    Part of the problem is that most people who work as cops or prison guards in Baltimore are from Baltimore. If you get your police force and prison guards from a really corrupt, violent part of the country, they are probably going to be corrupt and violent too. That's just how it goes.

    Austin, Texas. I don't usually read a lot about criminal corruption outside of your mafia inspired movies or crime dramas like the Wire so it's a bit eye opening.

    Why are you stuck on murder? Racism and discrimination just doesn't mean murder - but certainly when you have that level of bias it can create the atmosphere as we have seen in cases.

    I guess at this point it's not surprising when you fail to follow a conversation, so I'll just repost it for you so you can get one more attempt at following along before I break out the crayons.

    He was arrested by two white cops, driven by two blacks cops, and was denied medical treatment by a black officer.

    Racism. Gotcha.

    Again, you have ignored the elephant in the room. Was Freddie Gray Google material? Oracle? Maybe he would have fit in at InfoSys.

    Lol. Racism.

    Things I've learned in this thread:

    1) Black people cannot be part of a racist workplace that discriminates against POC

    2) Black people cannot be racist.

    3) Apparently President Obama hates all white people, even the ones that are his blood relatives.

    Very interesting indeed.

    Also learned that is completely acceptable to hold approximately 500 million people responsible for the actions of 2 men as long as their ancestors came from the same continent....even if that continent is the 2nd most populated one on the planet.

    Geez.
    I asked two of you libtards a simple question.
    "Was there any amount of justification for 2 blacks killing 8 cops."

    And y'all can't answer the question.

    Amazing!!!

    Do you understand what it means for a police department to be racist? I think this is part of the problem.

    It is hard to take the DOJ seriously. While Loretta Lynch is slightly better than Holder that is not saying much. Holder was the worst AG in history. Lynch is only slightly better.

    Fortunately in this country, your economic status or race isn't a pretext for denying someone their civil rights. So your argument is stupid and pointless.

    So you are saying that the Baltimore police are fine and the report is a lie?

    The Baltimore police are a product of Baltimore just like the criminals of that city. No one is saying they don't have problems but we all know the ONLY reason for the report was in order to save face after all of the Freddie Gray nonsense turned up to be for nothing. They did a similar report in Furguson after it turned out that all of the Micheal Brown nonsense was baseless. It's just what this administration uses their DOJ for.

    Texas has as many Prison Gangs that run the Narcotics enterprise if not more. In fact, I do fear the wild west in general. In Texas, it's all the criminal gangs in general that keep me from visiting.

    Yeah, I'm sure there is no inverse relationship between employment rate and incarceration rate. Besides, 42% unemployment is acceptable and the people of that community need to quit "whining" about their crap economic prospects. I imagine if they do that then Google will come by with job offers.:p

    It's a pretty peaceful state. I mean gangs are out there but it's not like they're on every street corner looking to rough up unsuspecting citizens.

    Yeah but it's perfectly in character for that poster to dictate his actions based on stereotypes.

    Page 38 of the DOJ report on Baltimore. Honestly thought it was a joke at first. A template for arrest paperwork already has race filled in. heh


    We found evidence that BPD supervisors have explicitly condoned trespassing arrests that
    do not meet constitutional standards, and evidence suggesting that trespassing enforcement is
    focused on public housing developments. A shift commander for one of BPD’s districts emailed a
    template for describing trespassing arrests to a sergeant and a patrol officer. The template provides
    a blueprint for arresting an individual standing on or near a public housing development who cannot
    give a “valid reason” for being there—a facially unconstitutional detention. Equally troubling is the
    fact that the template contains blanks to be filled in for details of the arrest, including the arrest data
    and location and the suspect’s name and address, but does not include a prompt to fill in the race or
    gender of the arrestee. Rather, the words “black male” are automatically included in the description
    of the arrest.
    The supervisor’s template thus presumes that individuals arrested for trespassing will
    be African American.

    Truly shocking....I guess. Is that the best they came up with?

    The report is 164 pages. Why don't you take a break from being an a-hole on the internet and read it. You can post a line by line sarcastic rebuttal of the report with all the evidence you've collected.
