“...and condescending mockery like yours...”
First of all, please specify where I have been condescending or mocking - be specific. Then please re-evaluate your boot-licker, Soviet, and Pravda comments before you shatter the glass house.
“Because DAs and cops lie.”
I really don’t know what to say. That statement indicates to me that you have only a casual knowledge of the case. Do you really think that the DA is some sort of pro-cop shill, who reluctantly filed charges under pressure? Just to allay you of that opinion, here’s a quote from the press conference, when she announced the charges: “To the people of Baltimore and demonstrators across America, I heard your calls for, “No Justice, No peace. Your peace is sincerely needed as I work to deliver justice on behalf of this young man.” Trust me, she is wholeheartedly in favor of this prosecution, and most certainly didn’t lie to protect these officers.
“Jeez, what do you think - they broke his neck taking him down, tackling him, stomping on his neck, and then tried to HIDE it?! What part of that’s completely impossible don’t you get?”
All I can say is that you are completely ignorant of this case, from top to bottom. The autopsy states that a single high energy blow to the HEAD caused the neck injury (is the medical examiner is a liar too). In case you didn’t catch what that means, ‘stomping’ on his neck was not what broke it, rather it was a high energy impact (again to the HEAD and not the NECK) most often found in CAR ACCIDENTS. Gee, I wonder if maybe that’s why this prosecutor charged the DRIVER with manslaughter.
“...cops who break people’s necks taking them down, or driving them around, or whatever, are heroes.”
Wait a minute - is that condescending mockery? Lets establish some things (again).
1. My post dealt with my bewilderment as to why the arresting officers were charged with assault.
2. The arresting officers have absolutely nothing to do with the broken neck
So lets get back ON TOPIC: Specifically what crime did the arresting officers commit?
I think I deserve an answer - you’ve now called me a bootlicker and communist, associated me with the Soviets, equated me with Pravda, and called me condescending...because you disagree with me. So tell me why I’m wrong - what crime did Officer Nero commit?
p.s. - Notice that I haven’t called you any names. Weird huh? And I didn’t admonish you to ‘shut your pie-hole’. Gee I wonder whose losing the argument. I have a suggestion, my FRiend:
1. Learn about the case - get your facts straight
2. Get that chip off your shoulder about police. I don’t know what they did to you, but its never proper to let your emotions about a few paint a broad brush over an entire group.
3. Be more civil on this board. Seriously - re-read your posts and ponder whether or not they belong here or on DU.
My “friend,” I’m not interested in playing your stupid game. If you don’t understand my position from my posts, tough, others do. What I said is not “like” other things that happen to occur to your mind. And I refuse to try to explain your imagination. You believe the cops in this case, I don’t. But your MOCKING of common sense, backed solely by your blind belief in every word out of the DAs mouth, is yours alone - not mine. I get it - you have a job to do. But a human life was taken unnecessarily, and for a short time, Americans can still protest the lies about it. Your criticism of my position is nothing more than that I’m making it at all. To me, the neck OBVIOUSLY was broken by the take-down and the THEORY of the neck being broken in transit is an OBVIOUS lie, backed by lying police and lying medical reports by multiple lying professional people in order to accomplish EXACTLY what is being accomplished - to get the cops off Scott free. Because you know why? In America, today, the number on every cop’s badge is 007. They know it, and we know it. The only one who pretends to not know it is you. Now go find out what the DA wants your reply to this to be, and post it. But I’m done answering you save one last word: read some history and learn what happens to the population when cops never answer for their mistakes. Hint - goodbye, America. Enabling that result is what your really working for, comrade. Cops don’t have to be bad if they have no negative feedback - they’ll get there on their own without any real-world applicable laws. It’s called human nature.
