So does everyone remember back right after Freddie Gray's death and the subsequent Baltimore riots, looting and arson? The Baltimore State's Attorney was widely accused by those people who looked closely at the charges of exaggerating these charges for political purposes.
Of course that was all very popular with the knee-jerk supporters of the rioters when she prematurely filed these charges. But now it appears that these charges did not pass muster with the jury for Officer Porter and that is likely to be the case with some of the others as well.
These officers should be held accountable for any wrongdoing they committed. Unfortunately, a grandstanding, politically motivated state's attorney may have undermined any hopes of seeing that happen.
So, what is the cost of that? Any guesses? More riots, looting and arsons, perhaps?
The AG, DA, and Mayor all pandered, with good reason. These loons have created a monster, and now they have to feed it constantly.
They've also created a new scam of inciting a reaction by cops and then getting paid in OC settlements. Grays family got paid before any crime against their son had been proven. This is not an isolated case either.
The "activists" are already moving to cause as much trouble as they can. Derby has his finger in any "protest" anywhere. Ferguson (his now homebase), Baltimore, Mizzou ...... he is famous you know, even been invited to the White House.
Freddie Gray's family is asking for calm and wait until the process plays out ...... that's NEVER good enough for the Activists that make their entire living promoting riots.
First guy was black. Just wait till one of the whiteys gets off.
Sad but true.
