Police justify killings like that of Freddy Gray's on the grounds that such aggressive tactics are necessary to protect lives and property. But when widespread destruction of property, and threats to life and limb appear, the police are breathtakingly inefficient.

Of course, we still know little about the death of Gray because the police refuse to take any responsibility. On the other hand, they also refuse to take responsibility for accomplishing their primary mission which is supposed to involve keeping nursing homes and pharmacies from being burned down by arsonists and looters.

Just as with the riots in Ferguson, protection of life and property suddenly becomes the responsibility of the private sector which had already been taxed for "protection."

One is forced to wonder about the total amount of tax revenue that had been taken from Maryland and Baltimore taxpayers over the years in the name of providing "essential" police services. What service is actually being provided?
