Baltimore riots

6 cops charged
Perhaps there is guilt and culpability on the part of the cops involved. None of us know the answer to that. I just hope that a convincing argument with substantiating evidence is presented to an impartial jury and a just verdict is rendered. I certainly would not want to be a cop in Baltimore who is just trying to do my job.
 
This was obvious. Sorry but banging your own head against the wall even in a drug induced frenzy doesn't sever your spinal cord. At best you just knock yourself out.
If you hit a wall with the crown of your head, you can very easily break your neck/sever the spinal cord.
 
So the cops' lawyers will successfully argue for a change of venue; all-white juries will acquit them, and Baltimore will be rioting again about a year from now.

I didn't read this 4 page thread so this may have been mentioned, but wasn't cops taking suspects for "rough rides" already a big issue with Philly PD a few years ago?

Yea, read someplace this used to be a CoP tactic.

Interestingly, I saw the other guy who was picked up on the news last night. Now, he got into can after Grey, but he said the drive was smooth. He said he heard some heavy banging comes from Grey's compartment that last about 4-5 seconds.

Why was this guy arrested? They said the arrest was illegal today. That the injuries came from being handcuffed and not properly secured in van.

Was this cat high? Any reports on that? Also, what kind of criminal background does he have?

serious question. what does policing the inner cities do? who are the cops helping? isnt most if not all crime in those areas just black on black drug crime? will there be any difference if there are no cops in those areas? the fear and respect for police died about 10 years ago in those areas. in the black community in philadelphia the knucklehead who shot Faulkner is a hero. thats all that needs to be said to pass judgement on the inner city mindset.
 
Here's the CoP PD reference to "nickle rides":
http://articles.philly.com/2013-12-...hia-police-police-misconduct-police-officials

"This is what Philadelphia police say about James McKenna's conduct: He was drunk and belligerent - and broke his neck banging his head against cell bars.

McKenna has a different account of what happened that June night in 2011.

He says police arrested him outside a Center City bar and tossed him unrestrained into the back of a police wagon that sped along, then stopped abruptly again and again until he fell and broke his neck."

TFE, this morning Dr. Michael Baden & the Baltimore County Coroner both said it would be impossible for a person to self-inflict a spinal cord separation.
 
So the Irish were brought to America as chattel style slaves like blacks? ...then faced systemic discrimination in the form of decades of jim crow like policies? And I assume you are talking about the west indies with your reference to the 17th and 18th century.. many of the Irish there were were forced laborers akin to how the Brits established Australia as a penal colony [edited to add: that many others made the trip voluntarily to become indentured servants]. They weren't chattel slaves.. its actually quite a distinction. As is the one between indentured servitude and slavery.. though many like to use the terms interchangeably when pushing their agenda.
Again, are you really trying to whitewash life as an indentured servant in order to push YOUR agenda...? For many reasons indentured servitude was every bit as horrific as chattel slavery. Because they would eventually be "free" many were quite literally worked to death. Slaves would have children who would be also slaves; so they were treated accordingly. Indentured servants were a wasting asset (they would eventually be "free") and were also treated accordingly - they were not as valuable as slaves so their death rate was actually higher than slaves during that time period. Again, the Pity Olympics is something that liberals excel at... Nobody denies the horrors of slavery - but when do the Japanese get to riot because they were put into concentration camps in the US during WW2? But feel free to keep absolving the black community of any responsibility for their problems; it's working out well for them and for this country.
 
Might as well just convict these six officers now and save all the time and money of a trial because any other not guilty verdict will just result in even more riots, burning, looting, violence of all kinds. Will make the past week look like a day at the beach.
