Whether Freddie was a bad character or not, that is an entirely separate issue from the actions and in-actions of the police officers. The made an illegal arrest, they locked Freddie up, and delivered him dying. They did this. Whether intentional or a “nickle ride” gone bad, doesn’t matter. Under the color of law, they caused Freddie to die. They were not the judge, the jury, but, yes, they turned out to be the executioners. They now need to pay for their actions and in-actions. May they rot in jail or worse.
Depends on whether Freddy imbibed his Horse stash prior to being rounded up.

My heart bleeeeeds. They arrested him because he swallowed the heroin he was trying to sell. They stopped four times to try and calm the thug down.
You get your ass into police training, become a cop and try to deal with all that.
I did not realize they were tried and convicted already...
Uhm, do you even read what you write?
Just because the prosecutor said it was an illegal arrest does not make it so.....she also said his knife was not illegal, but under Baltimore law it is. So she’s spoken half truths and measures from the start.
They locked him up because he was dealing drugs, I believe that will be revealed along the way. It was his customary place he did his drug business. They were handling not only a fleeing individual, but a Heroin Addict as well.
I think this needs to go through the system, but i also think no matter what truth comes out the community and the Mayor and Officials have already determined the officers are guilty...and so has the mob. Just as they did in Ferguson.
