The police murdered Baltimore resident Freddie gray in the back of a police van. He had a broken spinal cord and his death was ruled a homicide. A high ranking police officer was on trial but was acquitted of all charges, meaning no one held responsible for the homicide of Freddie Gray. It's funny how the cops are deemed in innocent by the judge, yet the city paid Gray's family 6.4 million. Perhaps that money was a deal to let the cops off with no charges? Ridiculous!
PIGS
Yeah, let's kill some cops today to avenge Freddie death. Is that what you want? Too many people obviously do.
I am not condoning violence against police officers but it is really inevitable when they are allowed to get away with misconduct and the system refuses to hold them accountable. The anger and frustration is going to boil over at some point.
Again, this is not to condone it, but when the system can't police itself, people are going to act outside of the system to hold it accountable.
Easy? How much easier can you get off than Scott free?
The cops involved ended Gray's life, then were put on paid vacation until their "trial."
Are people really surprised at the outcome(s) of these farce trials?
That's the real reason why people are going nuts and shooting cops. Not so much that cops kill citizens......it's that they are not held accountable for their actions.
Freddie Gray broke his own neck.That was the scurrilous fable an anonymous Baltimore Police Department source leaked to The Washington Post two Aprils ago, shortly after Gray died of spinal chord injuries incurred while in police custody. Four prosecutions later, it appears to be the official verdict of the justice system.
On Monday, Baltimore Police Lieutenant Brian Rice became the third of six indicted officers to be acquitted of all charges related to Gray’s death. A fourth, William Porter, is currently awaiting retrial, following a hung jury decision last December, and proceedings are set to commence against the final two officers. But there is little reason to believe that the outcomes will be any different.
As has been the case throughout the proceedings, Judge Barry G. Williams, a black man whose record as a federal prosecutor includes successful convictions against abusive cops, seems to have adhered to high, if demanding, legal standards in determining Rice’s acquittal. But whatever the minutiae of the trials themselves—whatever errors the prosecution might have made, whatever the relevant statutes in play—the message being conveyed is clear: If Gray’s death was a crime, it was a crime without a perpetrator. For all intents and purposes, he might as well have killed himself.
The judge ruled that no one was murdered and there was no homicide.

This being the third time nobody is being held accountable. The city already paid the Gray family MILLIONS but nobody is to blame.
The people happy about the verdict will be the same outraged the next time a cop is shot where he stands.
You titled this tread wrong. I fixed it for you.
I would love to see monkeys like you put the uniform on. We put the uniform on you, throw you in a PD car and dispatch cracks. Respond on women calling, two MB adults climbing ladder to her roof in back ally. All units are busy advise if need. I would love to see your face when all that you think, believe and have been told explodes into your face with such extreme speed and monstrous violence. If you have any balls at all go get on with a P.D. Your entire mindset will be in shock. You have no idea what reality is, if you think I'm wrong go move your butt get on with a P.D. and go be gentle and sweet with those two guys on your first call. They see you coming in, they know your a little idiot who can't be mean to them. Go venture up that alley as Richard Prior said. The real world is waiting for you on your first call, you got 18 more calls just like it holding for your next 8 hours.
It is because the prosecutor sucks. She didn't have any good evidence to prove that they broke the law.

Well, let's see what the judge has to say when someone decides to avenge Freddie Gray's death by shooting a cop. That's not the right thing to do, but in the current climate, it would not surprise me if it happened.

It's also inevitable that people are going to get away with misconduct. The police system isn't perfect but it's pretty good, and a much tougher job than most of the anti-police losers have.

Thugs lives DON'T MATTER.
African-American men are monkeys in the country they built. A real shame.
I find it interesting that the OP starts with the assumption that Freddie Gray was murdered, and then when 12 people look at the evidence (over and over again), and don't find that a murder took place, it's because there was some sort of conspiracy on the part of the "perpetrators."
Perhaps we should start with evidence and facts and let that guide our opinions. I'm guessing that doesn't fit the narrative though....
Only one cop was charged with murder and it was "depraved heart murder".
The others were charged with manslaughter.
Gray was a career criminal, and had a history of "crash for cash" schemes and trying to hurt himself in police custody. I don't know what happened in the back of that van, or if Gray was injured prior to being apprehended.
There was never enough evidence to convict anyone. You would need a video camera inside the van. Guess what's happening now? The Baltimore PD is spending nearly 100k to install video cameras inside their vans.
The only reason these cops were ever charged was to appease the citizens of Baltimore who were literally burning their city to the ground.

What action did this Lieutenant engage in? Was he anywhere near the scene of any of this? There was zero chance of ever getting him because he, uh, you know...wasn't in any way involved. Yet, this buffoon prosecutor doesn't go with just low hanging fruit (where there was also little to no evidence), no she aims for the moon. Sadly for her, she is trying to get there in a cardboard rocket from hobby lobby. She should be disbarred, imo.
And, there is a huge difference between civil and criminal liability and they settled, unwisely, imo, there was no trial.
And people realize that the judge is not just acquitting these guys, he is saying eff no, not just no to the state. He has ridiculed the cases.

That's a typical excuse from the cops.
"He rammed our car into himself, obviously had a death wish."
"He caused us to keep tasing him and beating him with our nightsticks."
