It looks like they are beating Cops to death in the streets of Baltimore.

The city has paid about $5.7 million since 2011 over lawsuits claiming that police officers brazenly beat up alleged suspects. One hidden cost: The perception that officers are violent can poison the relationship between residents and police.

You know what else poisons the relationship between residents and police? Not obeying the fucking law.

 

[MarAzul]

Not obeying the fucking law.

That sir, is truly eloquent.

I love Baltimore, but it has some of the toughest neighborhoods I've ever seen. I assume these protests are occurring in West Baltimore.

Burning down one's own neighborhood is the worst kind of nihilism. Ask yourself, how hopeless must you be to do such a thing?

The people doing it cain't reed wut you'all rote thar.

They're not hopeless. They're just plain stupid.

Well marzy, while no one condones looting, on the other hand one can understand the pent-up feelings that may result from decades of repression and people who've had members of their family killed by that regime, for them to be taking their feelings out on that regime.

This is an old article about Paris Texas.

And then there is the case that most troubles Cherry and leaders of theTexas NAACP, involving a 14-year-old black freshman, Shaquanda Cotton, who shoved a hall monitor at Paris High School in a dispute over entering the building before the school day had officially begun.

The youth had no prior arrest record, and the hall monitor--a 58-year-old teacher's aide--was not seriously injured. But Shaquanda was tried in March 2006 in the town's juvenile court, convicted of "assault on a public servant"and sentenced by Lamar County Judge Chuck Superville to prison for up to 7years, until she turns 21.

Just three months earlier, Superville sentenced a 14-year-old white girl, convicted of arson for burning down her family's house, to probation.

...

There was the 19-year-old white man, convicted last July of criminally negligent homicide for killing a 54-year-old black woman and her 3-year-old grandson with his truck, who was sentenced in Paris to probation and required to send an annual Christmas card to the victims' family.

while no one condones looting

Apparently the Mayor did. I guess people will not believe the cops when they say, they were ordered not to interfere with the looting and burning, but the results speak the truth. The cops watched, no one was arrested. I don't know if they know it, they they ain't going to like living in the new Mad Max world.

Hey! Justice is on the march, Six cops held on charges, serious charges even though the evidence seems weak. That's Justice baby. Those fuckers have been slapped down too, suspended without pay. Fuck um if they can't make their mortgage payment, it's the new Justice system! No fucking Grand juries, do it Now! This is political correct, for the sweet young black DA and Mayor, screw the process, the cops have to pay. They had Al Sharpton and Malik Shabazz in there advising them and it shows.

A paddy wagon driver gets an arrest loaded into the back, and the bugger dies! Then the driver is charged with murder and suspended without pay, waiting for god knows how long, for trial? Who the hell would take that job? This new Justice is absolutely ridiculous! While police policies and rules of how to engage need to be changed, this new justice of crucifying cops doesn't do anything to change policies but it is a step forward toward the anarchy of Mad Max. If I were a cop in Baltimore, I'd quit for damn sure. But then I never wanted to be a cop period, don't know why anyone would after watching this fiasco play out.

 

[MarAzul]

They are also calling the arrest illegal. That was the DA that said it. Sound like they do not want drug dealers arrested so she charges the cops with a crime? What the fuck is that?
Should she not get the felony drug dealing crime removed from the statutes? Geez, talk about shooting the messenger. Why would a cop be a cop in such a system?
Let Mad Max begin!

 

[3RA1N1AC]

oh sorry marzy, that was direct quote from your buddy donald rumsfeld.

He also asserted the looting was not as bad as some television and newspaper reports have indicated and said there was no major crisis in Baghdad, the capital city, which lacks a central governing authority. The looting, he suggested, was "part of the price" for what the United States and Britain have called the liberation of Iraq.

The cops were first claiming the guy intentionally snapped his own spin.

Do you have a link to that claim? I have not seen this claim. I did hear that another guy in the paddy wagon said he thought the guy was intentionally trying to hurt himself, then later he recanted.
Funny the recant came just before they charged the cops. Weird no?

Anyway, was it a cop that said he intentional snapped his own spin? Link please.

WTF has Baghdad or rumsfeld to do with Baltimore? Well other than Baltimore may indeed become like Baghdad. I sure hope not, Mad Max it was.

Yes, this statement is what I heard. "The Washington Post has obtained a police documentthat states another prisoner in the van that transportedFreddie Gray after his arrest heard Gray “banging against the walls” of the car and suggested that Gray “was intentionally trying to injure himself.”

He tells WJZ he’s angry about an internal police report published in The Washington Post.

“And they trying to make it seem like I told them that, I made it like Freddie Gray did that to hisself (sic),” Allen said. “Why the [expletive] would he do that to hisself (sic)?”

 

[MarAzul]

Yes, I heard he recanted on what he said earlier. That also came from the police right after the officers were charged with crimes.

This article makes me sick. The worst two things are the scummy looking redneck from Deliverance in the protest and the court ordering a Christmas card being sent to the family by a guy who gets probation for killing some of them.

7 years for pushing a hall monitor??? Fuck that.

This is an old article about Paris Texas.

And then there is the case that most troubles Cherry and leaders of theTexas NAACP, involving a 14-year-old black freshman, Shaquanda Cotton, who shoved a hall monitor at Paris High School in a dispute over entering the building before the school day had officially begun.

An 18-year-old man who attacked a Balitmore police car with an orange traffic cone faces a higher bail than the cop who allegedly murdered Freddie Gray.

Allen Bullock, who rioted in Baltimore on Saturday over the death of 25-year-old Gray, turned himself into police on Thursday after his stepfather warned that the police would track him down and “beat him.” He is charged with eight misdemeanors and his bail was set at $500,000, according to The Guardian. Bullock's family now regrets telling him to turn himself in.

On Friday, Baltimore’s chief prosecutor, Marilyn Mosby, charged six cops in the death of Gray after the state's medical examiner ruled Gray's death a homicide. Mosby said that the officers had no grounds to arrest Gray, never seatbelted him in the police van, and repeatedly ignored his pleas for medical help. At times, Mosby said, the officers left Gray face down in the vehicle with his hands tied behind his back. Gray's spine was 80 percent severed at his neck, and he died in the hospital a week later.

The officers faced an array of charges, including assault, false imprisonment, and misconduct in office. Officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr, the driver of the police van, faces the most serious charges, including second degree murder charges. His bail was set at $350,000,according to The Baltimore Sun’s Jessie Fenton.
