Baltimore Leaders Try to Curb Expectations Over a Pending Police Report

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has said she would like information to be released as soon as possible, but said Wednesday after talking with Mr. Gray’s relatives that justice matters more than speed. “Whatever time the state’s attorney needs to make that determination, the family wants to get it right,” she said.

The Rev. Jamal Bryant, who delivered Mr. Gray’s eulogy on Monday, said he had spent the morning visiting high schools, trying to debunk “a rumor going through the high schools that somehow or other, there was a verdict coming on Friday.”

A lawyer for the Gray family, Hassan Murphy, said that the Grays did not want a repeat of the arson, rock-throwing and looting seen Monday night. “They are terribly disappointed at what happened,” Mr. Murphy said.

“We’re not out of the woods yet,” Gov. Larry Hogan warned, even as crowds gathered in the streets not only in Baltimore but also in several other major cities, including Washington and Boston.

Officials said another potential flash point is a demonstration planned for Saturday, organized by Malik Z. Shabazz, an activist who has likened the police to an occupation force. He has predicted a turnout of up to 10,000 people.

They’ll smash, trash and loot regardless of what the report says.

Oh Stephanie Rawlings-Blake
Your crocodile tears are fake
You gave Baltimore rioters space
To totally destroy the place
Now you are worried and quake
Fear follows you in your wake
You let these thugs out to play
Soon you will rue the day
For there is a bill to pay

Oopsie! Looks like Mr. Gray was trying to injure himself so he could claim to be a “victim”.

Only if you are not a mute and I can digest food. Wouldn’t it be funny if we were both web bots? Two nuts were walking down the street, one was assaulted, peanut.

You’re a poet and you don’t know it but your feet sure do show it; they’re Longfellows.
