No cops have been found guilty of wrong doing, but the city just decided to go ahead and pay up anyway. So if any of you were wondering how much a violent, criminal thug is worth, $6.4 million should get you in the ballpark. Does Al Sharpton get a cut?

Your tax dollars hard at work. You can go ahead and start puking now.

Who wants to bet they will spend all this money in a couple years and end up where they started?

Where did they start? You know them personally?

Anyway, good for them.

Mr Gray was an unarmed man on a city street who was accosted by several police officers who threw him violently to the pavement hard enough to have broken his neck . When stuff like that happens you may have problems breathing afterwards and Gray was having trouble breathing . He was tied up and them thrown like a sack of potatoes into the police van where he probably hit his head again either on the steel floor or the hard benches on either side of the van. If his neck wasn't broken before it was very likely afterwards! The cops didn't bother to restrain him (seat belts) or check to see if he needed medical attention. They then proceeded to drive around on the bumpy streets of that part of Baltimore for almost an hour before reaching the police jail in downtown (if the had gone straight there it would have taken less than 15 minutes). When they got there Gray was basically dead. He was pronounced dead when he got to the ER at Harborview Hospital. I'm glad th city paid up for the depraved indifference of men who should be drummed out of the Police Force and should do time in Maryland's overcrowded largely minority prisons.

Actually he was part of cash for crash schemes. My monies on he tried to injure himself and killed himself by going to far. Now we have a racist black mayor that let hoodlums run rampant paying off her brothers and sisters. Christ, I call book rights on this cluster. The guy was a scumbag.

Translation: Please don't riot if the criminal cases don't end in guilty verdicts.

Completely ridiculous! I can't stand liberals and their look the other way on crime, but I also can't stand conservatives and their forcing of their religion on the country... so who should I support?

But the liberals are trying to force everyone else's religion on the country. So I guess you get the religion non-sense either way.
