Orwell in Baltimore

As the Baltimore riots still continue, Oriole games are still vacant. Schools are closed. Police and National Guard roam the streets. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/29/us/baltimore-riots.html?_r=0

There has been some "intense" debate going on with these riots. Or in other words, This issue is completely confusing and slightly hard to understand. What's even worse is how the police are just using brute "power" instead of listening to the people. It's the word "power" that brings the famous George Orwell into the picture. Power just gives off such a negative connotation as it sounds like the Police are running everything that is going on. It just makes it hard for people around the world to understand really what is going on because people in Baltimore are saying the Police are using their power, but what even is power. Orwell would consider this word vague and somewhat confusing and meaningless. This isn't the only word we see that is confusing in the language of the article. For example, we have a quote from a police officer, Anthony Batts, who states that the, "citizens are safe" and that the curfew affect is, "working". But what defines working from not working? Orwell would answer that this use of words that may sound good, are completely useless and vague as it doesn't make sense and is just another fault in the English language. And while I know these riots happening in Baltimore are terrible and causing a lot of damage, I believe that the media is keeping the rest of the world blind from what is actually happening due to the language that occurrs in the English language. Overall I hope the Orioles can soon get some fans and this thing gets all situated in Baltimore. Also don't forget to hit up my poll in the bottom right corner of my home page! And Go Pacquiao!
