CNN’s Brooke Baldwin; Military Veterans caused Baltimore riots
Someone sent us a link to Breitbart which reports that this ditz, Brook Baldwin blamed military veterans for the violence last night in Baltimore because…reasons!
[S]he said of young military veterans who become police officers, “I love our nation’s veterans, but some of them are coming back from war, they don’t know the communities, and they are ready to do battle.”
The context was a discussion about increased training and retraining for the Baltimore police.
Yeah, she loves veterans. Most of the veterans I know are tired of the battle. That’s why they come home. It’s just CNN and their morons trying to take whacks at veterans and the troops because folks who sacrifice for military service enjoy so much support in the country. But the stank ass hippies don’t like the fact that they can’t spit on veterans any more.
She should go to Panama City where she can find some support among the Spring Breaker frat brothers.
I’d point out to the little idiot that 15 police officers were injured last night in Baltimore, the mayor and the governor decided that it was uniformed National Guardsmen who could solve the problem that the actual culpable parties had created. Ditz.
This is what passes for an apology in her world
Folks. Please don't misunderstand me. Dear friends/family of mine are veterans. I was repeating a concern vocalized to me lately. That's it.

Brooke, you’re a twit. Don’t misunderstand me. That’s just a concern vocalized to me lately.
Some Twitter updates;
I am sorry for what I said earlier about veterans. It was wrong and I apologize to anyone who was hurt by my comments.

And she has a valor thief to defend her;
.@BrookeBCNN's been a friend to vets always–and covered our issues when few others would. Enough already. Let's move on to real problems.

To my veteran friends: please tune into #CNN in a few minutes. I wanted to come on tv first thing today. I owe you a heartfelt apology.

Sadly this is what is considered journalistic integrity these days. Vapid, poorly thought out proclamations by talking heads hired for their looks and not their integrity or strength of intellect. The militarization of the police forces around the nation has been happening for at least 25 years, much of it during the Clinton Administration. Perhaps Ms. Baldwin missed the history class where they explained what happened under Clinton at Waco and Ruby Ridge. The vets I know on my local police force are the LEOs I would prefer to encounter, some of the others are a little sketchy to be kind. But that’s just me and my personal opinion. Training already covers situations where you have a gravely injured perpetrator unable to move his legs. Additional training or context is ludicrous. When you drop to your knees on a man’s neck and then lift him and notice he can’t move his legs you’ve fucked up on rather a large scale. Throwing him in the back of a vehicle without securing him means you either already know he’s dead or you hope he dies so there’s not an alternate version of the lies you intend to tell afterwards. There are 2800 police officers in Baltimore, 50 are suspended without pay currently while being investigated for malfeasance. That’s less than 2%. It’s quite clear Ms. Baldwin if you took three minutes out of your very busy day making idiotic proclamations and did even the smallest amount of research you would already know that 98.3% of the Baltimore PD isn’t being investigated for malfeasance of any kind. Then you could more appropriately ascribe the actions of those involved with Mr. Gray’s arrest are among the 2% or so of shitbags soon to be released from police service as they should be. Whether or not they should be prosecuted remains to be seen. The more appropriate criticism should be regarding a city that takes too long to reveal the results of these issues and the simple fact there have been far too many of these incidents usually conducted by the same small group of… Read more »
I spent about 12 seconds of my life, which I will never get back, watching the video of her on-the-street interview and then my brain started cramping.
1 – A machine gun delivery is not appropriate for a medium like television. I could hardly understand anything she said.
2 – She obviously had her own agenda (I really just don’t like vets, so I’ll lie) and the man she was interviewing ignored it and talked about the police, not vets. Putting your own agenda into it marks you as not a journalist, but rather as a propaganda machine.
3 – She’s a bimbo. She won’t last. She’s made one big ass mistake and she’ll make more before she’s shown the front door.
4 – Who the hell watches CNN, anyway?
This was first aired on CNN April 24, 2015. On that day, veterans were good. They returned home from war and combat, and walked kids to/from school in one of America’s most violent (Democrat) neighborhoods. Imagine that.

“but some of them are coming back from war, they don’t know the communities, and they are ready to do battle.” I’m surprised that Baldwin knew that! Most civilians are unaware that war veterans are required to spend their first three months post discharge in communities new to them and that all must attend directed-anger (a/k/a Kill Sessions) counseling during out processing.
Really? ‘Cause I didn’t do that, AirCav. I just put my uniforms away in my footlocker with some mothballs, and went off to my classes in skirts and blouses.
CNN-
The airing of “Operation Tailwind” in 1998.
The showing of dead americans dragged through the streets of Somalia while family members watched (no pixilation of the faces).
Showing U.S Serviceman getting “sniped” (akin to a “snuff film” for the Taliban.
THEY HAVE AN AGENDA that runs so deep it is sickening.
“The showing of dead americans dragged through the streets of Somalia while family members watched (no pixilation of the faces).”
Sorry, wasn’t CNN- only shown on ‘Nightline’ (ABC).
“To my veteran friends: please tune into #CNN in a few minutes. I wanted to come on tv first thing today. I owe you a heartfelt apology.” No and f— you, Baldwin.
No problem, since the only friends she has already support her. The rest of us are the folks she insulted and are due an apology. We probably shouldn’t hold our breath while we wait for it.
Paul Reickoff. What a shitbag.
This bitch should be fired.
A new low achieved by one of the member of the “fourth estate”… CNN’s own Brooke “bimbo’ Baldwin reporting on the relationship between veterans and society’s ills.
Open mouth, insert foot… ditz
What a dingbat! We can say dingbat, can’t we?
The Clinton News Network continues its liberal and moronic ways…
I second the motion to assigning Ms. Baldwin to spring break reporting duties or narrating episodes of “Girls Gone Wild!”
Let me edit her apology tweet so she can understand how rediculous is really is, my edit is in caps….
Folks. Please don’t misunderstand me. Dear friends/family of mine are BLACK. I was repeating a concern vocalized to me lately. That’s it.

Actually, I’d say they are rioting because of the Media, but that’s just me…
Hey, Brookie, here’s an idea for you – since you are clueless and have already proven that, how’s about just shutting your pie hole? You are ignorant because you want to be that way. We got that. Believe it or not, you really don’t need to keep proving it to any of us.
The attention whore apparently has a serious mental defect which drives her to pretend that she wants us to like her, as she insults us. Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. I don’t like her, and have no obligation to ever like her no matter what she does with the rest of her life.
Whatever.
Yes, she’s qualified to say this because a degree in journalism, should she actually have one, is EXACTLY THE SAME as an advanced degree in psychology and she knows PRECISELY what returning vets think and feel……..
She has apologized, it seemed sincere and I am moving on. Too much other shit to spin me up, just cannot stay angry about this. Hopefully she has learned her lesson and will be a little more circumspect before she opens her pie hole in the future.
This. I’ll move on and hopefully never see her or hear her name ever again. I sure as hell won’t be watching CNN.
She’s a *twit*! She can go suck start a Mac truck for all I care.
I’d rather she suck-start an M240B instead!!
Brooke Baldwin is not only a ditz .. but, also a full out Mental Amoeba!
