How embarrassing for the political left – the Baltimore police officer charged with murdering Freddie Gray is black
Reuters has just reported that the Baltimore police officer charged with murdering Freddie Gray is black.
Why is the political left blaming Gray’s death on racism?
And if this black police officer gets convicted and ends up in jail, will the political left then complain about yet another black man being sent to prison?

We did see the pictures of the two white bicycle cops that arrested him.

until I saw the mug shots yesterday I thought they were all white guys but early yesterday I did hear a female name mentioned that didn’t sound very white..
Then during the press conference on FOX they scrolled all six pics..34 white men, 2 BLACK men 1 BLACK woman..
OH NOOOOOOOOOOEZ
and the one who got the most serious charges was...
....one of the BLACK men..

Sucks all the wind out of their propaganda that it’s a race issue.

Yes indeed, egg on all of their faces, next to the next manufactured crises to exploit.

I think this is mostly scripted out for “failure”. It’s simply being done to appease the natives and show city support for the riot-actions.
My general prediction is that the six cops will demand separate cases/trials. Whoever gets into the lead case will find the prosecution fairly desperate to win some portion of the case. Jury-wise? Marginal chance for the prosecution from case one...and if they lose....MORE riots. If they lose the second case? The news media will question if any of the cases can be won, and the city prosecutor will likely be ‘let-go’ and a new person brought in to help win what’s left. I don’t think any of the six will ever serve time.
As for cops on duty now? Why would you arrest anyone? I’d tip-toe through a duty day...punch the time-clock...and just avoid any street crime or druggies, period.

Wait. That can’t be right.

This event in Baltimore is the false flag event and excuse to usher in a Federal Nationalized Occupational Police Force here in America.
What happened in Baltimore is in a form of a false flag event like in Germany on February 27 1933 as the Reichstag Fire that ushered in the Nazis into power.

Blacks have been accused of being white racists for decades. Give it time.

I believe, like with the Trayvon Martin case in Florida, and the Michael Brown case in Ferguson, MO, huge, and unprovable over-reaches like this end up in having the people they are trying to trump up the charges on being exonerated and found innocent of those charges. Don't you see that that's the plan? Its not an accident, its HOW she plans on losing the case while making the "street" believe she's for them.
Personally I think it's conspiracy to commit first degree murder after the initial injury. I think a knee to the spine was applied too hard, too close to the neck during the takedown and snapped it, probably accidentally. That would also explain the crushed larynx. But to cover it up, they decided they would be better off if he died, supposedly during a rough paddy wagon ride. So - no paramedics, dragging a guy propped up to the van who was in pain and entirely paralyzed from the neck down, leaving him on the floor unstrapped-in, and stopping three separate times on the way to jail to "check" on him, making sure he arrives dead.
Chillingly cold-blooded coverup murder - and I believe they're all going to get away with it. That's just the way things work these days - cops pay for nothing, ever. And history has many, many examples of where such policies inevitably lead. But that's where we are.

Except he didn't. Freddie Gray didn't die until a week later, in the hospital. Depends on what you mean by "die." The other guy in the van testified that when they got to the jail, the cops were saying Gray had no pulse. So the paramedics probably had to shock his heart and then they kept him on artificial respiration for a week in the hospital, while his body was in a vegetative state, before they simply pulled the plug and finally declared him dead.

I still don't get how this went down. Was the black cop charged with murder the driver of the van?
Or is he the main suspect in delivering the fatal blow before the van ride?
And six cops were involved.
They didn't all ride in the van with Gray.
Who did what, exactly?

[[How embarrassing for the political left the Baltimore police officer charged with murdering Freddie Gray is black]]
You can NOT shame a liberal- EVER- This is NOT embarrassing for them because now the narrative become “We don’[t care what color he is, it’s the police force that is out of control, it’s ‘not a racial thing’ it’s a corrupt force”
No matter which way the wind blows- they are covered-
The inmates are running the friggin asylum

And six cops were involved. They didn't all ride in the van with Gray. Who did what, exactly? Charging the black cop driver with the worst charge is absurd. The arresting officers were in charge of restraining the prisoner, and the driver is apparently on audio trying to get them to strap him in.
The lieutenant did the takedown. I think he broke Gray's neck accidentally, or one of the bicycle cops did it assisting the arrest, and then they covered it up by making sure he died. The video shows a guy without control of his body, and the initial police report says the arrest took place without incident. So there was no resisting arrest by the cops own admission.
I don't think the original injury was deliberate. But what happened afterwards? Very deliberate. And apparently the driver cop is seriously broken up about it and fears for his family's safety. Why - because he's resisting the imposed silence?
The whole thing is sordid. And the DA has already deliberately prejudiced the case and is known to be best friends with defense attorney. They'll all get off for wrongful prosecution now.

My second chuckle of the evening, the first being Afleck’s ancestors’ large slave holdings.
But this is even funnier. Let’s see which MSM rag publishes the largest headlines.
