yep, no crime, just militarized cops intimidating dissenters. No doubt the cops have all their names on file, and probably in the public record, so employers will not hire them.
scenario A: white people do something wrong
lets say white guy kills black guy. the pro-white side will always deflect to "but what about black on black violence"
scenario B: black people do something wrong
lets take the most recent riots, which are predominantly black. the pro-black side starts deflecting to "lets talk about white riots"

BALTIMORE (AP) — Police completed their investigation into the death of Freddie Gray a day earlier than planned Thursday and delivered it to the chief prosecutor in Baltimore, who pleaded for patience and peace while she decides whether to bring charges.
The deputy commissioner also revealed a new detail that raises still more questions about what the officers involved have told investigators: He said the van carrying Gray to the police station made a previously undisclosed stop that was captured on video by a "privately owned camera."
A grocery store owner told The Associated Press later Thursday that it was his closed-circuit security camera that provided the recording. Speaking in Korean, Jung Hyun Hwang said officers came in last week to make a copy, and that the only other copy was stolen, along with his video equipment, when looters destroyed his store Monday night.
He told the AP that he didn't see what the recording showed of the police van on April 12.
State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby must review the evidence, consider charges and decide how to move forward in the death of Gray, who suffered severe spinal injuries at some point after he tried to run from police on April 12, and died a week later.
Police Commissioner Anthony Batts took no questions and provided no details about the report, which he said represents the work of more than 30 investigators. Questions about the case must now go to Mosby, he said.
"I understand the frustration; I understand the sense of urgency," Batts said. "That is why we have finished it a day ahead of time."
Batts said his officers would keep probing at the direction of the state's attorney, while Mosby stressed that her office is doing its own investigation.

"We are not relying solely on their findings but rather the facts that we have gathered and verified. We ask for the public to remain patient and peaceful and to trust the process of the justice system," her statement said.
Batts left it to Deputy Commissioner Kevin Davis to release yet another official timeline of what happened to Gray after his arrest nearly three weeks ago.
In all, the previously undisclosed stop now makes four stops between the time officers arrested Gray and his arrival at a police station, where he was found unresponsive. He was hospitalized in critical condition and died a week later.
Batts and Davis said nothing more about when or how investigators obtained the previously undisclosed video or learned about the additional stop. However, five of the six officers gave statements to investigators the day Gray was injured, and as recently as a week ago, the stop was not part of the official timeline, suggesting investigators learned of it later.
Gray was arrested after he made eye contact with an officer and ran. Officers chased him down and handcuffed him behind his back. Bystander videos recorded police loading him, dragging his legs, into one of two metal compartments in the back of the van.
Police earlier said the van stopped once so that officers could put Gray in "leg irons" because he had become "irate;" stopped again because the driver asked for an additional unit to check on Gray's condition, and then again to put an additional prisoner in the van's other compartment before arriving at the station.
Now police are saying an additional stop was made before the driver asked officers to check on his condition. They said nothing about this stop other than its location — a desolate intersection where the grocery store is surrounded by vacant lots.
Last week, Batts had said the second prisoner told investigators the driver did not speed, make sudden stops or "drive erratically" during the trip, and that Gray was "was still moving around, that he was kicking and making noises" up until the van arrived at the police station.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake sought to dispel any notion that the police report would bring a swift and public conclusion to the case. "Whatever time the state's attorney's office needs to make that determination, the family wants to get it right," she said Wednesday after meeting with Gray's family and legal team.
"This family wants justice and they want justice that comes at the right time and not too soon," said Hassan Murphy, one of the family's lawyers.
Meanwhile, protests over Gray's death spread Wednesday night to other cities including Boston, New York and Washington, making it clear that tensions over the case are far from subsiding. The demonstrations were mostly peaceful, but police made many arrests, including at least 60 in New York.
Gray's death was only the latest high-profile case of a black man dying as the result of a police encounter. Similar protests erupted over the killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri; Eric Garner in New York last year, and Walter Scott in South Carolina. Scott was shot in the back by a white officer who has since been charged with murder.
Sources told a Baltimore television station that the medical examiner found Freddie Gray died as a result of slamming his head against the inside of a police van, breaking his neck, Reuters reported Thursday.
The local ABC affiliate reported sources said the medical examiner’s report, contained in the police report handed over Thursday to the state attorney, found Gray’s wound was consistent with the bolt inside the back of the police van.

A number of criminologists believe police homicides are near their nadir. In New York City, for example, 91 people were fatally shot by police officers in 1971 — and a record-low eight in 2013, the last year for which figures are available. In Los Angeles, officers used "categorical" force — gunfire, chokings and other violence that could lead to death — in 84 of nearly 149,000 arrests in 2012, down 17 percent in seven years.

cue Boutons saying the medical examiner and police are lying.
cue the usual dumbasses that ignore the conflict of interest inherent in LEOBR granted extra right justifying skepticism in any case.
the police for sure, and "their" prosecutors, too, the police's medical examiner, why not? the more lies, the merrier
"the teachers fault"
At Last Night’s Solidarity March, the NYPD ‘Came Out Swinging’
Given the NYPD’s pervasive lack of transparency, there will probably never be a public accounting of why they so dramatically shifted gears last night in deciding to aggressively corral, arrest, and terrorize demonstrators marching in solidarity with the protests in Baltimore.
Last night’s emergency march was organized by the Justice League and other groups to respond both to the death of Freddie Gray at the hands of police and the aggressive and demeaning response of Baltimore’s political and police leaders. The crowd of several thousand was racially diverse and included families with small children and the elderly. Given the police handling of previous protests on this issue the crowd assumed that a march would be allowed despite the threatening tone set by the NYPD through leaflets and announcements ordering people to stay off the streets.
According to National Lawyer Guild member Gideon Oliver, quoted in Gothamist, the police were well aware that people intended to march in the street regardless of police threats and that the police were given every opportunity to arrange a march restricted to one lane of 6th Ave. The police adamantly refused, setting the stage for a major and totally unnecessary and avoidable confrontation.
As demonstrators moved out of Union Square and into the street, they were immediately confronted by hundreds of police who pushed and shoved them, knocked people down and arrested dozens. Families with children were terrified and attempted to flee the scene. Dante Barry of Million Hoodies tweeted: “I watched 10 year old scream for his life last night in fear that the NYPD would kill him while protesting. Never forgetting that moment.”
Journalist Rashad Drakeford reported, “They were pushing kids and knocking women in the head with nightsticks. One mother came over to us with her young son asking for protection because the cops were literally pushing and knocking down kids in the crowd. Her son couldn't have been over 13 years old and was in tears and I mean bawling, uncontrollable tears. He just stood behind his mother as she tried to console him.”
Russell Simmons’s political director Michael Skolnik was clearly shaken by the police response, tweeting: “I've protested my whole life in NYC. Anti-war, immigration, climate, anti-police brutality marches... Never seen anything like I saw tonight. The@NYPDnews was completely different force tonight than during all of the marches in December and January. They came out swinging…”

ahhh. BabyBoutons shows up first.
Cue the usual dumbass that assumes LEO's are lying even though they know everything they do will be under a microscope by the State and the Justice Department.
where are the riots?
OFFICIALS: MAN WORDLESSLY, BRUTALLY STABS OFFICER 14 TIMES AT SW HOUSTON WALMART
A 23-year-old man now stands accused of attempted capital murder of a police officer. Jeremiah Matthews allegedly stabbed an off-duty HCC officer worker an approved extra job at the Meyerland Walmart.
The attack happened early Tuesday morning, long before dawn. Officer April Pikes was said to be standing near a check out register when her attacker pulled out a knife and stabbed her 14 times in the chest and abdomen.
Pikes screamed, heads turned and then several men ran to her rescue.
Abe Baker was among them. "He was holding on to the knife in one hand and trying to grab her gun with the other. I got the knife away from him. It just happened so fast."
Baker said the attack came without warning. "He was smiling and whistling right before it happened. I don't know if he had a thing against police... but I had to do something."
Pikes was badly injured. She had been stabbed several times, causing blood loss. She underwent a six-hour surgery, and was said to be conscious Tuesday afternoon.
A spokesperson for Houston Community College said she joined the system's police department three years ago and has been assigned to the patrol division.
The question now is why the attack ever happened.
Matthews, according to his family and their spokesman, Deric Muhammad, said he has no criminal record. He moved to Houston from Louisiana four years ago.
Muhammad said Matthews had "a diagnosed mental condition in the past. Whether that played a part in this, I do not know."
Matthews' mother went to HPD headquarters to speak to investigators. She spoke to reporters before, addressing April Pikes and her family.
"As a mother it's painful, I wish that family a speedy recovery and my thoughts and prayers are going out to her and her entire family."
Matthews is being held in jail, without bond.
FIFYBy the way you never answered what le I changed. What the were you even talking about?
Hey did Shaun King ever get to the bottom of that CointelPro plot against Michael Brown?

Freddie Gray’s Injury and the Police ‘Rough Ride’Freddie Gray’s Injury and the Police ‘Rough Ride’
In Baltimore, they call it a rough ride. In Philadelphia, they had another name for it that hints at the age of the practice — a nickel ride, a reference to old-time amusement park rides that cost five cents. Other cities called them joy rides.
The slang terms mask a dark tradition of police misconduct in which suspects, seated or lying face down and in handcuffs in the back of a police wagon, are jolted and battered by an intentionally rough and bumpy ride that can do as much damage as a police baton without an officer having to administer a blow.
The exact cause of the spinal injury that Freddie Gray suffered while in police custody in Baltimore before his death on April 19 has not been made clear. The police have said that he was not strapped into a seatbelt, a violation of department policy. That has led some to wonder whether he was deliberately left unbuckled, reminiscent of a practice that while little-known has left behind a brutal, costly legacy of severe injuries and multimillion-dollar settlements.
The tradition was regarded as a technique by aggressive officers to inflict punishment on those they arrested without ever being accused of physically assaulting them with their weapons or hands. For a suspect with hands cuffed behind him, seated on a thin bench in the back of a speeding police van, a sudden stop or a sharp turn or a bumpy road can do as much damage as a physical assault.
For example, in June 1980, Freddie Franklin was walking on 75th Street on the South Side of Chicago with a friend when, he claimed, a group of police officers wrongfully arrested him, placed him in handcuffs and forced him into the back of a police wagon. He landed face down on the floor of the vehicle. Two officers drove the van recklessly and erratically, in order to throw him around the floor of the van, he claimed in a federal lawsuit. According to court do ents, by the time Mr. Franklin arrived at the police station, he lay bleeding, after biting off his lower lip.
In the Chicago case, Mr. Franklin was black, as were the two officers who were driving the van.
At least two other Baltimore men, Jeffrey Alston and Dondi Johnson, were paralyzed after police van rides in two separate cases that led to lawsuits. Mr. Alston, paralyzed from the neck down, settled for $6 million in 2004.
In Chicago, the American Civil Liberties Union represented Mr. Franklin in the federal lawsuit that he filed against six police officers, alleging civil rights violations and injuries that required him to undergo two reconstructive surgeries on his mouth. The city settled the case for $135,000.
And although the city’s lawyers denied the officers had given Mr. Franklin a rough ride, the case caused Chicago police officials to stop using wagons to transport suspects and use squad cars instead, said Edwin C. Yohnka, a spokesman for the A.C.L.U. of Illinois. The same year Mr. Franklin was injured, another handcuffed man suffered a broken neck after he fell off a bench in the back of a police van after the vehicle made a sharp turn. He won a $900,000 settlement.

From the video, it sure looks like his legs were already dead, being dragged like a rag doll. Probably kicked in the back, or an illegal choke hold to collapse the trachea and including violent twisting or jerking his neck.
In any case, his spinal cord severed, trachea collapsed while in cop custody
When he gets a cooldown period and a limited investigation into his crime you let me know.
what difference does it make?
What does my change of a le have to do concerning this thread? Or concerning anything at all? You are off the deep end dude.
Nice thread btw. You're narrative is strong and you look very cool.
If we are now judging a thread's success I've clearly got you beat in that category.
