All charges against the remaining Baltimore officers in the Freddie Gray case have been dropped and the gag order has been rescinded. MD State Atty Marylin Mosby remained defiant defending her prosecutors regardless of the fact the acquittals of 3 officers was grounds to dismiss the remaining officers. If Mosby and her prosecutors did such a fine job as she suggests then why the acquittals and dismissal?
Mosby launched a political witch hunt abusing her position of power, she should be removed from office and disbarred IMMEDIATELY! She can rant and complain all she wants because it will not help her when she has to go to court to defend herself for being charged with malicious prosecution.
Baltimore judge has acquitted the fourth and highest-ranking officer, Lt Brian Rice, of all charges in the Freddie Gray case. There is no substantial, credible evidence to show malice or criminal intent by any of the officers against Gray. It's time for State Attorney Marilyn Mosby to be removed from office after this politically driven witch-hunt she launched against the 6 officers charged with the death of Gray.
“To the people of Baltimore and the demonstrators across America: I heard your call for ‘No justice, no peace.’ Your peace is sincerely needed as I work to deliver justice on behalf of this young man.
To the youth of the city. I will seek justice on your behalf. This is a moment. This is your moment Let’s ensure we have peaceful and productive rallies that will develop structural and systemic changes for generations to come. You’re at the forefront of this cause and as young people, our time is now.”
Mosby has clearly demonstrated what malicious prosecution looks like by an individual abusing her position of power. She should be forced to resign by the Governor, impeached by the legislature or recalled by the voters. Regardless how she is removed from office Mosby should most definitely be disbarred and never permitted to practice law again!
Highest-ranking officer charged in Freddie Gray case acquitted on all counts by FoxNews.com/ contrinutors Varuna Bhatia & Associated Press
A judge in Baltimore Monday acquitted the highest-ranking officer charged in the death of Freddie Gray, marking the fourth trial that prosecutors failed to win.
Lt. Brian Rice faced charges of involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office. He opted for a bench trial by Baltimore Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams.
The judge previously dismissed a second-degree assault charge, and prosecutors dropped a second misconduct charge against the 42-year-old officer, who is white.
Gray died a week after suffering a spinal injury in a police van last year, touching off protests and rioting.
Rice's failure to seatbelt Gray, Williams said, may have been an error in judgment and a violation of updated policy -- but the judge found prosecutors failed to prove it rose to a criminal level.
"The state failed to show that the defendant, even if he was aware of the risk, consciously disregarded that risk," the judge said... read more
The hits just keep coming out of Baltimore! Two officers have been exonerated now going into trial number three we learn prosecutors withheld key testimony from the other prisoner who was in the van with Gray because....
he was "consistent with his inconsistencies" and they didn't think they needed to disclose anything that would help Officer Goodson's case.
Oh Marilyn Mosby you must be so proud of yourself! You deserve to be sued for malicious prosecution and at this point be disbarred for this biased witch hunt you launched against these officers to appease the mob that tore that city apart.
Pamela Geller is getting hell for holding a draw muhammad contest which is really a First Amendment issue, yet Malik Shabazz can go on the radio and say people deserve to get hurt!? Where are the critics to condemn Shabazz for the language he uses(now and in the past)? This guy being an attorney is very slick when he speaks btw, he takes things right to the edge and then throws in a word or phrase to cover his ass. Yea sure "some people need to get hurt", but he stops short of condoning violence. Shabazz does this because he is engaged in political activism running Black Lawyers for Justice trying to give the impression he's reputable. Frankly what he did was take a page from Putin; he took the uniform off and put a suit on but he is still as dangerous as he was when he was running the New Black PUSSY Cats.
Am I calling for Malik to be silenced like those who call for Gellers? No! Let him run his mouth so the world can see and hear how militant racists talk. I am just pointing out the hypocrisy of the crap media who will gladly attack anyone on the right for speaking their mind. When radicals islamists, anarchists or in this case a racist runs his mouth the media stays silent out of fear. This ignorance only emboldens radicals like Malik to the death cult who wants us all dead. Between the media giving carte blanche to radicals and our leadership being completely impotent time is quickly running out for our freedom and whats left of our way of life.
If people don't start speaking up like Geller and getting leadership under control America will not survive this multi-front assault.
Props to anyone who can tolerate the entire 35 minute segment with closet commie Alan Colmes. Normally I would do it but a double whammy from a certified racist and commie is too much for me. After listening to a few minutes of Shabazz I need to go watch Jesus of Nazareth (the original miniseries for those wondering) or something!
Gee what a huge surprise Eric Holder 2.0 is going to investigate the Baltimore police dept! How is that going to work since so many holes have already been pointed out in the investigation? Take note boys and girls not one mention of those who rioted, looted and tried to burn the city down. Oh and lets not forget Mayor Rawlings-Blake who gave her blessing for the rioters to have a space to destroy, who then denied saying that regardless that we all heard it blaming the media and also ordered law enforcement to stand down! No, not one mention of her incompetence and meddling... nothing to see there just move along while the police are put under the microscope.
A real Attorney General would investigate all players in what happened in Baltimore not just the police. Lynch's announcement is political, it's not an act of finding justice for Constitutional and civil rights violations. If this were true Lynch would have included the victims of the looting, rioting and arson! What you have here is Lynch continuing obama's radical divisive agenda. Obama has a track record of keeping his promises and there is one big one left that involves federalizing the police. These high profile police cases are the ingredients he needs to deliver on his 2008 campaign promise...
What is unfolding right now with the police across the country from them being scrutinized by this regime to their militarization is all by design. Eric Holder got the ball rolling and now Lynch is in place to see it through. Maybe it won't be completed by the time obama's term is over but the path has been set it's just a matter of time.
Just like clockwork the truth is slowly coming out, we saw this with Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown and now Freddie Gray. While leaks can be detrimental to a criminal case sometimes they are necessary if the truth is being suppressed for political agenda. It's no wonder after 6 officers were charged today with homicide that news like this is hitting the wire contradicting what the State Atty announced. The Baltimore police feel they have been thrown under the bus by senior commanders and the mayor so expect more anonymous interviews like this.
Gray was If you are a habitual criminal and cops knew his MO so they had probable cause to initiate an investigation if not an arrest. That said the story of him making eye contact with police and running now makes sense. He was in an area he was known to sell drugs, they saw him making some kind of exchange as this cop alleges to Hannity, and Gray chose to run. Based on his previous history they had every right to apprehend him. With that said this report along with Gray's history State Atty Marilyn Mosby misled the public, that's strike #1.
Word to the wise.... If you're not guilty you have nothing to worry about. Yes we have had instances of abuse by police to just grab anyone and if it's a general case of harassment either way call the ACLU or NAACP to sue the police!
Leaders, attorneys, retired police etc have all said keep a cool head face the police don't run, don't fight them, don't try to take their weapons and fight them in court. The same applies if you're a victim of discrimination fight the bad cops in court; especially now with so many high profile cases you're bound to find someone to represent you.
This former Marines passion and sacrifice for the US is truly appreciated but no one is calling him a thug. This is what happens when Al Sharpton, Malik Zulu Shabazz and other radicals step in to a controversy. All this talk about calling people thugs as usual has been taken out of context and blown into some new political correct narrative. Many are in fact making the insane claim that calling one a thug is racist.
I don't know who you are sir but you are not a thug, whomever told you so is more than likely an opportunist playing off your emotions. When obama, the mayor and others started calling those engaged in protests and then riots thugs they were in their right to use that word.
The thugs are those who took to the streets stealing, looting and destroying property. They are the opportunists who really couldn't careless about what happens in Baltimore. They have a larger agenda to destroy the America as we know it for some sick and twisted progressive utopian dream that history proves has never worked.
Anyone like this Marine who are voicing their anger and frustration are the peaceful protesters who have been infiltrated and co-opted by the race hustlers. None of you are thugs as long as you did not participate in any of the crimes committed! But lets be clear on something your problems is deeply rooted in those who control you. Baltimore like all cities/ and towns that is in economic and social ruin is a result of decades long democratic rule. You can blame whitey and republicans all you want but facts are facts: every single city and state that is in ruin is because of long term democrat control. Baltimore citizens you should be directing your anger at those in power. Rep Elijah Cummings has done absolutely nothing to change your situation. He like all leaders plays the community, putting people in a corner to keep them there and so they'll keep him and others like him in power. If you want real change with the police and power structure you need to gut your leadership.
Yes America you heard it right, Mayor of Baltimore Stephanie Rawlings-Blake gave the order to have police stand down and allow the destruction of property. This is pure insanity but only in obama's America could something like this happen.
Anyone, individual or businesses, who suffered property damage or loss go ahead and make your insurance claims, you're covered. Not the typical STR response you were expecting huh? Hang on...
All the insurance companies who will be hit with claims for the damage suffered by rioters should file a class action lawsuit against Mayor Rawlings-Blake and another against the city. The destruction and loss of property insurers will be on the hook for could have been limited or stopped all together if she did her job. The money lost should come directly out of her pocket and the city, since the police are "employees of Baltimore. What she did defines dereliction of duty and Stephanie just incriminated herself.
Big expensive lawsuits is the only way for people to get the hint this garbage has to come to an end. It's mind=boggling that we have a mayor who more or less sanctioned anarchy so a mass of people could get their anger out of their system. Mayor Rawlings-Blake you better thank God no one died Saturday because along with sanctioning the destruction of property you would more than likely be named a co-conspirator if someone had died!
Baltimore has become Ferguson 2.0 following the death of Freddie Gray who died after injuries sustained while in police custody. The "No Justice No Peace" crowd wasted no time taking to the streets and creating havoc. Racial tension continues to be at dangerous levels in America hitting a new peak in Baltimore, but you wouldn't know it by the lack of national media coverage. Thanks to YouTube and Twitter we can see what is unfolding because the national media as a whole couldn't careless. They are more concerned covering Hillary Clinton's newest scandal or demonizing the next victim of the Gaystapo for not wanting to bake a cake than the violence and social/racial collapse happening in our cities.
So attendees of the White House Correspondents' Dinner started tweeting out pics and I finally called one reporter, Fox's James Rosen, out to what is going on in a tweet...
Yes you can have good time but what bothers most people is the elitist attitude and lack of coverage of the riots. Some of the responses following that tweet should have spelled it out to him...
James and those who attended the White House Correspondents' Dinner it matters when not one major network carried coverage of a city being ripped apart. It matters because 36K+ Americans who were also out for a good time like you, watching Baltimore Orioles vs Boston Red Sox, were on lock down at Camden Yards, and told they could not leave stadium.
We know WHCD attendees have smartphones and were well aware of what was going on but Saturday night demonstrated why we the people loathe the majority of them. Granted reporters like Rosen do a good job reporting on stories others have ignored, the issue people have is the absolute lack of concern by any of the networks.
No remote team was sent out to cover the trouble in Baltimore that got worse as night fell. These are the same networks that dispatched multiple teams to Ferguson without hesitation, or sent teams to hot spots around the world but blatantly ignored riots 30 min away!
Yes it's a local story but so are the countless others the national media has jumped on to be the first to cover for a national audience. That didn't happen because partying was clearly more important...
We won't forget and maybe next time when all the elites in media, entertainment and govt are having a good old-time people are going to pay you a visit!
How did that line go in The Dark Knight Rises... "there is a storm coming...."
Here we go again, Ferguson 2.0! Just when you think the circus is over with a high profile police related death another one comes up. Cops have got to get themselves in check when they confront alleged criminals. Those officers who are highly stressed from the job that let loose on criminals physically need to remove themselves from duty or senior officials need to do it immediately. Officers who know "loose cannons", it is your responsibility to keep an eye on them and if need be rat them out. Yes yes we know cops don't rat cops out, well fine then we will continue to have these police related deaths like Freddie Gray and communities turned upside down. Every week a few bad apples are caught on cam shooting or beating someone within an inch of their life. Enough already!
It's bad enough we have obama and Holder (now on his way out) helping the race hustlers out by stoking the flames of division. The last thing we need right now is cops flying off the handle using excessive force. Cops need to be careful of their actions because cameras are everywhere while Sharpton is just looking for a reason to start a fight somewhere.
The rabble-rousers who amp up protesters don't care about right or wrong or the truth, they want to create anarchy. So it's on the police to police themselves revisit policies, procedures and make changes before emperor obama tries some kind of executive order to federalize the lot of you! Sorry police that the weight of this is on your shoulders but you have brought it on yourselves not dealing with the bad apples within your ranks.
