So we are gonna ignore the riot thats happening in Baltimore

Yeah but they were hoping he'd flip on the others since they don't have any actual evidence of wrongdoing. Since the guy just took his case to trial and won, they've got nothing.

 

You're a complete joke. Yeah, you've got all the facts. Way more than what was shared in the trial. I mean, you've read a lot of internet articles on this!!1

 

It's outrageous and reminds me of the Houston, Texas I grew up in back in the day, when the police chief was openly a member of the KKK. Not that the current Police Chief in Baltimore fits that description, of course, but the lack of justice does, in my humble opinion.

Can't be very bullish in expecting a conviction at this point.

 

Shouldn't have ever been, there was VERY little evidence of wrongdoing and really they were just hoping that they could charge a ton of people and have one of them testify to create a case against one or several of the others. That didn't happen either because there was nothing to the allegations or because they knew they had nothing to go on and bet on them failing to get a conviction and it looks like they'll win.

 

This is incoherent babbling geezer-speak

My guess is that you aren't even following the legal cases, just babbling about "lack of justice" because you think it makes you look tolerant, which is probably all you really care about...

 

Third person to be acquitted.

[rQUOTEr]Baltimore police lieutenant acquitted in Freddie Gray death

A Maryland judge on Monday acquitted Baltimore police Lieutenant Brian Rice of involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office for the April 2015 death of black detainee Freddie Gray.

Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams handed down his verdict after a bench trial. Rice, 42, is the highest-ranking officer charged in Gray's death from a broken neck suffered in a police transport van.

Gray's death triggered protests and rioting in the mainly black city and stoked a national debate about how police treat minorities. The controversy flared anew this month with the deaths of African-American men at the hands of police in Minnesota and Louisiana.

Monday's verdict is the latest setback for prosecutors, who have failed to secure a conviction in the trials of four officers thus far.

Rice, who is white, ordered two officers on bicycle to chase Gray, 25, when he fled unprovoked in a high-crime area.

Prosecutors said Rice was negligent in shackling Gray's legs and not securing him in a seat belt, as required by department protocol.

But defense lawyers said Rice was allowed leeway on whether to get inside a van to secure a prisoner. The officer made a correct decision in a few seconds while Gray was being combative and a hostile crowd was looking on, they said.

Williams, who heard the case without a jury at Rice's request, said prosecutors failed to show the lieutenant was aware of a departmental policy requiring seat belts for prisoners during transport.

"The state did not prove the defendant was aware of the new policy," the judge said in court.

Only a handful of protesters were at the courthouse for the verdict's announcement.

Williams previously acquitted Officers Edward Nero and Caesar Goodson Jr., the van's driver. A third officer, William Porter, faces a retrial after a jury deadlocked.[/rQUOTEr]

 

BLM's narrative gets weaker by the day.

 

There's no way they can continue this, right? Hard to imagine any new evidence coming in at this point.

 

Bunch of horshe****.

The prosecution wanted the judge to presume Rice had read a general order mandating that officers seat belt prisoners, Williams said, but failed to prove it. There was also no evidence that Rice was aware that failing to seat belt a prisoner might result in injury or death, the judge said.


This must be the stupidest judge alive. No evidence Rice was aware that failing to seat belt a passenger might result in injury or death. LoL. Does Rice have the IQ of an apricot and if so why is he a cop? Is the bar that low? One of the stupidest things I've read in a long time. Thank you rigged justice.

 

They should really go after this prosecutor for this whole mess. She should have never brought these charges in the first place with no evidence whatsoever. This was always a witch hunt that was hoping that one of them would admit to being a witch and would roll over on others and accuse them as well. She needs to never be in a position of power like this again.

 

No evidence but the dead body in their custody and the homicide finding of the coroner. Derp.

 

The finding of the coroner is irrelevant, you need some kind of actual evidence that someone was at fault, there was no actual evidence of that. We know that he fell down and hit his head, we don't know if he did it intentionally or if the driver was trying to hurt him. We don't know if not strapping him in was just an oversight or if it was malicious. Basically we don't know anything yet but this prosecutor decided to overcharge the hell out of a ton of people in the hopes that someone would gift her a case against someone, anyone. It was irresponsible and IMO a violation of prosecutorial ethics.

Yet another BLM narrative that turns out to be completely false.


NO CRED

 

The arrested human being has come back to life?! It's a summer miracle!

Not to doubt this glorious news, but... link?

 

The finding of the coroner is irrelevant. Heh Yep, whether it's a homicide or not is completely irrelevant. Bobby logic.

We don't know if the guy fell down, hit his head, and killed himself intentionally in the custody of police or if the police officers weren't aware that not wearing a seat belt could result in injury or death. That's AWESOME. Nice job Bobs.

Prosecuting a bunch of punk ass cops for the death of a person in their custody is irresponsible but the punk ass cops responsible for the death of a person in their custody just weren't sure whether wearing a seat belt could result in injury or death and welp, there you have it. Your rigged justice system in action.

 

A black guy is killed and all the officers are going to acquitted. Did he just die by himself? If none of the officers are at fault why did the city pay millions of dollars to his family?

 

[Educational Post]
Sizzle Chest, the issue at hand is not whether Freddie Gray is dead or alive. At this point, to quote your Presidential candidate, what difference does it make? The issue is whether he wrongfully died at the hands of the police. His police officers have received due process and have all been acquitted. Freddie Gray's cause of death was his life as a drug dealer and his very bad relationship with the police. Individual accountability has to be acknowledged at some point by these troubled, misguided youth.

 

Uh, he rightfully died at the hands of police? What? He was killed in the back of a police van because of his life as a drug dealer or because he wasn't wearing a seat belt? What?

What grade level educational post was that? Pre-k? Heh You're like so weak sauce now dude. What happened to you?
