Racism in Baltimore - a pictorial

 
 
 
I really think the police brutality is aimed at the poor, not just any particular race.

Blacks are more likely to be poor because of racism and decreased opportunity, and the fact that as a whole they are climbing from a recent past of slavery and legal racial discrimination, and THEN they are more likely to be brutalized by the police because they are poor.

This is America. The poor don't count. You won't hear the Republican presidential candidates talking about the needs of the poor and how to help the poor. The Democrats won't talk about it much either. They will just call them lazy and greedy and corrupt. Amazing projection.

America is a nation divided by race, but it is a nation more divided by class.
 
My favorite part of this argument about a man who was allegedly killed by police actions while in police custody by the more right-wing of the group is the complaint that racism had a hand in the actions that killed the person. Not a peep out of them about the police being responsible for a man's death.
 
I think it's cute the way he shows a picture of the victim in the hands of 3 white police officers, and then circles the faces of the three black officers. Two of whose contributions to the event did not involve touching the victim at all. Where the illegal arrest of this man was performed by the three white cops. But hey, who cares about accuracy, right?
 
No racism in the OP. Nope.
And CVS is totally a Black owned business. Whitey cannot buy stocks in the company.

The only thing missing in that horrible graphic is Al Sharpton.

Actually we have discussed this and the arrest most likely wasn't illegal. The officers were entitled to chase, stop and search and the knife was most likely illegal - and even if it were legal you would have to prove the arresting officers knew that at the time of the arrest.

Also, it's bullshit to frame the discussion of Freddy Grey's death as "racism" when half the cops charged (including the cop facing most serious charge) are black and the police department and the city are run by a black man and woman respectively. But I guess anything for the lefty favorite argument du jour no matter how poorly it fits I guess.

Good because that would make the killing justifiable.

Addressing an earlier [comment], the death was not "a killing." It was accidental suicide. He banged his head against the wall of the truck, just
one week after neck surgery of a very serious nature. His doctor had ordered him to recover in bed.

I have been called "racist" for decades now by the race-baiting, condescending left. My best rebuttal to the class warfare leftists is to tell them my best man was black.
What color was your best man, or maid of honor?

Lawsplain? Cute.
In case you haven't followed the case at all, the arresting (bike) officers were not part of the events after the arrest and as such they would only be culpable if there was criminal activity during the arrest itself. They cannot be held accountable for anything that may have happened after their involvement ended.

CNN said:
In documents filed on behalf of Officers Garrett Miller and Edward Nero, attorneys argue that a "careful inspection of the knife recovered from Mr. Gray will reveal specific characteristics of the knife which will reveal that the knife was not lawful under Maryland law."

Miller and Nero have each been charged with two counts of second-degree assault, two counts of misconduct in office and one count of false imprisonment.

The charges stem from the fact that Mosby believes Gray's arrest was unlawful, based on the type of knife he had.

If the arrest was, in fact, lawful -- meaning that Gray's knife was illegal -- then Miller and Nero did not do anything wrong, according to documents filed by their attorneys.

Was Freddie Gray's knife legal?

But cops can still execute a suspect for a minor offense correct?

I see you have not paid attention at all to what I wrote, but are just following a script like a telemarketer or a Jehovah's Witness.

Once again, slowly.
1. The two arresting officers were only involved with chase and arrest of the suspect. As such they were not charged with anything that may have happened in the van, including Grey's death. Their actual charges are still highly questionable as she has to prove that not only the knife found on Grey was legal but that the officers did not act in good faith when they arrested him.
2. The remaining four officers did not "execute" anybody. An execution implies intent and not even Mosby is alleging intent.

And you have the evidence for this?

Please post his doctor's statement or orders. Please list the name of his doctor and the date and time of his surgery. Please post the statement that was made by the prisoner in the other half of the van that was interviewed by the police although said person denies being interviewed, giving a contradictory story, and somehow said interview was never recorded or written down for some extremely strange reason.

Please produce the evidence.

Not that it is any of your business, but I have chosen to remain a bachelor. Better dead than wed. Now what does this have to do with the price of tea in China?

So what does that have to do with the other officers?

But you said they are innocent of killing of Freddie BECAUSE the arrest may have been legal. That would imply police can "accidentally suicide" a person if they wish without consequences.

Nothing. I said that the arresting officers were not guilty of any wrongdoing if the arrest itself was legal (knife either illegal or legal but officers still acted in good faith) because their involvement ended at the arrest itself. And if two out of six suspects can be exonerated outright it would not do Mosby's reputation any favors and may damage the case against the others. That's why prosecutors should not rush into filing charges, not even to appease thugs and rioters.

In my original response to Rhea I said "arresting officers". Please do read carefully before flying off the handle next time, ok.

Would love a source for this, all three points.

- he banged his own head against the van wall
- had neck surgery
- had neck surgery a week before the incident

Or is this the same source that claimed Officer Wilson had suffered a broken orbital bone?

That's a rebuttal?
You can't be racist because a black man was in your wedding party?

One of the most racist men I've ever known had an interracial marriage. His wife was white.
