    I hate to think what's going to happen if those police officers are found not guilty for the death of Freddy Grey!!

    There are stories on the local (Md) news stations, that he had back surgery several weeks before this incident, which may explain his injuries. There's also a story that another prisoner in the truck with him, heard him banging on the walls of the truck, like he was purposely trying to hurt himself.

    I guess it's not going to matter either way......especially when you think you're entitled to a free flat screen, or free food.

    We had to close one of our other stores early, 2 nights ago. Looting started up again. This store isn't even in Baltimore!! Scary thing is, it's less than a half hour from my store.

    Dear white Facebook friends: I need you to respect what Black America is feeling right now
    To those rushing to judgment about what's happening in Baltimore:
    Please stop and listen before you say any more

    Wednesday, Apr 29, 2015 06:00 PM CDT - Julia Blount


    Dear White America,



    It is somewhat strange to address this to you, given that I strongly identify with many aspects of your culture and am half-white myself. Yet, today is another day you have forced me to decide what race I am — and, as always when you force me — I fall decidedly into “Person of Color.”

    Every comment or post I have read today voicing some version of disdain for the people of Baltimore — “I can’t understand” or “They’re destroying their own community” or “Destruction of Property!” or “Thugs” — tells me that many of you are not listening. I am not asking you to condone or agree with violence. I just need you to listen. You don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to, but instead of forming an opinion or drawing a conclusion, please let me tell you what I hear:

    I hear hopelessness
    I hear oppression
    I hear pain
    I hear internalized oppression
    I hear despair
    I hear anger
    I hear poverty

    If you are not listening, not exposing yourself to unfamiliar perspectives, not watching videos, not engaging in conversation, then you are perpetuating white privilege and white supremacy. It is exactly your ability to not hear, to ignore the situation, that is a mark of your privilege. People of color cannot turn away. Race affects our lives every day. We must consider it all the time, not just when it is convenient.

    As a person of color, even if you are privileged your whole life, as I have been, you cannot escape from the shade of your skin. Being a woman defines me; coming from a relatively affluent background defines me; my sexual orientation, my education, my family and my job define me. Other than being a woman, every single one of those distinctions gives me privilege in our society. Yet, even with all that privilege, people still treat me differently.

    For most of my childhood, I refused to allow race to be my most defining feature. I actually chose for most of my childhood to refuse race as my most defining feature. But I found that a very hard position to maintain, given the way the world interacts with me and the people I love. Because I have to worry about my brother and my cousins getting stopped by the police. Because people react to my wonderful, kind, intelligent father differently, depending on whether he’s wearing a suit or sweat pants. Race has defined the way I see the world like no other characteristic has.

    And only in America could a city run by democrats in a state run by democrats for a century or more have its problems blamed on Republicans.

    ..

    and don't forget the lack of opportunities b/c our black president did away with their ability to choose the school their kids go to, that would affect the quality of education, and in turn affect the future of that child, and possibly of the family...

    ..

    Liberals are hilarious. Here they are blaming cops for the crimes of criminals and crying that blacks are more likely to be killed by police than whites. Blacks ARE more likely than whites to be killed by police and it's not because of racism. They either can't interpret the rest of the statistical narrative or are too lazy too (which would completely support my theory as to why most welfare recipients are Democrats). C'mon Libtards, do the math. I'll spell it out in simple terms.

    Not surprisingly the stats on "the likelihood" of any race being killed, combined with the stats on who is committing crimes, indicate a direct correlation between the rate of people within any race being killed by law enforcement and that race's participation in crime. For this reason statisticians and social scientists consider racial demographics a leading indicator of violent crime rates for any particular metropolitan area; the single best indicator (for crime projections and estimates) is the percentage of Blacks and Hispanics within a population. It is common knowledge among social scientists that crimes committed by Blacks are often committed against other Blacks.

    What is avoided in conversations in the media is that crime data in America shows 45% of Black crime is perpetrated against Whites and 10% is against Hispanic (the remaining percentage is against Blacks). Only 3% of violent crimes committed by Whites is perpetrated against Blacks. Of 770,000 interracial violent crimes (annually) Blacks commit 85% of them. Only 10% of youth gang members are Whites. Hispanics are 19 times more likely to be in a gang than Whites. Blacks are 7 times more likely to commit murder and 8 times more likely to commit robbery than any other race. Blacks are 3 times more likely to use a gun while committing violent crime than other races. Hispanics commit violent crimes at three times the rate of Whites. Asians commit crimes at ¼ the rate of Whites.

    There’s so much more data. I hope you will fact check me, to find out for yourself. A great book that analyzes American crime statistics is “The Color of Crime.” It is prescribed reading in many sociology and criminology classes. Liberals are always pushing for better education in America, but are perfectly content to get their own education from the media. What deformed logic.

    What happened in Baltimore is not a statistical anomaly by any means. People who study statistics of this nature are not surprised. The racial narrative in Baltimore doesn’t hold water. 50% of the Baltimore Police force is Black and Hispanic. The city is 63% black, so the number of blacks on the police force is not that far off from being representative of the city’s racial demographics. The Police Chief is Black, 60% of the Baltimore City Council is Black, and the Mayor is Black. Since the 60s Baltimore has elected Democrats to nearly every political office. This is not a picture of institutionalized racism, nor of Republican oppression of minorities.

    ..

    90 percent of the violent crime is black on black... since blacks are more likely to be killed by another black person than a white person this actually makes sense. Clearly blacks hate other blacks more than they do anyone of another race.

    ...

    This was from a Baltimore Native!!
    This is going viral so I copied it:

    "The CITY PAPER in the comments section:
    "Freddy Gray had a pre-existing spinal and neck injury and had severe damage and scar tissue from and accident that Allstate Insurance was paying him a large structured settlement. Freddy had several unsuccessful spinal fusion surgeries, his most recent spinal/cervical operation was a week and a half before he was arrested. Freddy should have been at home in bed resting and recovering from a recent major operation instead of manufacturing and distributing drugs on the streets and resisting arrest. Freddy has a criminal record pages long for manufacturing and distributing controlled dangerous drugs that were cocaine, crack, heroin, etc. along with many assault charges, gun charges, breaking and entering, and the list goes on since he was 18 years old (juvenile records are sealed). Look at some of this on www. mdjudiciarycasesearch. You will also see where he was trying to cash his spinal injury payments to one lump sum through Peachtree Funding. He could have easily fallen in the paddy wagon from the slippery bench to the floor or, twisted his fused spine to reopen his recently fused damaged spine. Also, the police that arrested him were also black, not white. Why are people destroying their own homes and revenue when they don't know the whole story? Mostly because it is a good reason and timing to loot and get new shoes and stolen goods? You got it! None of the police officers that arrested Freddy had a history of police brutality. Freddy was a dangerous career felon with a damaged spine and neck that was supposed to be home healing a week and a half after surgery, not running the streets committing felonies and resisting arrest."
    I grew up watching Baltimore and its surrounding communities become the beautiful City it is and it hurts to see ignorance ruin it. Stop the nonsense! I hope all that are "caught on tape" are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Life is what you make of it. If you are not happy with it, change it! A little hard work will go a long way. My prayers to the innocent citizens in harms way and to all the first responders trying to bring order back to Baltimore."

    ...

    moreover the attorney general said that she was indicting the 6 police officers because she heard the crowd so the 6 officers should apply for their appeal now being the chain of custody was broken with the evidence being it was scrutinized with a political microscope and not scientific.

    Mugshots of all six police officers charged in connection with the death of Freddie Gray have been released, at last putting human faces to the people whose alleged brutality led to the riots which shook the foundations of Baltimore and inspired marches of solidarity in cities across the country. Surprising many was that three of the six officers, including the only one charged with murder, are black. To mention race or not to mention race?

    I knew this the day Freddy was arrested. I was just waiting to see how long it would take the media to find out, and how long it would take for white people to burn down their neighborhoods.

    CNN interviewed a lovely young lady with impeccable enunciation, grammar, and diction, who enlightened us all on the many and various reasons why the respectable young people of Baltimore should be allowed to ignore the curfew tonight.

    (let me just clarify.... I know not all black people talk like that. My best friend is black, and she doesn't speak like that at all. And I know several white people who DO talk like that. It's not a race issue, it's laziness.)

    Freddie Gray’s knife did ‘violate a Baltimore code’?
    Problems surface in Marilyn Mosby’s case against 6 officers


    Posted at 7:10 am on May 5, 2015


    As reported last week, Maryland State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby indicted six Baltimore police officers for their role in the death of Freddie Gray, stating at the time that the arrest of Gray wasn’t legal because the knife he was carrying wasn’t actually illegal

    But…

    Investigators from the Baltimore Police Department are pushing back on what Mosby declared at her news conference and are saying that the knife was illegal and in violation of a “Baltimore code"

    From the Baltimore Sun: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/mar...ry.html#page=1

    Meanwhile, a police investigation continues as Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby builds her case. The separate investigations by police and prosecutors have some conflicting findings.

    While Mosby said Friday that the officers had made an illegal arrest because a knife Gray was carrying was not a “switchblade,” a violation of state law, the police task force studied the knife and determined it was “spring-assisted,” which does violate a Baltimore code.
    So one of the major pillars of the case is being questioned, but it’s being reported in 19th paragraph of an article about a different incident in Baltimore? What other discrepancies are there?

    And who is right?

    But this isn’t the only issue to pop up. It seems that Mosby’s office listed the wrong people in the arrest documents, leading to embarrassing calls from the media: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/mar...504-story.html

    From the Baltimore Sun: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/mar...504-story.html


    When charges were announced Friday against Alicia White for the death of Freddie Gray, her phone started buzzing from journalists and bail bondsmen.

    The problem was, they were calling the wrong Alicia White. The elementary school cafeteria manager from East Baltimore was not the Baltimore Police sergeant charged with manslaughter in the high-profile police custody death – even though court records listed her.
    And…


    An attorney for Lt. Brian Rice said his client’s information was also entered incorrectly when prosecutors filed charges, but declined further comment.
    On Friday evening, Tammy and Brian Rice of Brunswick, Md. said they were receiving multiple calls from reporters looking for the lieutenant. Brian Rice of Brunswick is a plumber, they said.

    The Baltimore Sheriff’s Office, which assisted the Baltimore State’s Attorney’s Office in charging the officers, declined to comment and referred questions to prosecutors, who could not immediately be reached.
    Amateur hour.
