In Baltimore. The animals demand vengence and must be appeased.

No justice no peace!

goddamnit, where's that rascal shawpton when we need him?

Playing bodyguard for the mayor and trying to prevent embarrassing questions.

Sharpton can't have the cops found guilty.
Al survives on conflict and hate..

[johnforbes]

Some of the charges seem to stem from the racial animus of the prosecutor.

Second degree murder?

Come on, that'll fly only if that have an all-black inner city jury.

[RealJustme]

The charges will never fly, the Grey's attorneys helped draft the charges and the State Attorney sign them. It's come out that the State Attorney and Grey's lead attorney are an "item" in fact he gave $5K to help her get elected and was on her election committee. Major conflict of interest, especially in a murder case, since she didn't recuse herself a higher court will have to remove her the case. Pass the popcorn, loving, especially when it's shown the charges were nothing but racist in nature and politically motivated. This may be the tipping point for negroes getting away with murder.

It's finally refreshing to see a DA who isn't some badge bunny. The cops are so paranoid of this woman,that they are asking for a special prosecutor.

The coroner ruled the death a homicide, police making a false arrest without probable cause, no grand jury! The prosecutors must have a solid case...

[sillydaddy]

The different charges leveled are such that they will guaranteed not guilty verdicts.

The most serious charge of murder is leveled against the van driver....

a second year law student can win that case.

Elkindoofus, this is going to be well beyond your limited intellectual abilities but try to understand. All murders are homicides, but not all homicides are murders. Homicide really just means the death of a human being. This isn't really even a subtle difference, but it will confuse you anyway. The coroner ruling a death to be a homicide isn't an indictment of anyone.

The different charges leveled are such that they will guaranteed not guilty verdicts.

I feel this will be the turning point in citizens bending over backwards to be PC to the point of saying enough, is enough. This was nothing more than black racists given positions that they abused. This was a wake up call.

"Homicide really just means the death of a human being."-Insipid

Wrong you are again, oh Great Dimwitted One.
Homicide is not merely "the death of a human being."
Homicide is the killing of one person by another.

Getting killed by a falling rock is not a homicide unless someone dropped it on you.
But even then the homicide is not necessarily "murder".
It could be "manslaughter" or "justifiable", for example.

If the Medical Examiner says it's a homicide, that means it wasn't a suicide or an accident where another person wasn't involved, like you're desperately hoping it was.
Someone else killed him.

[johnforbes]

Apparently the attorney for Gray (and I guess he needed one with 20 arrests) gave campaign donations to the prosecutor.

Also, cops are leaking that the mayor knows very well some of the more serious charges are baseless, but she favors them anyhow for political reasons.

Although we all agree a person should not die in an arrest, some of the charges seem ludicrous.

[RealJustme]

The prosecutor and the mayor are setting their sights too high. Both are attorneys and know, no way in hell are those charge going to stick plus it's came out the DOJ helped them draft the charges. In in the wake of the Rodney King Police trial who were all found not guilty, this could make South Central L.A. look like a bar room brawl. Somehow, I can't help but to think that's part of the plan. Black leaders from Obama on down want a race war and with them in control of DOJ and the military they figure they can't lose.

[johnforbes]

This is classic Saul Alinsky -- dividing on the basis of race.

Lynch wouldn't have gotten the job at DoJ if she didn't satisfy Obama that she would favor her race as Holder did.

Imagine if you were a Balto cop. Wouldn't you just fail to arrest people and sort of semi-retire on the job knowing that the mayor and the prosecutor are just looking at race alone?
