I said none of these officers will be convicted of anything other than maybe a policy violation which has nothing to do with a legal judgement. Mosby was blinded by racism and hatred when she rushed to judgement. Instead of leading and taking the difficult and correct stand she threw something against the wall, hoping it would stick, just to get a temporary reprieve from rioting. The article and her statements make that fact very clear. The moment all 6 of these officers are acquitted your going to see more riots and blacks destroying other blacks property and homes. At some point it will be escalated by more ridiculous racially inflaming statements by Obama and Mosby. When that happens rioters are going to explode and some of them are going to get hurt very badly or worse killed. This is the point Obama and Mosby will have blood on their hands.
Let's face the truth. The rioters are uneducated folks that have been trampled under democratic policies for generations. So much so they have little to no hope or see their real value to society. The best thing they could do to help themselves is vote Non-Democratic and stop the hate filled spoon feeding they get everyday from the very people who enslave them.

Riots like this have been taking place long before such policies were taking place. In fact, one of the reasons certain policies took place were in response to the riots of the 60s.
There is another element of this to consider. Guess what rioting is getting these persons: ATTENTION!! Said persons are getting attention. Some are saying riots do not work. Well, in a way perhaps. However, the riots are getting said persons one thing, attention. If said persons are willing to go to prison or get killed for some attention, there is something far worse going on. There is a mentality going on consisting of "You better listen to me, or I'm going to make you listen, and that might involve violence". Yes, these are thugs and criminals. These are also people with nothing to lose. People who are angry to the point where they do not care anymore. One way of getting attention, unfortunately, is violence.

You're giving the rioters a bit too much credit if you think that the rioting was a calculated response and expression of real anger. The truth is that many of the rioters just wanted to be able to participate in chaos. They could care less about social injustice or Freddie Gray. However, if they really want someone to listen, it shouldn't be the general public. It shouldn't be the immigrant business owner who did nothing wrong but try to run a shop who needs to pause and pay attention. It should be the people in their own backyards, their family, their community, who failed them. We've been spending so much time pointing the finger at everyone else and blaming everyone else when we need to be blaming ourselves for many of the failures that lead to a Freddie Gray. And that's the frustrating thing; I'm watching this play out, knowing that nothing will change because we refuse to identify the pink elephant in the room. We'd rather blame white people, the system, the police, even BUSINESSES! I feel bad for the businesses, especially, because they were hit from both sides: they were looted and destroyed and are now dealing with manufactured grief from the community as justification for why they were destroyed. Sickening.
The rioting has gotten no sympathy from me.

Prosecutor in Freddie Gray Case Issues Arrest Warrants for the Wrong People
When you charge people in such a politcally charged environment, you owe it to everyone to make sure you are getting the basic facts correct. This idiot DA sent out arrest warrants for the wrong people who happened to have the same name as the officers. And now a cafeteria worker and a plumber are living in fear as their addresses have been released to the media as the homes of the officers involved.
Quote:
hen charges were announced Friday against Alicia White for the death of Freddie Gray, her phone started buzzing from journalists and bail bondsmen.
The problem was, they were calling the wrong Alicia White. The elementary school cafeteria manager from East Baltimore was not the Baltimore Police sergeant charged with manslaughter in the high-profile police custody death - even though court records listed her.
"The middle initial was off. Her address, her height, her weight, her driver's license number - all of the information was my client's information," said Jeremy Eldridge, an attorney who says he has been hired by the resident.
"Her life has been a living hell the past four days," he said.
They also issued an arrest warrant for the wrong Brian Rice, using the info from a plumber, not the police officer.
The DA couldn't even get basic information correct on 1/3 of the officers involved. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

The prosecutor is not personally responsible for coordinating the arrest warrant process. The office staff who work in the DA's office performs such functions. The prosecutor has three main tasks: to investigate crimes, to decide whether or not to instigate legal proceedings and to appear in court.
This case and the charges were weak from the start......this mistake does not surprise me. Watch most of this case crumble and fall-apart.......the gorgeous and gentle YOUNG PEOPLE are going to be disappointed, furious and in a rioting mood!!!!!!!
