Baltimore cop acquitted- Why isn't B-More burning
- Thread starter skeetsinternal
- Start date
The day when blacks stop depending on the state for justice is when we will see real justice
The only places that would burn are the poor areas anyway. Plus the state never had any evidence let alone a case
The populace has been conditioned to see this as normal unfortunately. they have become desensitized to police violence against black people. Sadly, I think that was the point.

It wouldn't have been hard to prove. The prosecution fukked this one up by pressing charges with no evidence. They hustled backwards from the start.its a fukkin shame, but this is true

Rioting is the equivalent of a child throwing a temper tantrum in his bedroom.
That's what I'm saying. It solves nothing and just cripples the local economy and kills investor confidence. I'm happy the family was well compensated but everyone knew what the outcome of the case would be

Obviously a crime was committed. Dude went from running from police to dying from severed spine which happened under their watch. The prosecution just didn't take the time to do their homework to prove it
I can't say I agree on no crime being committed, because truthfully we'll really never know. As CNN reported it............
Prosecutors alleged that after Gray was arrested on a weapons charge, Goodson took him on a "rough ride" in a prisoner van -- a punitive measure police used against unruly subjects.
They said Goodson drove so erratically that he blew through a stop sign and veered into another lane of traffic because of the speed he was traveling, which prosecutors said would have tossed Gray around in the van. This is the point in the ride that prosecutors think Gray sustained his fatal spinal injury.
But Williams dismissed the "rough ride" theory as "inflammatory" and said the state failed to produce evidence of erratic driving or even excessive speed by Goodson. That the officer failed to put a seat belt on Gray, Williams said, does not prove that he intended to take him on a rough ride.
The prosecution also argued that Goodson neglected to provide Gray with proper medical assistance after Gray indicated that he wanted to go to the hospital.
Again, Williams disagreed, saying the officer had no way of knowing the "acute distress" Gray was in at the time.
"How would the average officer without medical training know the severity or the acute distress Mr. Gray was in?" asked Williams, a former prosecutor who investigated police misconduct cases for the U.S. Justice Department."The State has not proven, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Gray was in need of medical attention."
Was a crime committed? It can't definitively be proven beyond reasonable doubt. We'll never know if that "rough ride" was intentional or negligent. If it's the latter, the most the driver faces is punitive action from the police department, and I'm sure the union will have something to say about that.

I’m from Brooklyn a place where stars are born.
Cops will have to get merked so they can get a message. Rioting aint gonna do shyt. Cops getting ambushed across the country will make them shyt they pants. These cops do not value black lives so we should return the favor.
A rough drive that cause someone to lose their life is in fact negligent breh but it was a tough case to prove without camera footage and witness accounts
