If mayors need advise for improvement of their cities they can look US Senator Booker.

I realize Senator Booker has a lot to do in DC, but, he is looking to change sentencing guidelines. He was very successful in Newark, New Jersey and it didn't take a lifetime to do it. Newark is a different city today. Baltimore needs to move to a place where young black men are not killed and face a judge for anything they have done wrong. 

CURRENTLY, BALTIMORE DOES PRACTICE DUE PROCESS. That is a problem. 

We are witnessing a great people of Baltimore. We know they exist and we knew they existed before. I am pleased the mood of the city is far more improved from yesterday. There is every reason to believe the citizens of Baltimore have reclaimed their streets. I hope any one who disregards the importance of a neighborhood are taking a lesson from these citizens and their children.

I have heard a great deal today from those same people. It is right for the mayor to make example of the community's response. Absolutely. There are sincere problems. Young men are being killed by Baltimore cops. The community, even children, are complaining about the blight they suffer. The mayor needs to have regular Town Halls with this community. But, the deaths are heinous and have to stop. They are young men hidden behind the walls of a police van and exposed to violence that kills them. ENOUGH!

New Jersey's U.S. Senators Menendez and Cory Booker and their counterparts in New York, Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, all Democrats, are pledging to examine those issues and others in their roles as members of the Sandy Task Force, which also includes Craig Fugate, the head of FEMA....
