Baltimore PD officers charged with manslaughter, assault, and murder of Freddie Gray

My bet is this won't stop the riots, I mean protests.

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby says Freddie Gray received his critical injuries in Baltimore police custody and has charged all six officers involved in his death.

The state medical examiner’s office turned over Gray’s autopsy on Friday morning, a day after the police turned over their investigation into Gray’s death.

“The findings of our comprehensive, thorough, and independent investigation coupled with the ME’s determination that Mr. Gray’s death was a homicide which we received today, has led us to believe that we have probable cause to file criminal charges,” Mosby said.

Alright.
The officers have been charged. Now charge the hundreds of "protesters" who were committing arson, burglary, assault, and domestic terrorism. Then and only then will justice have been served in Baltimore.

The first amendment does not give you a "stay out of jail for free" card. Mandatory community service and wage garnishment (ha who am I kidding, they don't have jobs) till every brick and storefront window in Baltimore is replaced and every dollar of lost revenue of area businesses repaid.

I find it convenient the police report had been in her office for less than 24 hours before she filed charges. She must be one heck of a fast reader. I loved her comment toward the end of her presser where she said "I heard your cries for 'No justice no peace". This looks like a political hack job to me. Most of the charges filed also require criminal intent, still trying to figure out how she'll prove that.

Now the celebratory riots will begin.

I haven't really been following this but didn't the other prisoner say he was hitting his own head on the wall? Fox news was saying that a medical examiner said it was very possible that he accidentally killed himself.

Have they determined how his neck got broken yet?

It's all a sham anyway.

How well do you think a charge of "second-degree depraved-heart murder" is going to stick in this case?

Does not buckling a detainee's seatbelt demonstrate a "depraved indifference" to human life?

In the end they will be punished for the unlawful arrest and the minor "misconduct in office" stuff and they'll all go home to their families.

Wow. Fire: Meet Gasoline.

If this goes the way of most cases where LEO's are accused, they will be acquitted and the tension will actually INCREASE.

A lot has been said, but it appears that politics and saving-face are the most important.

It will be interesting to see what the response is from the looters and rioters. Especially after the trial is over and verdicts are in...

Have they releases the autopsy and police report to the public as yet? I'm interested to see them both.

Has anybody outside Baltimore PD actually seen an autopsy report to know what the guy's injuries actually were? Far as I've seen it's all been hearsay.

Either way, I say let the CJ system do it's thing and the whole process play out. There's enough information on this that if there's reasonable doubt it will be apparent. Until then they're innocent but accused....

It's completely political for this prosecutor. What a joke.
