It's not about the person. It doesn't matter how bad the person is, police officers can not be judge, jury and executioners.
You appear here on this thread quite a lot, but you don't seem to understand the dynamic here. Police can indeed as you keep stating "be judge, jury and executioner". Police officers are sworn. Do you understand what that means?
We as a society hire and give our permission to these men and women to do what is necessary to keep order. On occasion that means taking a life.
We hope such outcomes are justified and rare, but that is part of the dirty-work we must have to sustain our society.
Tolerating these destructive animals only further rots the core of the neighborhoods.

Do you really, honestly think Freddie Gray was going to be anything but a drag on society? Do you really believe he was going to stop being a drug dealer, a burglar, etc?
He was going to either end up dead at the hands of a gang member or end up in jail, in which case, your tax dollars were going to get him 3 hots and a cot.
Had he not been a drug dealer, he'd be alive today.
Watching it on the news now. The rioters are worse than animals. Savages with no brains, just out of control violence. Worse than animals actually, even animals know enough not tho sh*t where they eat. Same morons burning down their own neighborhoods will be complaining about the lack of jobs, business and property.
I feel sorry for the decent people who's cars, businesses and homes are trashed by this human garbage.
Not one $$ of tax money to rebuild. You broke it, you live in it.
Absolute mayhem in Baltimore yesterday and the mayor allowed it. Shame on her. Shame on the mob who destroyed other's property. And Shame on the criminals who attacked innocent people like the shopkeeper and police doing their job.
Low IQs, criminal backgrounds, no job skills, unable to even put together a coherent sentence.......no amount of taxpayer money thrown at these violent idiots could raise their lot in life.

She was on the news saying she didn't want them to respond like they did in Ferguson ... They did exactly that by doing nothing and telling officers to stand down. Good job Mayor
You can't blame Obama for this. He's a patsy stooge put in power to be a fall guy and useful idiot by the people that run both parties and have been working to tear down the middle class and to undermine America on every level.
What's worse than blaming a fraud like Obama for the country's ills( although he is a pawn working against the country) is that the truly ignorant and stupid still think he's on their side and will somehow help them. He'll turn on them without a second thought.
Those rioters and looters are brain dead criminals and a threat to the rest of us. The authorities will let them run amok to get us to demand protection and then they'll crack down on all of us. Well, no thank you. I'll get my own protection. Expect to see gun sales skyrocket.
Anyone watching CNN? They seem to be trying quite hard to blame the governor but he is hardly to blame. He came in just as soon as the mayor asked and in fact, he said he was ready to go on Saturday but no call from the mayor then. I think this one belongs solely to the mayor. Guess CNN would prefer to have a Republican to blame even if the Republican in question is not to blame and instead it's a Democrat, the mayor!

I saw what CNN was doing and had to turn the station. They did the same thing during Ferguson. Don Lemonhead was really on the Governor last night. I saw the mayor say she didn't want the police response to be all heavy handed. Congrats the police just watched everyone do the riots
