Guess what will be missing real quick?
Assuming that the bicycle cops did not beat up Freddie, and if he had not died in custody, it seems like the worst they could be charged with would be false arrest.
A police officer, or a person authorized by a jurisdiction's police powers act, may arrest anyone whom the officer has reasonable and probable cause to believe has committed any criminal offence. However, in the case of a misdemeanour, summary conviction offence, or non-criminal offence (such as a municipal by-law offence) the officer may arrest the suspect only long enough to identify the suspect and give the suspect a summons to appear in court, unless there is reason to believe they will not appear in answer to the summons.
Any person may arrest someone suspected of committing a felony or indictable offence, as long as the arresting person believes the suspect is attempting to flee the scene of the felony. A person cannot be arrested on suspicion of committing a felony well after the fact unless the arresting officer possesses an arrest warrant.
Why should a knife be illegal in the first place?
I can see if he was not allowed to have a weapon if he was on parole (which we don’t know yet AFIK), but the article seems to be saying it is illegal for anyone to own these types of knifes.
What’s the difference between that and banning guns?
I don’t understand what is the big deal about switchblade knives! As a teenager in Spain, I was told by a police officer that I needed to get me one and learn how to use it. My dad brought me one and show me how to fight with it. I never had to actually use it, but more than once I opened it while saying something like “if you are tired of being a man, come a little bit closer”. It worked every time, LOL! Sometimes people ask me if I miss Spain (nope!), the food, my family... I always tell them I miss my switchblade knife!
of course the arrest was legal!
that was one of the most preposterous parts of what the affirmative action woman with a bad attitude accused them of.
Why do I get the feeling only the white cops are going to be convicted of anything?
Marilyn Mosby says: NO KNIFE FOR YOU!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Will the cops get fair treatment? Not while ****face is in control of the “justice “ department.
