He immediately nominated the racist Eric Holder to be Attorney General, and at almost every turn has tried to use the race issue to divide and motivate his sycophantic, racist supporters.

No, there are no illusions among conservatives about racism having ended in this country.

No, he didn't.

Can you actually argue anything he said is untrue? If not, you have no case.

Make stuff up much? Who here has said that, other than you?

You are speaking wihout any facts to back up your assumptions, When all the facts are on the table, few if any of the six will be convicted of anything..

Why don't you try Deputy Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez who made the statement.

Quote:
Deputy Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez said Monday that the 25-year-old Gray died of "a very tragic injury to his spinal cord," the bundle of nerves that carries messages between the brain and the rest of the body. Gray died Sunday, one week after his arrest in West Baltimore.
Freddie Gray's spinal injury suggests 'forceful trauma,' doctors say - Baltimore Sun


(Hint) Look for local news released shortly after the incident before this became a fertile ground for "news outlets" with an agenda.

It looks like the white cops are charged with arresting Gray while the black cops are charged with not taking him to a hospital. Something smells fishy here. I think that the prosecutor brought these charge under duress and it will backfire on her.

And the "little angels" trying to "turn their lives around" who are just "good kids" and who look like Obama's son if he had one will burn and loot Baltimore again when that happens.
