6 Baltimore Cops Charged After MD Attorney Finds Them "Grossly Negligent...Freddie Gray's Death Was A Homicide" - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It appears the situation in Baltimore just got a lot more serious as MD State Attorney Marilyn Mosby states:

  • *CHARGES FILED AGAINST 6 BALTIMORE PD POLICE OFFICERS
  • *MARYLAND ATTNY: "WE HAVE PROBABLE CAUSE TO FILE CRIMINAL CHG"
  • *MARYLAND ATTNY: "GRAY'S DEATH WAS A HOMICIDE''

Furthermore:

  • *MARYLAND ATTNY: GRAY INDICATED HE COULDN'T BREATHE WHEN CUFFED
  • *MARYLAND ATTNY: GRAY HAD LAWFULLY POSSESSED KNIFE
  • *BALTIMORE CITY STATE'S ATTORNEY MARILYN MOSBY SPEAKS W/PRESS
  • *MARYLAND ATTNY: POLICE FAILED TO ESTABLISH PROBABLE CAUSE
  • *MARYLAND ATTNY: GRAY ILLEGALLY ARRESTED
  • *GRAY WASN'T SEAT BELTED WHEN PLACED IN POLICE WAGON
  • *MARYLAND ATTNY: GRAY HAD FLEX CUFFS PUT ON, NO SEAT BELT
  • *GRAY SUFFERED NECK INJURY AS A RESULT OF BEING UNRESTRAINED
  • *MD ATTNY: POLICE DIDN'T RENDER, REQUEST MEDICAL ATTN. FOR GRAY
  • *MD ATTNY: POLICE GROSSLY NEGLIGENT WHEN MAKING OTHER STOP
  • *MD ATTNY: GRAY UNRESPONSIVE ON FLOOR; MEDICAL HELP NOT PROVIDED
  • *MD ATTNY: 2ND DEGREE MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES, OTHERS, FILED
  • *MD ATTNY MOSBY APPEALS FOR PEACE

Mosby's announcement on the steps of the War Memorial Building was greeted with cheers and applause. She said she told Gray's family that "no one is above the law," and so as The Baltimore Sun details, the six Baltimore police officers involved in the arrest of Freddie Gray – who died last month after being injured in police custody – have been charged criminally, State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced Friday.

Officer Caesar Goodson Jr., 45, who was the driver of a police van that carried Gray through the streets of Baltimore, was charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, second-degree assault, two vehicular manslaughter charges and misconduct in office.

 

Officer William Porter, 25, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault and misconduct in office.

 

Lt. Brian Rice, 41, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault and misconduct in office.

 

Sgt. Alicia White, 30, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault and misconduct in office.

 

Officer Edward Nero, 29, was charged with second-degree assault and misconduct in office.

 

Officer Garrett Miller, 26, was charged with second-degree assault, misconduct in office and false imprisonment.

Warrants were issued for the arrest of all six officers. It wasn't immediately clear where the officers were on Friday morning.

Mosby said Gray was improperly arrested on April 12 because officers had no probable cause to detain him.

 

In a detailed recounting of the events, Mosby described Gray being repeatedly denied medical attention by police officers, even as he asked for medical help and later was unresponsive in a police van.

 

Gray suffered a "severe and critical neck injury" as a result of being handcuffed, shackled and being unrestrained in the van.

 

Mosby said an investigation found officers bound Gray's wrists and ankles and left him stomach-down on the floor of a police van as they drove around West Baltimore. Despite his repeated requests for medical attention, they did not provide it and continued to drive without securing him in the van, she said.

 

Officers on at least five occasions placed Gray in the van or checked on him and failed to secure him, she said. By the time they reached the Western District police station, he was not breathing and in cardiac arrest, she said.

 

Mosby said her office did a "comprehensive, thorough and independent" investigation that began April 13, the day after Gray was injured.

 

"My team worked around the clock, 12- and 14-hour days," she said.

Mosby called on the public to remain calm.

"I heard your call for 'no justice, no peace,'" she said. "Your peace is sincerely needed as I work to deliver justice on behalf of this young man."

Mosby -- who at age 34 became the nation's youngest chief prosecutor when she took office in January -- was raised in inner-city Boston and grew up in a police household, the Daily Beast reported. Both of her parents and one of her grandfathers were police officers.

I had to look it up. From Wikipedia:

Depraved-heart murder, also known as depraved-indifference murder, is an American legal term for an action that demonstrates a "callous disregard for human life" and results in death. In most states, depraved-heart killings constitute second-degree murder.[1]

If no death results, such acts would generally be defined as reckless endangerment (sometimes known as "culpable negligence") and possibly other crimes, such as assault.

Yes.  The trucks have seat belts to secure passengers so that they're not harmed during transport.  Cops are notorious for rough stops and gos, turns,m etc., to bang people around, thus the belts.  He was fine when arrested, into police custody.  While in custody his back was broken and he died.
QED
Not immaterial. 
Ergo, murder.
I'm glad of the finding.
People are not supposed to die in custody.... except places like Nazi Germany, Soviet Camps, etc. ....

Well quite possibly that 'witness' isn't really credible and maybe he says what someone tells him to in exchange for favors or gifts? He wouldn't be the first paid liar.

Regarding Gray's spine surgery/previous injury, I saw that too...but I don't think it's been confirmed yet...at all.  I'm sure that will be verified at some point IF that's the case.

IMHO, for whatever it's worth, maybe the worst part, other than the fact that Gray died obviously, is that it APPEARS the arrest was unlawful to begin with.

Not only that.

You can be sure that TPTB will give them cushy jobs immediately afterwards to show the rest of the pigs that, rest assured, you can keep doing your 'job' without ever really being punished for it.

This sudden promise of justice is CERTAINLY BS, because the whole system would fall apart if they were EVER to start punishing crooked cops.

Motherfucking TPTB NEED crooked cops, so as long as TPTB are in place, the cops will be the horrors they are.

BUT THAT BEING SAID: it seems like the fuckers are startin' to feel the pressure!

Probable cause, failure to retrain, withholding medical attention.

Don't see where the driver fits into that.

There is a lieutenant involved and clearly he is the most culpable.

You don't just "do this."

The driver is the only 1 charged with murder making it easy to beat because they will not be able to establish his intent to kill beyond a reasonable doubt. He cannot even see what is going on in the back...curious to see if any of the manslaughter charges stick.

Word of his murder got out, and it started a SHITSTORM.

The 'prosocuter' or whomever (it's a small club, and WE AIN'T IN IT!), filed charges according to a FAIRY-TALE of the deceased 'not being strapped in'. YES, the DRIVER of the van didn't commit the murder (he was driving the van). I consider it strange that NONE of the other occupants of this vehicle suffered as much as a SCRATCH on this ride that was supposedly SO VIOLENT that the deceased actually had his NECK BROKEN. I won't discuss the testimony about his windpipe being crushed, though. I think that one was leaked from the coroner's report, or something.

The real murderers, 'roided out sadistic thugs with badges and guns, are probably RIGHT NOW on PAID ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE (a paid vacation as reward for their heroic actions, at THE TAXPAYERS' EXPENSE). of COURSE, one or two might be singled out for token 'justice', just to try to make sheople THINK that the 'justice system works'. Black mark on a record, 'false arrest', something like that. Fines and maybe even a trip to 'Club Fed'.

This shit's been going on for decades, and getting incrementally worse each time. Every time they get away with it, they become MORE EMPOWERED, and the population becomes MORE COMPLIANT. Shoot a homeless unarmed civilian for no reason? get 'paid administrative leave'. Throw a flash-bang grenade in a baby's crib during a SWAT raid on the WRONG HOUSE (disfiguring the child for life)? The decision is that 'no wrong-doing occurred' (free pass).

Kill a young inner-city kid in the most heinous and violent way after a false arrest, by crushing his windpipe with a knee while wrenching his head until his neck snapped? What do YOU think will happen? I'll give you a hint. The Arabs are credited for inventing a whole number that is less than one, but more than negative one.

Of course, the CVS Pharmacy didn't do it, but the people who burned it down after looting it don't give a shit about that. CRY HAVOC, and LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR!

Knukles, please find the video of Grey being dragged to the Police Van with his feet scraping the pavement, unresponsive, and obviously in handcuffs, as the two police officers open the back door to the van and push him into the van. What I saw here in CANADA was an unresponsive, and obviously injured to a point of being unconscious, man in handcuffs, with two police officers dragging an unconscious man to his autopsy, and ultimate funeral. How could you possibly state that "he was fine when put into custody"? What-the-fuck are you talking about, Knukles? The video evidence shows that Grey was unconscious with his feet dragging along the pavement whilst the PIGS throw him into the van? Please realize that you are a popular poster that many on Z/H read, but you are wholeheartedly incorrect in what you are stating when you state that 'he was fine when put into custody'. Like Hell he was fine when put into custody, Knukles. The fucking dude was dead when they dragged him to the police van in cuffs. The van ride did not kill Grey. USE OF FORCE killed Grey.

I've seen that twice and it's hard to tell if he's dead, but he did look kind of limp, lifeless to me.

He definately wasn't resisting at that point, he needed help to get in the van.

Looks to me like his spinal cord injury happened before he was placed in the van.  It looks like a break between C3-C5.  At that level, your legs are gone, as well as your hands and most of your arm muscles.  Your diaphram can be totally paralysed or very weakened, which will severely decrease your ability to breathe on your own.  This is why Freddy asked for his inhaler.  He couldn´t figure out why he couldn´t breathe right, so he thought it was an asthma attack.  You can still move your head since the neck muscles will still be innervated, but since the cops had no clue what they were dealing with, his vertabrae was probably shattered and that is why he was yelling in pain. When they picked him up, his limpness alone should have been warning enough that something was wrong, but if your untrained, you just think the guy is being uncooperative so they dragged him and stuffed him into the paddy wagon. The unstabilized neck would cause the spinal cord to sustain even more damage from bone fragments with each additional movement and thus the injury proved fatal.  I´m wondering if Freddy wiped out on his bike and either hit the wall, or the sidewalk (the bike is laying down on it´s left side and there is a small cement wall close to it), or was manhandled and his neck was broken by one of the cops like during a choke hold.  The video starts a bit too late to make that determination.

The one you linked is the first one I've heard with sound.

It sounds like the camera guy is saying "tazed" but I can't tell. The cop giving him the finger was real classy.

Who ever is making the video clearly states that he was tazed and comments that this is the reason he can't walk. Further, if you watch the video, it clearly shows him STANDING on the back bumper and actually leaning down to enter the van, while looking back over his shoulder towards the camera. It is hard to believe he did all that with a broken spine.I don't see the cops in any way pushing or shoving Freddy. Its not like they "threw" him into the back of the van. They seemed pretty considerate in the way they were handling him. Further, there was a lot of comment by the prosecutor about how many times they stopped to check on him, while denying him medical attention. Are they suggesting that they deliberately abused him and denied him care, but still stopped to check on him several times? Is it their contention that the driver was just stopping to see if he had killed him yet? In my mind this is all bullshit.

There is lot here we don't know, but it does give us all a good chance to vent our biases.

Then there's the guy, Dante Allen, who we're told was also in the van saying no stops were made at all. He doesn't come across as a very stable individual.

Yeah, it's gonna be hard to be certain about the truth, ever, about anything...if you don't actually see it with your own eyes.

I think all this stuff we see in the fake news is all carefully designed chaos to drive us all mental.

On that note, my trailer is loaded with tools and I'm going out in the woods where it's unlikely I'll see anyone else all day.

Around here the detained are usually put in the back of a car.  On the way downtown, the officers sometimes perform a "screen test" if you have given them a hard time.  The person is handcuffed behind the back and no seatbelt on a plastic backseat.  There is a screen between the front and rear seat to separate the officer from the detained.  Officer speeds up, then quickly applies the brakes.  Voila, "Screen Test" with the detained individuals head and face testing the barrier separating the front seat from the rear seat...

It will be interesting to see how this all works out.  I think this is a 'Breaker Morant' situation and I think you have a young and very inexperienced lawyer filing the charges.  I think in the end all but one are exonerated, one gets a formal reprimand and no one goes to jail.  

For now they are trying to appease the masses.  What is undeniable is that there is a large group of people who feel that they are under attack from the police.  No one can deny those feelings.  What is also true is that those feelings eminate from twisting statistics and information to make it look like young black men are being systematically killed by police instead of showing that the incedence of death for these young men is completely related to the high levels of criminal activity and their direct response to police officers when confronted.  Liberals tell the story as if its a conspiricy to kill young black men.  There are bad cops, but not nearly as many as the left would want us to believe.

A hypothesis test is a one-way test. It NEVER "proves" innocent. It can only have one of two outcomes:

The Null Hypothesis is that the defendant is presumed Not Guilty. 

The Alternative Hypothesis is that the evidence is so overwhelming that "beyond a reasonable doubt" the Null Hypothesis is rejected and the defendant is then presumed guilty. 

In short, "Not Guilty" does NOT mean "innocent". It means the evidence was not strong enough, and consistent enough to presume the defendant guilty. 

Shit, what the hell ever happened to a basic civics 101 in this country? This crap keeps coming up on posts over and over and over again.

Interesting post. 

I would think that for a certain specific crime, it is actually possible to prove innocence, for instance by providing proof of an alibi.  But I understand the standard is presumed innocence and that needs to be disproven ( or not ).

The witness only corroborates that Freddy was flailing about. Probably trying to get a breath. The cops have a Seinfeld technique of "stopping short" with the vans to fuck you up.

Keep in mind 40 years ago they had the radio code of NHI (no human involved) for reporting ethnic crimes.

 

I wasn't there and I don't care. I've been beat up by cops and steer clear at all costs, to the point of getting an education and a job.

If that were true, then they wouldn't be pretending that his injuries were due to not having his seat belts on.  Its a coordinated story and ruse to cover up what really happened but still satisfy political interests.  You can NEVER rely on police testimony unless its corroborated with video.  No video - all lies to satisfy an outcome that they want.  Do you know any other entity that is allowed to investigate itself without generating a conflict of interest?
