All charges dropped for Freddies cops.

[Vox]

Freddy Grey ran from police, well, sorry, that was never probable cause in the first place. He had a knife, not even sure that the knife was illegal, neither were the cops.

Wrong on both counts.

The knife was indeed illegal.

Running from police is probable cause to detain and search.

 

[Vox]

Freddy died as a direct result of what we in Baltimore call a "Nickle" or a "rough ride."

LOL!

That's a theory.

Too bad it couldn't be proven.

As such (a theory that couldn't be proven) it has the same value as the contents of last week's garbage can.

:mrgreen:

 

[Vox]

Just out of curiosity, what did this case have to do with race, exactly?

Freddy was another in a long line of dead black men that made mistakes and got themselves both dead and a lot of headlines.

It's becoming a thing lately.

 

[Vox]

"we could try these cases 100 times and we would get the same result" said the prosecutor. Right, which is why bringing these cases to court was a dereliction of duty, it was professional malpractice.

And professional pandering to black voters.

Wrong on both counts.

You know this at the time of his arrest? That it was illegal? The laws for knives in Baltimore are complicated. Why arrest him, then? Why not just take the knife? Running from the police is probable cause? Not sure, maybe I missed that one.

 

[Vox]

The fabricated Black Lives Matter movement continues to fall on its face at every turn.

They sabotage their own efforts by choosing the wrong cases......and--people just don't like them.

They are more distrusted than Hillary Clinton.

I have no idea how he broke his neck, then. Oh, HE BROKE IT HIMSELF, that's right.

Because he was black? That makes no sense WHATSOEVER. Seriously, try harder. IT WAS NOT about race.

 

[Vox]

Yes, it was widely discussed. It was illegal under city law although it may not have violated state law.

You ask, why not just take the knife? Did the knife commit a crime?

No, Freddy did.

Yes, running from police is probable cause to stop and frisk.

If they were such bad cops, why didn't they just shoot him right at that point?

Answer: They were good cops doing a good job and he resisted arrest and got himself killed.

Another example of a man creating his own justice.

No justice, no peace? Well, he got justice and now he's got peace.

Lesson learned for others? Don't resist arrest.

And professional pandering to black voters.

Prosecutors need to learn to put their responsibilities to the law and justice above their political aspirations...and in this particular case also above indulging their emotions.



EDIT:
Q: Why have i read almost nothing in the press about the malpractice of this prosecutor?

A: The elite have each others backs.

 

[Vox]

Because he was black? That makes no sense WHATSOEVER. Seriously, try harder. IT WAS NOT about race.

Of course it makes sense.

If he'd been white we never would have heard about this.

If Trayvon Martin had been white you think we'd have heard about him?

Would the lynch mobs have formed immediately? Would Jesse and the good Rev. Al have showed up?

What does weather we have heard about it or not have to do with the case, itself?

 

[Vox]

You should read up on this incident. Study the videos.

His injury occurred when he resisted arrest. That's why you saw them carefully assisting him into the van.

 

[Vox]

What does weather we have heard about it or not have to do with the case, itself?

It proves race has something to do with it.

They would not have shot him, because they had no idea he had committed a crime. Oh, lord....

Baltimore • When police spotted Freddie Gray and he took off running through his Baltimore neighborhood, officers made a split-second decision to give chase, setting in motion his death and rioting in the streets.

Fleeing from police is not, by itself, illegal in America, and the U.S. Supreme Court has made clear that in safe neighborhoods, people not suspected of criminal activity can ignore a police officer who approaches them, even to the point of walking away.

But courts have set a different standard for places where street crime is common, ruling that police can chase, stop and frisk people if their location contributes to a suspicion of criminal activity.


This double standard is having a major impact as more black men die in encounters with police around the country. Many have been shot or tackled while trying to flee. The court rulings that justify police chases in high-crime areas where many African-Americans live are contributing to a dangerous divide between police and citizens, said Ezekiel Edwards, director of the Criminal Law Reform Project at the American Civil Liberties Union.

"Folks who are going to be the most intimidated or scared of the police are the same people in places where the Supreme Court has said, 'If you run from police, that's suspicion,' " he said.

Can you run from police? Courts apply double standard | The Salt Lake Tribune

They were not "good cops" they were bad cops who evaded punishment.

Not the case, only why some people heard about it.

 

[Mad Cabbie]

Complete crap. Where did you hear that Grey injured himself?

You talking about how the police twisted the testimony of the man they claimed said that he did?

 

[stg-44]

Holy cow

 

[jimbo]

As a police officer, if you arrest someone, you are responsible for their safety. This means that you cannot leave them in harms way. You are in charge of their safety and cannot, say leave them in a hot vehicle or deny them medical attention, etc. There was clear evidence of that here.

Then why no convictions?

 

[Vox]

They would not have shot him, because they had no idea he had committed a crime.

Of course they knew he had committed a crime WHEN THEY FOUND THE ILLEGAL KNIFE.

At that point, if they were bad cops, they could have shot him and used his knife as an excuse.......resisting arrest....with a knife.

But they were good cops, doing a good job (they could have ignored the running criminal and gone for donuts) and they did that good job and got an armed, well-known drug dealer off the street.

Charges? No, they should get commendations.

 

[Renae]

There was no such "evidence?" No, the cops walked because the system is rigged to protect police.

No, it's rigged to serve justice, not emotionally driven SJW bull****. Sorry

 

[Vox]

Complete crap. Where did you hear that Grey injured himself?

You talking about how the police twisted the testimony of the man they claimed said that he did?

I didn't say he injured himself.

I SAID: His injury occurred when he resisted arrest. That's why you saw them carefully assisting him into the van.

 

[Mad Cabbie]

Then why no convictions?

So O.J. was innocent too by that standard?

 

[Renae]

Complete crap. Where did you hear that Grey injured himself?

You talking about how the police twisted the testimony of the man they claimed said that he did?

Do you think Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown while his hands were up over his head?

 

[Mad Cabbie]

Of course they knew he had committed a crime WHEN THEY FOUND THE ILLEGAL KNIFE.

At that point, if they were bad cops, they could have shot him and used his knife as an excuse.......resisting arrest....with a knife.

They should be in prison.
