Standards, procedures, laws, and all that nonsense you try to point to isn't the same for cops going through the system as it is for the average joe. That isn't justice; trying to pretend rigged court systems especially in NYC, LA or Chicago for a group of cops facing a murder is equivalent to justice is just baby-time frolics.
Oh I think I'm really getting it now. Justice only happens when Daerio agrees with the verdict. He is omnipotent, of course. So he knows what REALLy happened, and what the verdict should be.

Not that I think he deserves death ( I don't know him) ... but distributing drugs is very serious. Even if YOU like drugs.
Yes. BLM talks a hell of a game when it comes to justice, but all they really seem to mean is "give me what I want!" rather than any meaningful use of the term.

As near as I can tell, the local politicians and legal machinery of Baltimore were enthusiastic about convicting these officers. That they were unable to do so despite in that environment strongly suggests that there just isn't any real evidence of wrongdoing.

March 13, 2015: Malicious destruction of property, second-degree assaultSeems like 2015 was a banner year for Mr. Gray's career as he escalated into burglary, breaking shit, and attacking people. I somehow doubt that the times he got caught are the only times he was engaged in these activities. Also worth a mention is that these aren't drug charges in the sense of having a joint he planned to smoke - this is distribution of hard drugs in a city that's ravaged by drugs and gangs. So yeah, drugs actually matter here.January 20, 2015: Fourth-degree burglary, trespassing
Isn't it weird that we can't seem to find any poster-children for BLM that aren't just awful people?
Given his history I'm not exactly shedding tears for the guy.
Oh and drugs? Just on that point alone (ignoring violent crimes), the charges were largely intention to distribute narcotics. This is the kind of pusher who destroys peoples' lives. Very different from drinking some beer and toking up every friday while watching HBO.
Unfortunately because police/court corruption is a thing. When a previously healthy human male was placed in that van, then removed as a dead human male an hour later(?), yet no one is held responsible, people will question.
He didn't just "end up dead" he was in police custody when it happened. This focus of the case isn't "was Gray a scumbag or not", it's "did the police kill someone"

that terrible attitude is why you have so much injustice over there in the first place. you see everything in black or white..good guys or bad guys. look..problems for a person can change "him" from normal today to a criminal tomorrow. "tough on crime" supporters think all criminals want to be one which ofc is retarded. your whole justice system is built up around punishment(usually for the poor) which makes the convicts even more cynical when they are back in society. its incredible a western nation can treat its own inhabitants this way in this day and age. the US is 70-80 years behind Europe in this aspect..exactly how is that even possible
Looking at his criminal record is enough education for me.
He was a danger to himself, and the community. Obviously he didn't learn anything from being in the Maryland revolving door penal system other than how to be a better criminal.
He has a choice as a free person, be a criminal or not. Do the crime do the time.
