republicans have both failed.  Really? Which Republicans? Ulysses S. Grant? Unless I m reading the charts wrong, the Baltimore city council is 100 percent Democratic.The other Democratic monopolies aren t looking too hot, either. We re sending Atlanta educators to prison for running a criminal conspiracy to hide the fact that they failed, and failed woefully, to educate the children of that city. Isolated incident? Nope: Atlanta has another cheating scandal across town at the police academy. Who is being poorly served by the fact that Atlanta s school system has been converted into crime syndicate? Mostly poor, mostly black families. Who is likely to suffer from any incompetents advanced through the Atlanta police department by its corrupt academy? Mostly poor, mostly black people. Who suffers most from the incompetence of Baltimore s Democratic mayor? Mostly poor, mostly black families   should they feel better that she s black? Who suffers most from the incompetence and corruption of Baltimore s police department? Mostly poor, mostly black families.And it s the same people who will suffer the most from the vandalism and pillaging going on in Baltimore, too.The evidence suggests very strongly that the left-wing, Democratic claques that run a great many American cities   particularly the poor and black cities   are not capable of running a school system or a police department. They are incompetent, they are corrupt, and they are breathtakingly arrogant. Cleveland, Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore   this is what Democrats do.And the kids in the street screaming about  inequality ? Somebody should tell them that the locale in these United States with the least economic inequality is Utah, i.e. the state farthest away from the reach of the people who run Baltimore. Keep voting for the same thing, keep getting the same thing.  Kevin D. Williamson is roving correspondent at National Review.Read more: National Reviewleft-news
