Here's the six Baltimore Officers who're being charged.

Seeing that the Baltimore cops lied about the kind of knife Freddie had on him chances are 99.9999999999999999999% that they lied about his other arrests. While there are a few crooks, such as Charles Manson and Bernie Madoff, who deserve to be in prison a large percentage of people are in prison because the cops framed them. Some innocent people are finally getting out after losing most of their lives locked up because crooked cops and DAs framed them and lab techs made up evidence against them.

 

What percentage of people in prison do you think are framed?

 

Are you suggesting that Gray was something other than human? Please elaborate on this for us? He did not deserve Human rights? Is that what you are getting at? From what I understand, Gray was an American Citizen and therefore protected under at least the bill of rights. Do you not agree?

 

Freddy Gray if you believe the "Rough ride" narrative. Hot damn can you even follow the topic?

 

It's absurd! These guys are not guilty. They just did their work right! And the only man who was guilty in Gray's death - is Freddy Gray! After such injuries person should seat at home, or in hospital, not running from police and writing rap about his crimes!

 

we know the knife was NOT a switch blade, so he was falsely arrested and died while in custody, thus a victim no matter how you look at it

and also looking at his arrest record he was also a victim of the war on drugs

.

 

The law against switchblade knives in Maryland is poorly written and doesn't take into account newer type spring assist opening knives. It can be interpreted anyway. I doubt these officers will be faulted for making the arrest.

It hasn't been proven the cops lied about anything yet.

 

he did not have a switch blade, he was falsely arrested

normally without protests the cops would never be called out on something like this, they would release their "he had a switchbalde" leak and that would be the end of it

many cops are and have been abusing their public trust..... the war on drugs is a big part of the problem imo, it creates bad cops and worse criminals


.

 

I agree they screwed up on identifying the knife as spring assisted/switchblade.

Which is irrelevant considering evading and resisting charges that should also be included in the charges though I've yet to hear those charges ever being filed, which I find odd.

He chose to run so it's on him from the beginning.

People are arrested everyday and the charges reversed or dropped later in the process.

For instance being charged with possession of a dangerous drug that is later shown to belong to you legally via legitimate prescription.

What do second degree assault, escape and illegal gambling have to do with the war on drugs.

My understanding is the reason his list of offenses is so long is because most of his drug charges were misdemeanors.

Misdemeanors that gave him ample opportunity to turn his life around via programs available to just such offenders to help them get on the right track in life.

He chose his own path and gets no sympathy from me as a career criminal.

Once this goes to trial and all the evidence is on the table, than I will decide whether or not there was a "murder" or not, and if these officers are guilty of rough riding him to death I've no problem with them being punished to the maximum extent the law will allow.

But still no sympathy for a career criminal that was given multiple opportunities to become a functional member of society and just chose to ignore those opportunities.

The only 'war' Freddie fought was against himself and he wasn't drafted but re enlisted for multiple tours.

 

The war on drugs creates opportunities for folks to exit the "drug life" via rehabs, educational and work programs, hence the long list of misdemeanors as opposed to felonies that lead only to prison.

Bad cops exist regardless of the war on drugs, you will find bad apples in any basket.

 

it shows that prohibition laws are the gateway to crime for many..... look at his record, how many times was he harassed for prohibition laws before any real crime was ever committed

- - - Updated - - -

when you create a rap sheet like that, you ruin someones life and they turn to crime, that is exactly what we saw happen here

when cops constantly have to harass people over dumb laws like this, you get uncaring and sometimes criminal cops as a result

.

 

Freddie created that criminal history by not taking advantage of the systems after his 1st offense.

The cops will continue to enforce the laws on the books.

To change laws you petition legislators, even to the point of decades of hounding them, not by attacking cops that don't write the laws.

 

never said they did, I said the laws are creating bad cops and creating criminals..... that means we need to change the bad laws

I am speaking out where ever I can on this, public protests whether online or on the street let the country know how others feel and is one of the ways change happens

now if we can get the young to vote, maybe change will happen, I like the fact that we are seeing more and more of the young in this country get involved in the process

.

 

Most parents agree with you. If a drug dealer with 12+ prior convictions like Freddie starts creeping around my kid's school I sure hope they come and beat him. It saves me as a parent from having to do it.

 

so if your kid is doing drugs its not your kids fault, its the dealers fault?

 

When I'm around, sure it is my fault. If my kid is in school, and a dealer is targeting him there because he knows I'm not around, well he should watch himself. Just saying.

 

so what about when your kid goes out after school and takes drugs, is that the dealers fault?

 

Very good. Now where does it say that a justifiable stop involves shooting a fleeing 'suspect' in the back because you're pissed-off that he's making you run after him?

 

The big question then becomes....who decides which laws are bad?

You are very adamant in your distaste for the "war on drugs".
What would you change in the way of drug laws?

I've no problem with reefer and booze I enjoy both now and then when I get out...not near often enough but busy busy blah blah blah lol

I don't feel the same about cocaine meth heroin and the like.
Prescription drugs I need daily but i have legitimate need and prescription for, but making some prescription drugs I'd not soon feel comfy making them OTC.


Also agree on voting...as a citizen it's the strongest tool in the shed.

 

The cops are regular killers and as such they need to be thrown into prison. If they go free then there's zero justification for ever convicting anyone else of any "crimes" they are charged with.

 

How do you know they are regular killers?

 

I believe that is murder. Unless a citizen is in direct threat by this suspect, or an officer, I believe that is murder.

 

As time goes by, We will see more of this. Each city like Ferguson, Baltimore, shows us ALL where all the racist
people are at. This way we know where they live. Notice that it's always in the lefty run cities.


....

 

Have you been arrested? I'm thinking yes and maybe had your head thumped for mouthing off. How do I know this!!

 

They will never see those sentences, at least most will not. There was the typical overcharging, which leads to plea bargain. But yes, unless they are completely exonerated, their careers are over.
