Baltimore Unrest

Sad

Easy now, the public doesn't know the details of the investigation.

Mosley: Gray was arrested illegally.

So 2 wrongs are better?

Im cool with questioning why her son was there to be slapped. I'm also cool with her removing him. She did something many others didnt.

But that makes her no hero, though. She's just doing what a parent should do. Let's not hand out gold medals and praise her on Oprah for doing what she is supposed to be doing.

State will file criminal charges against the officers.

After Ferguson, we should have expected nothing less.

 

[Burhead]

So only 3 officers charged.

 

[Gramps]

A host of charges placed against the officers involved, 2nd degree murder, manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, assault along with several other charges.

 

[Burhead]

I guess I heard wrong, all 6 are charged.

 

[n_huffhines]

State will file criminal charges against the officers.

WTF did I miss? Last I heard they were feeding us a story about Gray falling? How could there possibly be charges?

If nothing else, to appease the masses.

 

[Burhead]

Arrest warrants have already been issued.

 

[Burhead]

Biggest charge was 2nd degree murder. Also officers illegally arrested Gray.

 

[Bigurnge]

Didn't Gray have active warrants?

Didn't Gray have active warrants?

Had about 5 outstanding warrants.....right?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

:hi: This sounds like it will be a long drawn out trial.

When everyone is broke $5 makes you a rich man. in a society which is at the point it is, you have to point out these things. It is certainly not the ideal situation but it is a step in the right direction. and unless you start rewarding good action why would anyone follow her example?

 

[Bigurnge]

I was thinking he had active warrants which makes me wonder how do you illegally arrest someone with an active warrant?

 

[LouderVol]

hopefully those cops have already turned themselves in.

With more riots to follow regardless of the verdict. I never bought the story of the guy breaking his own neck. I think at least one officer will be doing serious jail time.

@meganspecia: Mosby recounting moments of #FreddieGray's arrest: "Officers failed to establish probable cause for Gray's arrest & illegally arrested Gray"

@meganspecia: At no point was #FreddieGray secured by a seatbelt in the wagon contrary to a BCPD order says Mosby.

@meganspecia: During one stop, 2 officers went back of van to check on status of gray’s condition. Gray asked for help & said he could not breath.

@meganspecia: Despite this, the van went to pick up another person, in a manner Mosby calls "negligent" since #FreddieGray needed medical attention

@meganspecia: The last time Gray was put into the back of the police van, officers "failed to restrain Gray in the wagon, for at least the 5th time."

@meganspecia: #FreddieGray's death a homicide: "result of injuries obtained while unrestrained in the backed the police van while in police custody."

I'm sure Al Sharpton will have a good answer to that.

From what I understand from the pc, he was arrested for carrying a switchblade. He did have a knife folded up on his body but it was not a switchblade or over 4" long, this it is being ruled as an illegal arrest.

They'll all get off....that's the way it is for cops when the truth comes out.

 

[Bigurnge]

I'm sure Al Sharpton will have a good answer to that.

So if you have warrants and run from cops that's not probable cause for arrest? Hopefully this sets precedence across the board.

Baltimore PD Union is defending the officers saying they weren't responsible for his death

He was not arrested based on any outstanding warrants. His arrest was for carrying an "illegal knife" which was actually legal under Maryland law.
