Mayor's Authority To Declare Curfew Challenged

Public defenders are challenging the Baltimore mayor's authority to impose a citywide curfew after last month's riots stemming from the death of Freddie Gray.

In a filing Monday in Maryland District Court, the deputy city public defender says Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake overstepped her authority in ordering a citywide, 10 p.m. curfew for all residents April 27.

Natalie Finegar says only the governor could have ordered a curfew when he declared a state of emergency that day.

Anyone who is not rational should be challenged frequently.

As yourself? Who is to say what's rational? The conformed sheeple of America?

I'd challenge a curfew period. Aren't we free men?

Has Mayor Rawlings-Blake ever apologized for ordering the police to stand down?

Blake and Mosby....personal agendas - lacking leadership and qualifications to do the job!

Hahahahahahahaha. Another American idiot that has been brainwashed into believing this is still a free country. I still think it's the greatest country in the world but a free country. No way. Not any more.
