The Ravens were already planning on playing to an empty stadium. Jimmy Clausen is starting.
And to the people who thought this was the most winnable of the cases - the trial of the driver of the van is probably the one that has the best shot of a conviction. I think this was tried first because they hoped to get him to flip on the other officers.
Thankfully they tried an black police officer first so the first trial isn’t racially tainted. But it’s pretty tough to cry racism when you have a racially diverse group of officers, a black mayor, a black prosecutor, and probably a mostly if not entirely black jury. The situation in Baltimore is not as much racism as it is a population vs. the police force (and the opportunistic members of the population that look for an excuse to loot).
Baltimore and Philadelphia, two cities to avoid.
Every time I drive past Baltimore I wonder what nice things there are to see. Then I imagine my face getting smashed because I’m white, and I hit the gas. So I have never gone there and I look very handsome with all my teeth.
