Not everybody is happy that the six police officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray are being charged with felonies.
One of those people is famous defense attorney Alan Dershowitz, who appeared with Steve Malzberg today to slam Baltimore state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby for playing politics with the lives of those officers.
Specifically, Dershowitz said that “this is a very sad day for justice.” He claimed that Mosby acted to prevent riots rather that in response to the evidence in the case.
He also said that it will be “virtually impossible” for the police officers to get a fair trial.
Dershowitz criticized Mosby for the extent of the charges as well, saying that there is “no plausible, hypothetical, conceivable case for murder.” He went so far as to say that the state’s attorney might be removed from the case.
Finally, he said that it’s unlikely that the state will get any convictions in this case. And, even if they do get convictions, they will probably lose on appeal.

Then they'll be acquitted won't they. I wonder how you reacted at the initial reports of the Danziger bridge incident.
I’ve been a fan of Larry Hogan for a while. I’m proud to have voted for him. He rose to the top in handling this while Rawlins Blake and Mosby sank further into the slime pit of racial based liberalism.
Larry Hogan moved his office to Baltimore this week. He’s been out meeting people, thanking officers and Guard and basically being a “cheerleader” in the best sense of the word.
Blake spends more time in Makeup than on the streets. She and Mosby are so far over their heads it’s pathetic.
Maryland politics are very odd; the core of the state (Baltimore City, and the DC ring counties of Montgomery and PG Counties) are solidly Dem, with the outer counties (North, South, East and Western MD) solidly Republican by almost the same margins. The “swing” counties are the Balto. suburbs (Baltimore County and Anne Arundel Co.). I would imagine this type of unrest will swing a lot more of the voters in those two counties to the Republican side. Its not necessarily a racial voting division - Montgomery Co. is about as white wine and brie as you can get, highly dependent on federal government salaries and similar in voting patterns to Cambridge, MA. I don’t think this will affect the economies of the “outer” counties (the Eastern Shore is tourism and agriculture, the southern counties tourism, the western tourism, and the northern is horse country and some ag). It will certainly affect the Balto. city economy and with it, probably that of the Balto. ring counties.
The mayor looked scared on tv and appeared to be both psychologically and physically dependent upon Al Sharpton (ugh!). Again, I don’t think the whole thing is so much racial (although there is certainly an element of this) but more an attempt to dismantle policing by making cops wary of enforcing anything but the most striking of crimes, thereby freeing wannabe criminals to do what they want. I would imagine there are white anarchists that are younger versions of Bill Ayers and Dohrn there, they seem to travel to wherever there is trouble to see if they can be part of it and to stir up more.
“If and when they convict these cops, every single cop in Baltimore should resign at the same time.”
It’s never going to be resolved until the primitives get
their sacrifice. At least one of these cops is going to be
convicted. This is probably going to play out just like
Rodney King. If anything they will get them on civil rights
violations. In Ferguson they tried being open and laid all
the evidence out there and made a big effort to keep the
population informed and it didn’t work. Now they are going
to try the sacrifice. As the mayor said “ It’s just property” they
will be saying “ It’s just a cops life and career.”
A technician at my local pharmacy said his parents live in Baltimore and they, as well as their friends and neighbors, have left town for a while.
I understand your sentiment......and would agree....
..but this is what the administration ......Obama and ilk....
.want........the good policemen to leave.....
so they can hire those who will follow ‘the agenda’
“The steady expansion of welfare programs can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the Negro family structure over the past generation in the United States.” Dem. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (In office January 3, 1977 – January 3, 2001)
“The liberal left can be as rigid and destructive as any force in American life. Dem. senator Daniel Moynihan
Democratic hard left control of Baltimore is the root causes of the riots and racial division in spite that all the power is in the hand of Black democrats for several generations.
Baltimore Mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, ordered the police: to “stand down” “LET THEM LOOT. IT’ S ONLY PROPERTY”. We saw hell explode after the Black democratic mayor gave the thugs carte blanche to destroy the city. The police weren’t allowed to defend the city. More than 100 officers were injured, some seriously.
Why the Baltimore riots, looting and destruction of their own Black neighborhoods? Did the Blacks doubted for a moment that the Black establishment in control of Baltimore will fail to condemn the officers to the highest penalty allowed by Law? Four of the six accused officers are the ones charged with manslaughter. Of those 4, three are Blacks and one is White. Their heads will be presented to the mobs in a silver plate to placate the rabble of noisy angry thugs.
Facts are irrelevant for Anarchists, Communists, professionals agitators and “community organizers” followers of Marxist Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” strategy.
Obama is the most racist and divisive president in our history. Obama does not want unity. He wants to keep the country as polarized and disoriented as possible. Obama has been inflaming racial tension since he took power. According Alinisky’s tactics adopted by Obama, change has to be brought through relentless agitation and “trouble making” of a kind that radically disrupts society as it is.
David Horowitz' excellent recently published pamphlet "Barack Obama's Rules for Revolution: The Alinsky Model" offers keen insights into Alinsky and what it might mean when Alinsky followers are in positions of power. The conclusions he reaches are not pleasant but are borne out by current events, public utterances of the president, his history, and the work of Alinsky himself.
What we are seeing is the most radical President in our country’s history who is unable to govern because governing is not his purpose. The Alinskyite, ever the destroyer of institutions, cannot govern because governments and societies are built upon institutions.
We wonder if Baltimore’s schools are forming thugs instead of educating the students for a fruitful and productive life? In Baltimore, taxpayers are currently spending $16,578 per year for each pupil in the city’s public schools. Not only is this 48% more than the national average of $10,608, but it’s more than any other country on the face of the earth spends on public education.
Nationwide according to the FBI in 2011, 193 blacks were killed by whites, 448 White killed by Blacks while 2,447 blacks were killed by blacks. That is 2.3 times more whites killed by blacks than the other way around despite the fact that there’s six times as many whites in this country.
Do Black lives really matter? How many of the parents of Blacks murdered by Blacks received a call of Obama or send his personal representative to the funeral? Did our condolences in chief has ever called the parents of so many Whites killed by Blacks?
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke: Obama ‘Quietly Enjoying’ Unrest in Baltimore

Not holding back one bit. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke says O is “quietly enjoying” what’s going on in Baltimore because he’s a ‘promoter of division’ and has ‘benefitted politically’ from ‘dividing’ people.
Sheriff Clarke points out all the times President Obama has pitted one group of Americans against another. He also questions why Obama didn’t come out and speak about the Baltimore riots earlier. He was interviewed here on the Mark Levin Show
Clarke: Change In Baltimore Should Start With “Failed Liberal Democrat Policies”

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) blasted “failed liberal government policies” for miring people in cities like Baltimore in “generational poverty” and argued that change in Baltimore “needs to start in the politics, the failed liberal Democrat policies” on Wednesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.
I’m not defending the cops but is there even a shred of evidence that has been released that they abused Freddy Gray?
I look at either the charges being thrown out or reduced.
I see this trail heading to the capital city in MD, and to a court house there. Things are too heated in Baltimrore, plus folks in the country have had enough of the mischief of the rioters.
Dershowitz is a very good lawyer and has a long track record.
Looks like the B’more D.A. is Nifong in drag
Freddy was running. Then Freddy was arrested. He arrived at the cop shop with a fatal spine injury. This kind of thing happens far too often. My hope is that this case motivates the majority of good officers to police their own bad apples and stop the abuses.
Many on threads about this subject suggest the police resign en mass. I say be careful of what they ask for.
Your above sequence shows no evidence of police brutality and no example of bad apples.
This is a kangaroo States’ Attorney with a kangaroo case.
Seriously???? I do not think women is the problem....Liberal is the problem. I do not think Margot Thatcher or Palin would find themselves in such a mess,
The Chinese, Canadians, and if the Euro rises, Europeans whom are dumb enough that living next to ferals is less dangerous than their Mooselimb invaders.
“Liberalism has destroyed America.”
I’d say leftism has destroyed America. Liberalism is just useful idiocy that the left uses on occasion to advance its agenda of tyranny. When the left has gained the power it seeks, liberals and the childish fools that embrace it will be eliminated.
This is a trail:
Enjoy your weekend, get outside yourself and take a walk! :)
Do you have even one inkling of the fact that the “FOLKS” in Baltimore hate/abhor the POlice? The first two days and nights showed that.
If they think they would be better off without the POlice, they just got shown the results!
