Baltimore police are going to trial

[sfreeman8]

Bicycle cops are charged with illegal stopping, other cops (plus 1 woman) are charged with refusing medical attention, and the van driver is charged with 2nd degree murder.

AG stated she heard their call for "No Justice, No Peace" and she acted on it.

I feel this is one-sided. She got the police report and the autopsy YESTERDAY. Even though she started an investigation on the 13th, she didn't have all the EVIDENCE. She couldn't have made the decision that quick.

This isn't over. One man on the street said if these cops aren't sent to jail, it's going to be just like Rodney King only worse. This type of attitude has to stop.

I agree. More investigating needs to happen. If the cops do go to trial, I wonder if it will be fair and unbiased.

This is all numbingly sad.  I still think the government is instigating these race riots. It keeps our minds off the things that they're doing in Washington. Does a good job, doesn't it?

Just a sign of the times building up to a tribulation never before to hit earth and if there wasnt chosen ones to be saved no flesh would survive as Jesus states in Gods word.

And then I heard that our community organizer in chief president's justice department will be looking into the civil rights violations in Baltimore... Umm... apparently he hasn't read the police report either. How can this be about race when some of the police being charged are black?! Was this a sad incident? Yes. Should the police be charged with neglectful / mistreatment of a prisoner? Yes. Should they be charged with intentional murder? No, not as the facts currently stand. Was Freddie targeted because he was black? No, there has been absolutely nothing to indicate that race played any role in his arrest; had he not already have a long rap sheet and had he not ran as soon as he saw the police, he wouldn't have been arrested and placed into this situation.

I do find it very interesting that our president's prior experience is in "community organizing" as in organizing demonstrations (and perhaps if Malcolm X's approach was used, this would include riots). I'm glad our president is putting his experiences to good use.

The worse thing about this whole thing is those that attacked the police, burned and looted have been recognized as anarchists/paid protesters who go around the country creating these problems by inciting the "normal" people of the towns until they join in.

Al Sharpton was there and "protecting" the mayor from questions from the press, even going so far as a security guard pushing one reporter against the wall.

Malik Shabazz was there inciting the crowd in the "victory rally." Know who he is? He's the former national chairman of the New Black Panther Party.

The state Attorney General just happens to be married to a Baltimore councilman  who heard their cry for "no justice, no peace" and will give them justice. The mayor was on one of Obama's committees.

Unless there is a special prosecutor appointed and the trial moved out of Baltimore, those men and woman won't get a fair trial...if there's any at all. The charges are some I've never heard of and they sound like made up charges.
