Local Before Gray Arrest, Prosecutors Called For More Cops

 
BALTIMORE (AP) — Lawyers for six Baltimore police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray demanded the removal of the city’s top prosecutor from their case on Tuesday, saying she was the one who asked for “enhanced” police attention at the intersection where they encountered the young black man.

An email sent to police weeks before Gray died from the spinal injury he suffered in police custody shows State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby has a conflict of interest, the attorneys argued, because she had wanted police to target North Avenue and Mount Street, the intersection in West Baltimore where Gray ran from police on April 12.

The defense motion filed Tuesday says Mosby “is now an integral part of the story … both as an advocate and a witness.”

Officers caught up to Gray two blocks away, restrained him and put him in a police van that made several stops before reaching the station roughly 45 minutes later. By then, he was unresponsive, and died after a week in a coma.

Cops should think twice about confronting suspects... You can only beat us and shoot us in the back for so long before we will fight back, and if I were you I would take a hard look at that as cops...

If these dumb ass people decide to actually stand up for their rights, the citizens out number you and can take you out... If they realized that together we stand or united we stand vs if you stand by yourself you will fall...

Just like in McKinley Texas, where that cop beat down a young girl, and then pointed a gun at a crowd of young teenagers who probably where no older than 12 or 13... IF you cops are that much of a pussy you have to waive a damn gun around and point ti at young kids, you deserve and bad stuff that happens to you... I suggest you grow some balls and use the training they gave you instead of always going for your gun...

And you cops wonder why people hate you and don't like you... And when some people want to harm you... You are corrupt, the judges and DA and lawyers are corrupt, who do you tune to when the system meant to stop this won't or can't??? When all has lost hope where do they turn and to whom??? I mean you shoot people in the back like a coward because you are to fat and fucking lazy to chase someone or to call another cop to use a car to chase him or her down...

If you acted towards the citizens as you do for each other on the force, things would be different, instead you shoot someone in the back like a coward, you let them bleed to death, until you get 20 other cos to show up to stack on each other to shoot the guy if he moves... Seriously you need 20 cops to have guns pointed at a dead guy in which once you get to him, you hand cuff him knowing he is dead????

I can't wait until the govt try to take our guns, you will be the first to go and since you say your life is worth more than the average citizen your supposed to protect, thought we know there is laws stating that you do not have to, is your life worth more than a politician ordering you to do all of this? is your family or friends lives worth all this crap you are doing?

If you read history or know anything about it, you would know as cops, once the govt is done using you to oppress people, they come after you next, oh wait, they already are coming after you... geee who would have thought...

Re.: Texas pool party. You need to check out the full story, not what is being fed to you. Media & participants are trying to make it race related, when it isn't. The police were called to disperse an unruly crowd that was illegally using the community pool and had refused to leave. Using this as an example simply proves how uneducated people are about these incidents; enough of the knee-jerk reactions! Not all LEOs are good, nor all bad.

Doesn't fit in with the Marxist's ambition to have a National Police Force that he controls

9:52-Stop youR lying. That cop never pointed his gun at anyone in TX. He pulled it out, and held it pointed down and then just as quick put it back in his holster.
This is the problem with you people. All you know how to do is lie. Your mother needs a foot shoved up her butt so far until she chokes on it for raising such a liar like you and then you go spreading the lies. Or maybe if she's already dead she will be in hell where you are going for your lying. What a disgrace you and your family are.

The cops need to continue doing what they are doing and just answer calls and not being proactive. Let them kill each other. Let them die from overdoses and dirt bike crashes whatever.
These people deserve nothing more but to continue to wallow around in their filthy poverty stricken crime filled neighborhoods.
They are beneath LE and not worthy of LE's protection and presence.
