Alan Dershowitz Rips Baltimore Attorney For Charges Against Cops, Predicts Acquittal
DownTrend ^ | May 1 2015 | BRIAN CAREY

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.

“Many on threads about this subject suggest the police resign en mass. I say be careful of what they ask for.”

Why? Let Baltimore stew in its own juices.

What Baltimore and many other cities with large, criminally-prone black males need is tougher actions against them to try and stop their out of control criminal inclinations. If that's possible.

As I posted elsewhere, didn't Giuliani get tough to stop the out of control violence in NYC?

But libtards get to feel good inside for a while, which is more important than reality

These dopes actually believe that overpolicing causes most of the problems of young, black males. We know different.

The vast majority, if not all of these high-profile incidences start with criminal acts. When there is a perceived injustice related to wealth, how many times have we heard Obozo say "everybody needs to play by the rules". Well, where is he now, applying the same standards. If inner-city blacks would simply abide by the law, they wouldn't have a cop fetish.

Giuliani established the stop and frisk laws that helped cut homicides by 75% after a few years. He also cut the killings of black males by police by 75%. That last bit of info was scarcely appreciated by the black powers that be in NYC.

It's a well known fact to policemen that black males are far more likely to resist arrest and/or run than other demographics.

In every one of the recent high profile cases of blacks being killed by the police, the perp resisted arrest and/or tried to assault the cop. And in the case of the black man shot in the back by the policeman, he resisted arrest, may have assaulted the cop, and then ran.

Cops know what libs don't know...it's always dangerous to stop and question and/or arrest a black male. Or a black female.

"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."

Good point.

I have lived most of my life either in or on the edge of "Feral Land." (Gary, Indiana.)

Our area is now experiencing an influx of Moslems.

If I had to pick, I'll take the Ferals anyday.

They are at least have known and predictable characteristics.

There are also civilizing forces at work within their community.

The forces at work within the Moslem community .....
