BALTIMORE Officers charged - one with murder

One Baltimore police officer was charged Friday with murder, three with manslaughter and two with assault in the death of Freddie Gray, who a prosecutor said suffered a broken neck last month when he was left shackled at the feet and lying face down in a police van by officers who ignored his pleas as they made their rounds.
The death of Gray, 25, on April 19 of injuries suffered a week earlier touched off peaceful protests that degenerated into a night of rioting, looting and chaos Monday. On Friday, a crowd gathered around State's Attorney for Baltimore Marilyn Mosby cheered as she said the police involved would be brought to justice in the incident. Mosby said the police had no basis for arresting Gray, and described a harrowing ride in a van driven by Police Officer Caesar Goodson, 45, who was charged with the most serious crimes, including second-degree murder.

"No one is above the law," declared Mosby, who said she comes from five generations of law enforcement and has been on the job for four months. Her husband is Baltimore City Councilman Nick Mosby, who has spoken out about the riots and anger in the city's African-American community.
"To those that are angry, hurt or have their own experiences of injustice at the hands of police officers, I urge you to channel the energy peacefully as we prosecute the case,"

Damn. Why couldn't this story have broken a week ago? Thousands of thug looters, I mean protestors, wouldn't have had to burn down their city.

only been on the job four months, Apparently has connections to the Gray family attorney
In an open letter today before Mosby's news conference, the Baltimore City Fraternal Order of Police asked Mosby to appoint a Special Independent Prosecutor.
"I have full faith in your professional integrity. While I have the utmost respect for you and your office, I have very deep concerns about the many conflicts of interest presented by your office conducting an investigation in this case," the statement read. "These conflicts include your personal and professional relationship with Gray family attorney, William Murphy and the lead prosecutor’s connections with members of the local media."

I'd like to know the ethnicities of the officers charged. All hell gonna break loose when the white officers are acquitted and black officers are found guilty
Posted on 5/1/15 at 12:57 pm to jbgleason
so if the officers are found not guilty will those riots pale in comparison to the most recent ones?

Doesn't that statement alone hint at some sort of bias?

Everyone is fixated on the severed spine, but I have yet to see an explanation about his crushed larynx. Maybe he did somehow sever his on spine on a bolt in the back of the truck, but how the hell could he have crushed his own voicebox too?

How many times is this thread going to be started today?

"There is no place in the Baltimore city Police Department" for officers involved in misconduct, racism and corruption, the mayor said. "There will be justice for Mr. Gray, there will be justice for his family, and there will be justice for the city of Baltimore."

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.
