FOP President Claims Conflict Of Interest, Calls For Special Prosecutor In Freddie Gray Death
CBS Baltimore ^ | May 1, 2015

Posted on 05/01/2015 12:51:29 PM PDT by QT3.14

[SNIP]...Gene Ryan, president of the Baltimore City Fraternal Order of Police, called for Mosby to appoint a special prosecutor to the case due to her “many conflicts of interest.”...These conflicts include your personal and professional relationships with the Gray family attorney, William Murphy and the lead prosecutor’s connections with members of the local media. Based on several nationally televised interviews, these reporters are likely to be witnesses in any potential litigation regarding this incident,” Ryan said in an open letter to Mosby. “Most importantly, it is clear that your husband’s political future will be directly impacted, for better or worse, by the outcome of your investigation. In order to avoid any appearance of impropriety or a violation of the Professional Rules of Professional Responsibility, I ask that you appoint a Special Prosecutor to determine whether or not any charges should be filed.”

Remember the hue and cry in the Ferguson case? Blacks were screaming 'conflict of interest' because St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch's dad had been a police officer?

Mosby is rushing to judgment. Facts? Who needs ‘em?

Charge them all with Second Degree Murder.

In a sense, maybe her rash and foolish actions will settle the natives and they’ll calm down and go home to smoke dope and wait for the EBT cards to reload.

While the prosecutors in Ferguson patiently waited for the facts and waited months for the Grand Jury to make a decision; that did not sit well with the thugs who continued to loot and destroy.

Now? Maybe these charges (absurd, bogus and premature with a healthy dose of conflict of interest) will get the ferals to GTFO.

Democratic hard left control of Baltimore is the main cause of the riots and racial division in spite that all the power is in the hand of Black democrats for several generations.

Baltimore Mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, ordered the police: to “stand down” “LET THEM LOOT. IT’ S ONLY PROPERTY”. We saw hell explode after the Black democratic mayor gave the thugs carte blanche to destroy the city. The police weren’t allowed to defend the city. More than 100 officers were injured, some seriously.

Baltimore needs a new mayor with courage and integrity, Toya Graham, the mother that took his son from the mob.

“The steady expansion of welfare programs can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the Negro family structure over the past generation in the United States.p.” Dem. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (In office January 3, 1977 – January 3, 2001)

“The liberal left can be as rigid and destructive as any force in American life. Dem. senator Daniel Moynihan

Facts are irrelevant for Anarchists, Communists, professionals agitators and “community organizers” followers of Marxist Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” strategy.

Obama is the most racist and divisive president in our history. Obama does not want unity. He wants to keep the country as polarized and disoriented as possible. Obama has been inflaming racial tension since he took power. According Alinisky’s tactics adopted by Obama, change has to be brought through relentless agitation and “trouble making” of a kind that radically disrupts society as it is.

David Horowitz' excellent recently published pamphlet "Barack Obama's Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model" offers keen insights into Alinsky and what it might mean when Alinsky followers are in positions of power. The conclusions he reaches are not pleasant but are borne out by current events, public utterances of the president, his history, and the work of Alinsky himself.

What we are seeing is the most radical President in our country’s history who is unable to govern because governing is not his purpose. The Alinskyite, ever the destroyer of institutions, cannot govern because governments and societies are built upon institutions.

We wonder if Baltimore’s schools are forming thugs instead of educating the students for a fruitful and productive life? In Baltimore, taxpayers are currently spending $16,578 per year for each pupil in the city’s public schools. Not only is this 48% more than the national average of $10,608, but it’s more than any other country on the face of the earth spends on public education.

Nationwide according to the FBI in 2011, 193 blacks were killed by whites, 448 White killed by Blacks while 2,447 blacks were killed by blacks. That is 2.3 times more whites killed by blacks than the other way around despite the fact that there’s six times as many whites in this country.

Do Black lives really matter? How many of the parents of Blacks murdered by Blacks received a call of Obama or send his personal representative to the funeral? Did our condolences in chief has ever called the parents of so many Whites killed by Blacks?

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke: Obama ‘Quietly Enjoying’ Unrest in Baltimore

Not holding back one bit. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke says O is “quietly enjoying” what’s going on in Baltimore because he’s a ‘promoter of division’ and has ‘benefitted politically’ from ‘dividing’ people.

Sheriff Clarke points out all the times President Obama has pitted one group of Americans against another. He also questions why Obama didn’t come out and speak about the Baltimore riots earlier. He was interviewed here on the Mark Levin Show

Clarke: Change In Baltimore Should Start With “Failed Liberal Democrat Policies”

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3284755/posts

Breitbart.com ^ | April 30,2015 | Ian Hanchett

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) blasted “failed liberal government policies” for miring people in cities like Baltimore in “generational poverty” and argued that change in Baltimore “needs to start in the politics, the failed liberal Democrat policies” on Wednesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.

If someone with that kind of arrest record has never been in prison, my first thought is that the guy might have been serving as an informant for the police in exchange for leniency.

So she is the wife of Grey Family Attorney?

No. Her husband is a Baltimore city councilman whose area is where this all took place. The Gray’s lawyer contributed to her election.

I left out the lawyer for the Gray family was also on the Mosby transition team when she took office.

There is no doubt that plays a big roll on getting the charges made. I wonder what the price tag is on this, so far.

While the prosecutors in Ferguson patiently waited for the facts and waited months for the Grand Jury to make a decision; that did not sit well with the thugs who continued to loot and destroy.

Ferguson was a very, very different case. The confrontation between Brown and Wilson occurred in the middle of the street, in front of dozens of witnesses. There was complicated ballistics work to identify the location, angle, order, etc., of numerous gunshots that came from at least two different locations (Officer Wilson's car, and the location he stood when he fired outside). There were multiple autopsies. And much more. Coordinating all of that evidence, not to mention evaluating it, was a time-consuming process.

Here, however Gray was injured, it happened in the back of a closed police transport van. Fewer witnesses, less complicated crime scene, etc. Stands to reason it would be a much quicker investigation.

Yes, and if a fair trial is conducted, chances are high they’ll prove the cops involved were not guilty of second degree murder. It appears Mosby made a huge mistake with the murder charge and was pandering to the get-the-cops crowd.

My guess is that the “celebrations” will get out of hand tonight. I wouldn’t blame the police for standing back and letting it happen. Why risk going to prison to stop a bunch of thugs from destroying the rest of a bad part of town.
