The headline posed a valid question (Why Freddie Ran)
Too bad the article was crap and didn’t address that question.
“When the cops chasing Freddie Gray caught up with him, they had a problem: He had not done anything illegal. They solved that problem the way cops often do: They plucked a charge out of thin air.”
Police in disguise were interviewed and stated that two cops saw him had over ‘drugs’ and take money.
“Rice, Nero and Miller arrested Gray for carrying a switchblade, which Maryland defines”
He was arrested by Baltimore City cops under Baltimore statues. The Maryland definition is irrelevant.
...or had the drugs stashed within site so as not to have the drugs on him.
“Too bad the article was crap and didn’t address that question”
Not only that, he assumes as fact points that are in dispute. See my earlier post.
And no one has denied that his knife was legal under Maryland law. He was arrested for a knife that is illegal under BALTIMORE’S knife-control laws. You cannot have any knife with a spring in it in Baltimore. NO technology whatsoever is permissible.
Interesting. My AARP tabloid just listed Baltimore as a nice place to live in retirement, several times.
Crack? Or heroin? Reports are out there he was on H.
No matter. The fact is Freddie was a career criominal. And he ran.
I shed no tears for him being dead. He caused his own death.
Is Mr. Sullum brain damaged, in an underground bunker or WHAT? Does he listen to the news? By now most people know that the knife was illegal. One of the cops attorneys is asking to see the knife that has already been deemed illegal by the task force. According to this attorney, the knife is also illegal under Maryland statute and that’s what I’m reading as well.
I think I just answered the question as to why he ran.
The knife being legal or illegal is of no consequence to me. The fact is - He had a WEAPON.
The thugs can't pronounce heroin, they say Her'on.
They didn’t find the knife until after they decided to arrest him.
Perhaps valid points.
However, Liberal-t-more is a progressive city and has been for decades.
Which means, of course, that it requires scientific notation to accurately notate the incompetance and corruption.
The inverse of the above number will also indicate the average IQ of their typical gubmit minion.
Face it, the place is doomed.
Rally? Does AARP list the convenience of being close to a CVS pharmacy?
Ooops. Better scratch that.
Why is the knife being legal or illegal of no consequence? If it was legal (and I'm not saying it was - it certainly looks like it was not), then who cares if he had a weapon?
” New York cops who arrest pot smokers for publicly displaying marijuana after tricking them into revealing it”
They didn’t ‘trick’ them. They just asked them to empty their pockets.
So......When is the public going to see the evidence? Or are we going to continue to get it from 3rd party MSM sources? This trial is going to be very interesting. Seeing how Mosby seemed to keep mentioning Gray not wearing his seatbelt at her lighting speed press conference after the autopsy report came in, I am assuming that is all she is able to charge the cops with - a seatbelt violation.
Yeah, if you’re a bullet
