Yep, Danny! Agendas ARE being furthered! One might be shocked at where it is really coming from! We live in interesting times. All is NOT as it seems. There are those who have agendas we cannot imagine...

Arrest warrants issued for six officers in the Freddie Gray case.

Certainly, those with an agenda have no qualms about speculation in furtherance of that agenda.
But failure to release facts surely invites speculation, speculation that will undoubtedly be predominantly to the effect that the controllers of the information have good intentions. And this also contributes to the volatility of the situation. The police are being criticized for their handling of the Gray arrest/death, the same police force is investigating the situation, the same police force is controlling the release of any information, the same police force is attempting to quell the violence of the demonstrations. Doesn't this look like the cards are stacked in favor of the police? The state police have been asked to step in. And even the federal government is getting involved (which, I think, would only be the case if somerwhere in the federal government someone decided there was a likelihood that civil rights were being violated). So failure to put out information increases the volatility. Also consider that the cliche, "Justice delayed is justice denied." There is a reason that this is a cliche - it is really a truism. No "official" information and delays in any perceivable action further exacerbates the situation. Placed in the context of real and perceived acts of police brutality and institutional racism, is there any wonder that Baltimore has erupted in violence? |

The cause of "Justice" is generally furthered by investigations, which take time. But if what one is looking for is a predetermined outcome regardlesss of the facts, that shouldn't take hardly any time at all.

Dougini,
I don't know how to take your questions. Are you questioning the motivation behind the protests? Do you think that it is impossible that the protests are political speech - objections to perceived racism or classism permeating a governmental institution resulting in at best unfair and at worst fatal treatment at the hands of an institution purported to protect the citizenry? |

That is good. What ought to happen in these sort of cases really, is what might happen to any individual. The police on seeing the film should have arrested the police involved right away on suspicion of murder or whatever. They should have all been locked up and separated first so that they could not collude and concoct a story. Then they should have been questioned vigorously. Then the police or the prosecution should have looked at the so called “evidence” and decided whether there was enough evidence to charge any of them with an offence. That could all be done in a matter of hours. Instead they left it for over a week before doing what they should have done. Anyway I think they have now done the right thing.

I see the police probably breaking the young mans spine, then picking him up and throwing him into van which attributed to his death more than likely and that is what leads me to this insane statement that the police upon seeing this film should have arrested the police involved right away on suspicion of murder or whatever. What do you see in the film and why do think they have been charged?

When it was originally reported that his spine was broken, that was misleading because that statement usually refers to the back. Seems like now they're saying it was his neck. Also, yesterday's reports of the autopsy concluded that it happened after he was placed in the van. Makes one wonder who got to who since yesterday.
Having said all that, it would appear that at the very least, the police should have made sure he was secured in the van before getting under way. I'm sure more will unfold. |

Charges, including second degree murder, have now been filed against the police officers involved in Gray's death. The prosecutor also found that Freddie Gray had committed NO CRIME and that the knife found on his person was not a switchblade and was perfectly legal.
Looks like the attempted police cover-up is starting to unravel. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/01......946.html |

Of course, the officers are legally presumed innocent until proven guilty, and who knows what a talented and zealous defense attorney may be able to find?

Well, at least they are being indicted for an actual crime.
It seems that Gray died without ever having had any crime alleged (except, of course, for his own homicide). And the police officers will likely get their day in court - aren't constitutinal rights grand? |

From what I've seen of Gray's arrest record, if they picked him up on a day when he hadn't been engaged in criminal activity, they're the unluckiest cops ever.
