BREAKING NEWS – Baltimore, Maryland – Despite a firm denial by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, a senior law enforcement source charges that she gave an order for police to “stand down” as riots broke out Monday night, raising more questions about whether some of the violence and looting could have been prevented. She said that this was just a simple case of miscommunication. Blake explained that what she said during the riots, was after she noticed that someone accidentally bumped into a street vendor selling hot dogs, and informed the police that “someone knocked his stand down”. She said this also proves that she was trying to protect local businesses.
