Third Officer Acquitted in Freddie Gray Death, But Activists Face Charges for Protesting Killing


Published on Jul 19, 2016 by Democracy Now!

http://democracynow.org – We go to Baltimore to get reaction to the acquittal of a third police officer on all charges for his role in the arrest of Freddie Gray, who died of spinal injuries last year after he was arrested and transported in a police van. Lt. Brian Rice, the highest-ranking officer on the scene, faced charges of involuntary manslaughter, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment. Judge Barry Williams had dropped a charge of second-degree assault at the trial’s midpoint. We speak with Sheryl Wood, a former federal prosecutor and legal analyst; and Kwame Rose, a Baltimore activist and producer with The Real News Network. He was convicted for failing to obey an order from law enforcement while protesting the December mistrial of Officer William Porter. Rose’s appeal begins today

  1. Pig boy wanted to say, “Well geez, we thought he was tougher than that, what a pussy, up and dyin’ on us like that. We only had him handcuffed behind the back, he intentionally bashed his own head in, yep, that’s our story and we’re stickin’ to it. These protesters should have their skulls cracked, and we can oblige.” “Can you imagine what would have happened if we weren’t there?”

    That seems to be pig boy mentality. So self- righteous it makes one want to puke, only one way we’re gonna solve this. Lock and load.

  2. Just keep stoking the flames

    The only definition for them is idiots
    Seems to me they are doing all the pushing and shoving
