Murder charges against Freddie Gray cops may be DROPPED because police findings don't support the case, say officials

Baltimore City State Attorney charged six officers over death of Gray Separate police probe of case says manslaughter is most serious crime Defense lawyers are arguing that arrest for knife possession was legal 'If this case falls apart, will Baltimore burn?' one official asked

The murder charges filed against the Baltimore officers who arrested Freddie Gray could be dropped, because the police investigation into his death doesn't support the prosecution's case, it's been reported.

Last Friday, Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby levelled charges ranging from assault to second-degree murder at six police officers involved in Gray's death. He had suffered a fatal spinal injury while in police custody.

However, officials familiar with the case have revealed that police investigators do not agree with the charges. The murder charges filed against the Baltimore officers who arrested Freddie Gray could be dropped

The officials said that the internal probe team do not believe a charge more serious than manslaughter should be brought against any of the officers, according to CNN. RELATED ARTICLES

What's more, defense lawyers are mounting a challenge to Mosby's assertion that the officers had unlawfully arrested Gray because the knife he had in his pocket is considered legal under Maryland state law.

Marc Zayon, the attorney for Edward Nero, one of the officers charged, argued in a motion filed Monday that the knife in Gray's pocket — described in charging documents as 'a spring assisted, one hand operated knife' — is in fact illegal under state law.

Hopefully you are correct. Most effective revolutions are composed of a small dedicated able group weighed against a vast inert and inept government. Lenin’s conquest of Russia was effected with only about 250,000 out of a total population of about 100,000,000. However, I’m not optimistic.

" I know that intelligence gathering looks more romantic.... That's probably why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond types of films. But in reality the main emphasis of the KGB is NOT in the area of intelligence at all. According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.

It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages. The first one being "demoralization". It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism....

The result? The result you can see ... the people who graduated in the 60's, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. You can't get through to them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior. "

The 'day after' Mayor Rawlings met with Lynch, in a 'closed door' meeting, she called for a federal investigation of the police dept. ...Some interesting facts discovered also is that Baltimore has already been participating in 'a voluntary Justice Department review'which was requested by Rawlings-Blake and Batts 'LAST FALL'. ....It would enable police to implement reforms without a court order or independent monitor....also around that time..LAST NOV. ....Baltimore City Council passed a bill for all Baltimore cops to wear body cameras which passed 12-1. The bill had widespread support among the public. Mayor Rawlings vetoed the bill..... Meanwhile both Rawlings and Mosley are being coached from Washington and other outsiders...of that I have no doubt.

I started college in the mid 1950’s and already Marxism was being preached BY SOME. My English teacher was a Marine Colonel who served on Guadalcanal.
