Krauthammer’s Take: Speed of Baltimore Charges ‘Looks Like Appeasement of the Mob’
May 1, 2015
Some people are questioning the alacrity with which Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby brought charges against the officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray. The problem in evaluating, says Charles Krauthammer, is that we know nothing. “We don’t know if she has the evidence because the report has been given to her confidentially,” Krauthammer said on Friday’s Special Report. “So we don’t know what happened inside the van. We don’t know what she was told happened inside the van. . . . We will know when the evidence is out, we will know at trial, we will know looking back, if this is warranted.” “But I must say,” Krauthammer continued, “that the way that she spoke at the very end, in which she essentially said to the mob, ‘I will speak on your behalf, I will bring you justice, and now you will bring peace,’ — she doesn’t speak for the mob, and her job is not to bring peace. Her job is to adjudicate these issues without consideration for what’s going to happen outside.” “It looks like appeasement of the mob,” said Krauthammer. “
We will only know when the evidence eventually comes out.”

Ya THINK?
Just think how peed those protesters will be when most charges are dropped.
Captain Obvious thanks you.
Charles the Hammer finds another nail.
Why would anyone want to be on that city’s force?
The city leaders will stab anyone in the back to advance their agenda.
Especially since they’re gonna have to change the venue to Provo Utah or somewhere to get an unbiased jury.
With the kind of leadership Baltimore has, the police could not be blamed if they resigned en masse. They weren’t allowed to their job the night of the riots and six of their number have been sacrificed to the mob.
Cops shouldn’t have to take these conditions.
Freddie Gray was injured on April 12 and died on April 19. So they’ve had almost three weeks to investigate. How much time does Krauthammer think they need? It only took 9 days to take the Michael Brown case to the grand jury.
In this day and age, with all that is happening, would anyone in their right mind want to be a cop anywhere?
Democratic hard left control of Baltimore is the main cause of the riots and racial division in spite that all the power is in the hand of Black democrats for several generations.
Black 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.
Baltimore needs a new mayor with courage and integrity, Toya Graham, the mother that took his son from the mob.
“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
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”

Breitbart.com ^ | April 30,2015 | Ian Hanchett
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.
Of course they were pressured that’s what the riots are about.
Does Charles mean no one should have been charged?
Think about it this way.....
If you accidentally kill someone, then do you really think the District Attorney is not going to charge you for manslaughter?
When someone dies from an unnatural death... then it is the #1 duty of District Attorney to hold someone accountable. That’s the way the law works and NO ONE is suppose to be above the law.
This kid was in police custody when he died. Someone is going to be held accountable.
1) Why he got arrested is irrelevant to his accidental death.
2) What his history of past crimes.... is irrelevant
The real debate that is not really being discussed was the handling of this arrest.
1) Did the Police use standard police procedure? If so, then
A) For instance, if it’s okay to use a military trained tact to take down a suspect. The military has been training the police. Which is why they have the paramilitary look compared to the police when I was growing up. Anyhow, the military is there to break and destroy things.
So if the police are being training to break and destroy things like in a war zone, then it’s going to create a lot of problems because America is NOT a war zone.
This is a debate that the police and the government does not want to get into.
2) If the police did not use standard police procedure, then they should be charged like everyone else would be. The police should not be above the law.
Those cops are America’s first 6 political prisoners. Clearly they were indicted to appease the mob while the thugs and criminals in the street go free and celebrate.
Of course it is.
.
Something fishy smelly to me.
Also said it wasn’t clear how the medical examiner could make the call that the death was a homicide - maybe because Mosby needed that call to justify her charging at least one policeman with homicide?.....
