I just switched it to Fox to see what's going on tonight.

They're showing the protestors in the street. There was a lady holding up a sign that said something about "black people" from "Baton Rouge to Baltimore".

The camera never showed it clear enough for me to pause and take a pic. I'm watching now to see if they show it again so I can take a pic of it.

Doesn't the DA have to prove the driver intended to injure Gray accidentally causing his deathand/or the driver's actions proved he didn't care about the life of Gray? That will be difficult

Yeah.

That's why it caught my attention. She had something about black people from Baton Rouge to Baltimore on one side and something else on the other side.

White poster board sign with black marker / sharpie writing. Nothing fancy.

I've been watching to see if they show it again. If I catch it, I'll pause the tv and take a pic.

I could never read exactly what it said.

Like I said, it had "black people" and "from Baton Rouge to Baltimore" on it, with some smaller writing that I couldn't make out.

I was hoping that they would show it again, but closer up.

I've changed the channel to the baseball game during commercials. I can't rewind it.

I heard an expert on NPR explain the murder charge they are using. It comes across as enhanced manslaughter. It is doing something that one knows is very dangerous and could reasonably cause someone to die but the intent to kill is not needed for this charge. It's weird.

This states attorney Marilyn mosby is way out of her league. She charged to appease the protesters and it will backfire when they are acquitted. Riots will be 5 times worst.

In reading this, which is either vague or I'm missing something, hard to imagine charging all these cops, if any charges should have been filed at all.

These cops will not be acquitted. The lesser charged will testify against the more guilty cops who will likely take plea deals.

There's also a difference between being acquitted and found not guilty FYI.

Way overcharged and the fact that the prosecutor has a relationship with someone who is on record as being very critical of the police undermines her integrity and ability to decide to proceed or not. A grand jury would of been more appropriate, yet the chance of not bringing charges would of been politically incorrect.
A local conviction on some charges likely, overturned by rational jurists later absolutely.

There were demands for justice by having the cops charged, and when the charges are brought, some see it as an injustice that the one with the most serious charges is black?


Nothing will ever be good enough.
