Y'all gotta understand how this works. The prosecution and the defense often collude beforehand to decide what charges are going to be brought up. And in cases like this - where they don't want the city to eat itself a live with riots and shit - they'll often agree on a charge that the prosecution KNOWS that they can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt.

The guy gets charged with murder, everyone is happy or at least cautiously optimistic assuming that there is some chance at justice, and then the prosecution fails to prove its case - which was the intent all along - and the guy walks.

This shit is chess, not checkers. And shit like this isn't a glitch in the Matrix, it's a function of the Matrix. This is exactly how the system was designed to work. SMH.

This is true but also consider that these same people protesting WANT folks overcharged in the first place. instead of going to something they know they can prove in which the media and publIc will scoff and say they're lowballing and cutting the cop some slack etc they overcharge and muhfuckas walk. Its not skin off their ass either way.

Fact is its not a winnable situation.

They overcharge knowing they can't prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. That's their strategy. If you undercharge then the judge would pull rank and give a light sentence. There is no winning.

This is fucked up but i really hope there are no riots

I do. There's no justice for black people in America, (especially where these faggot ass cops are involved,) since we can't get justice, we'll just have to settle for vengeance. If they do riot, don't burn up shit in your neighborhood, go burn up shit in white people's neighborhood and business districts.

 

[the dukester]

Let's be honest, nobody gives a fuck about poor people (white or black). Couple that with being poor, and not voting.

Triple that with being poor, not voting, AND being black!! And this is the result you get.

What other recourse/options do poor, non-voting black people have? No economic power, no political power, and the only thing that gets the power structures attention is when you tear shit up.

We can't forget that our ancestors got kidnapped and forced to work for free for multiple centuries. Hurricane Katrina, showed us the "macro" version of last hired, first fired. We were treated like 2nd class refugees in our own country.

Ditto with the criminal justice system. The only feasible solution is total separation from whitey.

He died in the worst way, so sad and inhuman. And no justice like he wasn't a human being. Police killings will never change until they take the guns away from them.

 

[BobOblah]

Protesting, even rioting didn't work, posting on a forum certainly ain't gonna change shit. So what are we gonna do about it?

 

[Swiffness!]

They trying to make an example out of Mosby.

"This is their Waterloo. This is their Gettysburg," said attorney Warren A. Brown, a critic of Mosby's who predicts that she will face several challengers for re-election in two years. "She is virtually persona non grata in the white community, and her support is waning in the black community and will continue to wane if she continues to lose these cases."

The whole situation going on with Freddie Grays trial, reminds me of that movie law abiding citizen. The prosecution got there whole strategy fucked up from the start. Instead of saying Freddie gray was injured prior to getting in the van, which he clearly was in the video. Then not being properly restrained and bouncing off the walls in the van, causing him to have a severed spine.

No the prosecutor said all his injuries occurred in the van and tried to pin it on all the officers involved, because they can't determine if it that was true or not all of the officers are going to go Scott free based off of reasonable doubt.

The prosecutor should have been more strategic and went after the police driver, and have the others cop a plea and snitch on him.

I wouldn't really call this racism either since mostly everybody involved is black, Freddie, the cops, the judge and the DA, shit the mayor is black too

The judge laughed at her in court

The problem is they listened to the public instead of doing their fucking job. The public doesn't know the law, they don't have mountains of evidence to read and sift through, they don't know legal procedures about what's allowed and what isn't. Stop fronting for the cameras.

They could have played this better but they let public emotional response push them and those temporary pats on the back are now becoming "see you ain't shit either!!" The public is fickle.

They can't prove without a shadow of a doubt that the cop knew he was seriously injured so he's acquitted. That's how they're going about this case. Do anybody get punished for this dude getting hurt under their custody? Not a chance. But they like to play stupid.

Prison Rare in Cases of Blacks Who Die at Hands of Police

A judge has acquitted a Baltimore police officer in the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man whose neck was broken in police custody and whose case fueled outrage among activists of the Black Lives Matter movement. Here are the outcomes of some other cases where police have been investigated for the deaths of black Americans with whom they came in contact.

MICHAEL BROWN

The 18-year-old black man was shot and killed in August 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. A grand jury declined to indict Darren Wilson, the white officer who shot him. The Department of Justice also opted against bringing civil rights charges against Wilson.

TAMIR RICE

The black 12-year-old was shot and killed in November 2014 in Cleveland. A grand jury declined to indict two white officers who responded to the 911 call that Rice was pointing a gun at people in a city park. The gun turned out to be a toy that was missing the telltale orange tip indicating such. The city agreed to pay a $6 million civil settlement.

ERIC GARNER

The 43-year-old black man died in July 2014 in New York City after a white officer placed him in a chokehold during an arrest for selling loose cigarettes. A grand jury declined to indict the officer who put Garner in the hold or any of the other officers involved in the arrest. The city agreed to pay a $6 million civil settlement.

ERNEST SATTERWHITE

The 68-year-old black man was shot and killed in his driveway in Edgefield County, South Carolina, after leading police on a low-speed car chase. Prosecutors pursued manslaughter charges but a grand jury indicted him only for misdemeanor misconduct in office. The white officer who shot Satterwhite, Justin Craven, took a plea deal that resulted in a three years' probation.

BERNARD BAILEY

The 54-year-old black man was shot and killed in May 2011 outside the town hall in Eutawville, South Carolina. Prosecutors charged the town's then-police chief, Richard Combs, with murder in the shooting. Two trials ended in a mistrial and in 2015, Combs accepted a plea deal on a charge of misconduct in office that called a year of house arrest. The town reached a $400,000 wrongful death settlement with Bailey's family.

AKAI GURLEY

The 28-year-old black man was shot and killed in a darkened stairwell in his girlfriend's Brooklyn apartment in November 2014. A jury convicted the rookie officer — Peter Liang, an American of Chinese descent — of manslaughter, but in April the judge reduced the conviction to negligent homicide and sentenced Liang to five years' probation and 800 hours of community service.

JONATHAN FERRELL

The 24-year-old black man was shot and killed in September 2013 in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Ferrell was looking for help after being in a car crash, but the resident of a home where he banged on the door called police. A grand jury initially declined to indict the officer who shot him, Randall Kerrick, but prosecutors eventually brought Kerrick on trial for voluntary manslaughter. The trial resulted in a hung jury, and prosecutors opted against a retrial.

AIYANA STANLEY-JONES

The 7-year-old black girl was shot and killed in May 2010 during a police raid in Detroit that was filmed by a reality TV crew. The officer, Joseph Weekley, said he fired his weapon accidentally. A judge cleared Weekley of involuntary manslaughter. A separate misdemeanor charge was dropped last year after two juries couldn't reach a verdict.

JEREMY MCDOLE

The 28-year-old black man who used a wheelchair was shot and killed in September 2015 in Wilmington, Delaware. Last month, the Delaware attorney general's office opted against bringing criminal charges against any of the four Wilmington police officers involved in the shooting, even though a report accused one officer of "extraordinarily poor" police work. Police confronted McDole after receiving a 911 call about a man with a gun.
