Baltimore police officer Edward Nero found not guilty in Freddie Gray death

[Bighud44]

A detained person dying while in custody of law enforcement shouldn't be hand-waved as easily as you just did. But then again, you probably thought Freddie Gray wasn't a full human to begin with, so carry on.

Yeah there was a case and he was found innocent...So whats your problem? Oh he wasn't found guilty....

[purebalance]

What is shameful is the fact that people get bent all out of shape when a verdict doesn't go they way they want it to. The judge had the evidence, NOT you. There wasn't evidence supporting the charges. Get over yourself.....What you think means absolutely nothing when it comes to this case.

Wasn't there something in like Canada recently where feminists rioted over some guy getting a not guilty verdict too? The left seems to love to have a tantrum more than the right these days.

[Daerio]

So exactly where was he abducted and not accused?

What crime was he accused of?

Oh, right. None.

[purebalance]

What crime was he accused of?

Oh, right. None.

He had an illegal switchblade.

Running from the police was probable cause to investigate him. Upon apprehension he had an illegal switchblade. The blade was illegal in Baltimore law but not Maryland.

Oh right you don't know how to read.

imo, knowing you're gonna get murdered is probable cause to run.

Not even the hint of an accusation until after he was murdered, and they planted a knife on him and called that good enough.

Still, the fact that they were psychic cops that could see the future and knew he had/would commit a crime and so pre-emptively killed him so that he wouldn't be able to was impressive.

I just wanted to reply to the mad smile op decided to go with. And I am against anything ethical stated by OP. He annoys be by creating the same kind of thread before and after ban. He is like a star that can be enabled by moderators or turned off. Very annoying.

[nonameelf]

Police got away with murder you say? Idk why anyone is surprised.

No. 1 police officer, who had nothing to do with the police van, was declared not guilty because he didn't do anything. Bike cops don't arrest people, they detain them until other officers arrive with a vehicle, then they return to doing bike cop things.

Is this the type of society you are comfortable living in? Your brother could be killed due to police negligence and then the suspects get off easily.

My brother is not an idiot who would do idiotic things that would cause him to be in an idiotic situation with idiotic people.

Oh so now you can speculate and wildly assume what occurred so it suits your own agenda? Don't worry about facts of the matter.

Grow up.

[Jagoex]

The cop who put him in the van and handcuffed him wasn't responsible. The guy driving the van wasn't responsible. The guys sitting in the back of the van with him, were they responsible? I guess nobody is really responsible for it, so we don't really have to change anything to make sure it doesn't happen again, because nothing really happened the first time... right?

But the rioters... they're surely responsible.

Society failed this guy. His environment taught him that it is okay to break the law, and desperation taught him that it was okay to inflict injury to himself in order to gain leverage against society. You are regularly confusing your opinion for fact. Let me have a go at it:

This guy, who has a history of self-inflicted injury, was flailing. Cops could not keep him buckled, and finally decided to let him have accountability for his actions. He went a little too far with his self-endangerment, antagonized his sensitive spine injury, and accidentally killed himself.

Boo @#$%ing hoo.

Oh right you don't know how to read.

yea...it sounds really vague. usually it's Federal law > state Law > local city law so what? He is allowed by the state to carry that blade but not by city even though it's legal in the state?

And for argument's sake:

He wasn't a danger towards the police, he didn't deserve a execution;
Police shouldn't be executing people unless they themselves are actually in danger, no mater who the person is;
I also don't see any argument why this guy deserved to die, I've seen people call the black guys that die in these kind of cases thugs but being a ''thug'' doesn't warrant a execution by police.

It's not the job of the police to be the judge, jury and executioner during the span of 5 mins.

The true thugs are the police (departments) and the judges that by their own inaction promote these kind of behaviours

Not a singular white person. If you cannot connect the racial history that makes up the US to the current issues in every major US city today, then you don't have enough knowledge to make an educated opinion regarding this case, or the hundreds of other cases.

Modern US law enforcement was borne by establishment whites who wanted to ensure minorities, especially blacks, were isolated and quarantined.

Hyperbole such as this should not be allowed on this board.

Let's take a look at the 4 highest profile race-based cases of the past few years - Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and Freddie Gray.

In every case there was a complete rush to judgement, by certain folks, that basically tried and convicted the "perpetrators" before any formal investigation was completed or trial was held. They effectively acted as virtual "lynch mobs" while demanding "justice" (not REAL justice but justice that THEY determined was correct and fit THEIR agenda.)


Trayvon Martin
George Zimmerman was brought to trial and was judged not guilty by a jury of his peers. President and Racist-in-Chief Barrack Obama ordered a full Department of Justice inquiry into whether or not Trayvon Martin's civil rights had been violated and a hate crime had been committed. (after all, he couldn't trust the people that were on the jury, cause you know - all white's are racist). After wasting hundreds of thousands of taxpayers dollars the conclusion was this - NOPE, nothing wrong!

Justice 1, Obama and the Race Baiters 0.

Michael Brown
After an extensive and exhaustive presentation to a Grand Jury of his peers, Officer Darren Wilson was found to have acted in self-defense in the shooting death of Michal Brown. Again, President and Racist-in-Chief Barrack Obama ordered a full Department of Justice inquiry into whether or not Michael Brown's civil rights had been violated and a hate crime had been committed. After wasting hundreds of thousands of taxpayers dollars the conclusion was this - NOPE, nothing wrong. Darren Wilson committed NO CRIME.

Justice 2, Obama and the Race Baiters 0.


Eric Garner
After an extensive and exhaustive presentation to a Grand Jury of his peers, Officer Daniel Pantaleo was NOT indicted over the death of Eric Garner. Again, President and Racist-in-Chief Barrack Obama ordered a full Department of Justice inquiry into whether or not Eric Garner's civil rights had been violated. The investigation was launched over a year ago yet there is still no conclusion. Most experts agree had there been any violation that the DOJ would have already brought charges.

Justice 3, Obama and the Race Baiters 0.


Freddie Gray
As of today, one mistrial and one NOT GUILTY verdict have been rendered. 4 other officers (3 of which are black and one of which is a black woman) are still scheduled to have thier day in court. Again, President and Racist-in-Chief Barrack Obama has ordered a full Department of Justice inquiry into whether or not Freddie Gray's civil rights had been violated, which really doesn't even matter as the City of Baltimore has already paid of Gray's parents to the tune of 6.4 million dollars. Regardless, the investigation remains open. Given the outcome of the other DOJ investigations it is more than likley that NOTHING wiill come from it aside from a completle waste of taxpayer dollars.

I'm guessing there is no federal or state law against a switchblade and there is a local city law against it. So the city is the one that's the law because there is no federal or state law.

[primalmatter]

Sadly no riots happened from this... all my stream had was a black guy utterly baffled that he could be charged for drop possession inside of a parked car. I t was funny but I made a whole bowl of cheese-caramel coated popcorn and it feels like it was almost wasted on that

Only thing it shows is that any person that called law enforcements (including the scum thug of the year Zimmerman) can get away with murder when shooting a black person.

Also why aren't you including 12 year old Tamir Rice? Maybe because it's a clear case that you can kill black people outright and get away with it?

Wasnt Tamir Rice the kid who aimed the realistic looking fake gun at people and got shot for it? Totally a clear case that you can kill people outright and get away with it .

Pretty damn close tbh.

Aimed a gun at police, got shot. It's a clear case of police doing what they're trained to do regardless of the person's skin color.

No - it shows what a complete LOAD OF SHIT the narrative "you can kill black people outright and get away with it" is.

The fucking DOJ - which was lead by a BLACK man and now a BLACK woman - launched a full blown investigation into each one of those "you can kill black people outright and get away with it" and proved that there was NO FUCKING RACISM!!!! No violation of civil rights. No hate crimes.

Also - there was no DOJ investigation into Tamir Rice. Why did you even try to include him? Was it due to the fact you were incapable of understanding the correlation between the 4 cases I specifically brought up? Pretty sure the answer to that question is yes.

Again JUSTICE 4 - RACE BAITERS 0!!!
