In an interview with Fox News’ “Your World with Neil Cavuto,” Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke dismissed the charges against six Baltimore police officers in the death of African-American man Freddie Grey as “political justice” and “a miscarriage of justice.”
CLARKE: It’s a miscarriage of justice. This neophyte prosecutor stood up there and made a political statement, Neil, and I say that because she chanting or voicing some of the chants from this angry mob. Her job is to tune that out. She said, ‘I hear the voices.’ She is not supposed to hear anything as she reviews this case that is not consistent with the rule of law and our system of justice.
Look, I’m an experienced and a veteran homicide detective. I’ve had — I’ve participated in charging conferences. There’s no way I have ever gotten a criminal charge within 24 hours after taking over all the reports and evidence to a prosecutor. A prosecutor who is thorough needs several days to sift through hundreds of pages of reports, they usually want to interview some of the witnesses themselves in person, and they have to sift through all of the evidence, piece by piece, and they have to wait for some of the forensic evidence to conclude to come back.
And that’s why I say on a minimum, three to four days. She just got this case yesterday. This is political activism. She’ll never prove this beyond a reasonable doubt and I’m not going to silently stand by and watch my brother officers offered up as human sacrifices, thrown like red meat to an angry mob, just to appease this angry mob.
The pressure to not plea bargain will be immense... I had to chuckle at how UNlikely it will be.
Clarke is an elected official. It would take an impeachment to remove him. That’s not going to happen. Also, he is a Democrat and carries the Black vote in Milwaukee.
Not a chance. They are going to go to trial. They are going to be acquitted. Then there is going to be another Rodney King Riot.
No one spends such little time on a medical examiner’s report to my knowledge. I would have questions for the medical examiner plus ask other specialists.
Years of experience and the red flag of her saying that she heard the "protesters" voices when announcing the charges?????
How could he not know?
