City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby says Freddie Gray received his critical injuries in Baltimore police custody and has charged all six officers involved in his death...“Lt. Rice, Officer Nero and Officer Miller failed to establish probable cause for Mr. Gray’s arrest, as no crime had been committed by Mr. Gray,” Mosby said...They found a knife clipped inside his pants packet — the knife was not a switchblade and is lawful under Maryland law, she said.

If everything was legal...why did he run?
I don’t think she is interested in justice, she is throwing meat to the savage mob
The mayor wants to divert attention away from her own remarks about letting the city burn.
Running from the cops for whatever reason you choose is legal. Except where it’s not. Get it?
So if they make a mistake about the type of knife they are charged with a crime?
There was no other way to defuse than to unleash the kangaroos.
Maybe he was paranoid and thought they would kill him in custody.
Awful lot of knee jerking going on around here. How about waiting for some facts?
Which is a start, if they did incorrectly arrest the fellow or any other person who have their 2nd amendment taken away and themselves arrested.
But isn’t this just delaying the inevitable?
Some of these cops will be convicted...but some of them won’t. And there will be more riots.
And since the trials will be national spectacles, the riots will spill over into other cities.
Besides the obvious moral issues at play, if the prosecutor was at all interested in reducing rioting, shouldn’t she have only charged the officers she reasonably believes could be successfully convicted?
>> There was no other way to defuse than to unleash the kangaroos.
Well, you COULD come down hard enough on the first batch of rioters so that it would sink into the rest that they shouldn’t riot.
But that’s not really an option in this day and age, unless the rioters are white Christians.
Which of course they never are.
For larer
She only mentions that it wasn't a "swichblade". Other knives including gravity knives are illegal when concealed. Did she even mention what kind of knife he had.
As far as it being concealed what does "inside his pants packet" mean? That sounds like it might be concealed.
This is a lynching of the police by out-of-control leftwing city officials doing the bidding of the race hustlers and street mobs. The cops are being Nifonged in broad daylight. One more step in the march for that national security force Obama wished for.
They could not even process 80 of the mopes they picked up and had to release them.
I think it means the knife was clipped to the lip of his pocket, which means the handle of the blade of his knife was inside the pocket.
It sounds like that, yes, the police may have made an improper arrest if the charge was the knife.
My question is does making an improper arrest equate to the 2nd degree murder of the person arrested if that person then died in custody?
How exactly did these police kill him? Did they have intent to kill him? Did he injure himself in the van, or did someone else injure him in the van, or was he injured prior to being put in the van?
I am going to need answers to those questions from her.
If the indictment is true the cops need to burn.
What are the odds one of those 6 cops knows a thing or two that could land a few city officials in deep doo doo? I mean, they are keenly aware of what goes on in the streets, the drugs, the crime networks, the kickbacks, the corruption, the arrests, etc.. They may have kept their mouths shut in order to keep their jobs, BUT THEY DON’T HAVE THAT WORRY ANYMORE.
There is no indictment. A Grand Jury was NOT convened. That would take way to long. The wheels of “justice” have been turbocharged.
