Thousands March in Baltimore Cheering Arrest of Police Officers
'No Justice, No Peace, No Racist Police' Chants in Baltimore
Saturday, 02 May 2015 06:31 PM
Chants of "no justice, no peace, no racist police" echoed through the streets of Baltimore Saturday during a march that organizers billed as a "victory rally" a day after a prosecutor charged six officers involved in the arrest of a man who died in police custody.
State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby on Friday charged the six with felonies ranging from assault to murder in the death of Freddie Gray. He died from spinal injuries a week after his April 12 arrest. It provoked riots on the streets of West Baltimore and quickly became a rallying cry against police brutality and social inequality in the city and elsewhere.
The planned march was to be a mass protest of Gray's treatment by police, but after Mosby's announcement, the tone had changed to more celebratory.
Shortly after noon at Gilmor Homes, a group of demonstrators, both black and white, young and older, congregated.
"Are you ready to march for justice?" Kwame Rose, 20, of Baltimore, said. The crowded chanted, "Yes."
"Are you all ready to march for peace?" Rose asked. "Yeah," the group answered.
Black Lawyers for Justice was expecting at least 10,000 people to show up downtown. Smaller groups of what looked to be several hundred gathered all around Baltimore and made their way through the streets to join the thousands at the main rally at City Hall.
They carried homemade signs, calling for peace, as well as printed ones asking for justice. Others wore T-shirts that read, "Black Lives Matter."

Uh, hopefully the few melanin-challenged folks in that photo will be far away from the city when the sun sets.
Can you believe they are celebrating the “arrest” and civil rights violations of the black woman officer and her two black officer companions? They are so screwed up!! All in support of that thugger.
indicting those cops, even convicting and sentencing the cops isn't going to improve their lives one iota.
They still have no jobs, no money, no self-esteem, no future.
They still live in a horrific hell-hole, addicted to horrible drugs.
I used to care, to hope better for them. But now, I just don't give a damn.
Talk about a rush to judgment. All this does is embolden rioters across the nation - every time they sense some injustice - they’ll take to the streets, burning and looting to get their own way. God help this once-great nation. I’m also having a real hard time with some friends of mine who voted for Obama - friends I’ve had for years. The stupidity of the American voter knows no bounds. I had one friend, who I told that Obama was a Marxist, make fun of me - and even post a cartoon on her fb page, ridiculing me. Now, she says - she is so over Obama. Ha - guess who was right?
I wonder if any of them know that three of the cops are black.
If they were marching against cops being out of control on ALL citizens without regard to race, hell, I’d march with them.
Black KKK. : ) My, have we “progressed” or what?
Take a good look at this Baltimore black mobocracy.
This is where the entire USA is heading.
A combination of white guys with beards and blacks who are probably mostly junior college or college students or at any rate the members of the black bonton. Too bad, because they or their parents got out of the ghetto (I bet a lot of them went to private or Catholic schools) and they feel guilty, thanks to the Dems, who hate achievement, so they’re out there supporting thugs who would kill them as soon as look at them.
Alan Dershowitz really went after Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby today for charging the six cops involved in the death of Freddie Gray, saying it was entirely based on politics and “crowd control.”
Dershowitz lamented that “this is a very sad day for justice” and told Steve Malzberg that Mosby acted out of a “desire to prevent riots.” It will be “virtually impossible,” he predicted, for the six officers involved to get a fair trial.
And as for murder charges, Dershowitz said there’s “no plausible, hypothetical, conceivable case for murder” and “this is a show trial.” He predicted that Mosby might get removed as prosecutor and Baltimore citizens may get upset if and/or when they “move to a place with a different demographic.”
He concluded that it’s “unlikely they’ll get any convictions in this case” and if they do they’ll likely “be reversed on appeal.”
Dershowitz is probably right...or he would be, were it not for Loretta Lynch.
Thank you.
The officers are thrown to the lions. The mob exploded in a paroxysm of irrational jubilation. A Che Guevara style tribunal will judge the accused policemen - no more innocent until proven guilty according to mob law. Four of the six accused officers are the ones charged with manslaughter. Of those 4, three are Blacks and one is White. Their heads will be presented to the mobs in a silver plate to placate the rabble of noisy angry thugs.
“The liberal left can be as rigid and destructive as any force in American life.” Dem. senator Daniel Moynihan
Democratic hard left control of Baltimore is the root causes 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.
Why the Baltimore riots, looting and destruction of their own Black neighborhoods? Did the Blacks doubted for a moment that the Black establishment in control of Baltimore will fail to condemn the officers to the highest penalty allowed by Law?
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.
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?
As Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said : Obama ‘Quietly Enjoying’ Unrest in Baltimore.
I'm really fighting the feeling, but I'm beginning to believe as you do. Too bad.
This whole scenario is setting up even more riots..perhaps even worse than the first when these officers are exonerated or it is found lack of evidence to convict.
Nuke Baltimore.
What happens when, not if, these cops are exonerated. More rioting and looting of re-stocked stores.
Idiocracy. They are demanding the conviction of black officers because of racism against a black criminal. So when they cry racism, they really do not understand the word.
99% of these protesters have been arrested at least once ,that’s why they hate the Police ,same goes for Obama
