Your post #52 has merit. Something is evidently very wrong with the Baltimore police department. As I noted in my post #50, this sort of thing has happened before. In that incident (2005), a jury awarded the family $200,000. That's a small sum for police malfeasance, but it was the maximum allowed by law (rather convenient law, that).
Some folks will take your post #52 as excusing the rioters. Of course, that's not what you're doing.
There are two sides to this story. Both are very ugly, and neither can be ignored.
