Baltimore PD Releases Charged Cop Mugshots; Attorney Says Case Is "Politically Motivated"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Following two weeks week of growing anger over the death of Freddie Gray which led to violent riots in Baltimore, and peaceful protests from New York and Philadelphia all the way to the West Coast, yesterday the state's Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby charged six Baltimore officers with Gray's death, leading to their prompt arrest, following by all just as quickly posting bail and being released. 

The Baltimore PD released their mugshots, which reveal a rather broad racial mix: three white, two black, and one Hispanic, officer Caesar Goodson, who incidentally as the driver of the police van, is facing the most serious charge of second-degree murder. To repeat, not what one would call a racially homogeneous group.

 

As noted previously, here is the breakdown of the charges against the officers:

  • Officer Caesar Goodson Jr. was charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, second-degree assault, two vehicular manslaughter charges and misconduct in office.
  • Officer William Porter, Lt. Brian Rice and Sgt. Alicia White were all charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault and misconduct in office.
  • Officer Edward Nero was charged with second-degree assault and misconduct in office, and Officer Garrett Miller was charged with those charges plus false imprisonment.
  • Goodson, facing the most serious charges, could potentially be sentenced to as much as 63 years of prison. The others face a max sentence of between 20 and 30 years.

They are scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing in Baltimore City District on May 27, at 1:30 p.m.

Mosby says the officers involved failed to get Gray medical help even though he requested it repeatedly after he was arrested April 12. She called Gray's arrest illegal, saying the switchblade he was carrying in his pants was actually a legal knife.

"I was sickened and heartbroken by the statement of charges we heard today," Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said. She added that there is no place for racism and corruption in the police department, and all of the officers have been suspended.

Gray suffered a severe neck injury inside of the police van and died a week later. The state medical examiner's office said it sent the autopsy report to prosecutors Friday morning. Gray's death was ruled a homicide.

Yet even this case could not avoid the taint of corruption and "political motivation": according to WUSA9 state Attorney Mosby rejected a request from the Baltimore police officers union asking her to appoint a special independent prosecutor because of her ties to attorney Billy Murphy, who is representing Gray's family. Murphy was among Mosby's biggest campaign contributors last year, donating the maximum individual amount allowed, $4,000, in June. Murphy also served on Mosby's transition team after the election.

As The Hill reports further, an attorney for one of the six Baltimore police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray on Friday suggested the case was politically motivated and cautioned against a "rush to judgment."

"I'm not going to get caught up into the politics. That's what's getting us, I believe, here today," said Michael Davey, who is representing one of the officers but spoke for all those charged.

"I believe that the publicity in this case is a driving force to a rush to judgment and causing this prosecution to move so quickly," he added.

Davey said the process of bringing the charges was too swift, criticizing Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby.

"In my 20-year career as a law enforcement officer and 16 years as an attorney, I have never seen such a rush to file criminal charges which I believe are driven by forces separate and apart from the application of law and the facts of this case as we've heard them," Davey said.

"Let me state in no uncertain terms that Lt. Rice and all of the officers involved at all times acted reasonably and in accordance with their training as Baltimore police officers," he added. "No officer injured Mr. Gray, caused harm to Mr. Gray, and [they] are truly saddened by his death. These officers did nothing wrong."

Gray, a 25-year-old black man, suffered a fatal spinal injury while in police custody, and later died.

Mosby's office alleges that Gray was fatally injured when officers restrained him — using shackles and cuffs — in a police van without strapping him in with a seat belt. Six officers have been charged on a range of counts, the highest being a second-degree murder count for the driver of the van.

Davey reiterated the union's support for appointing a special prosecutor in the case. Mosby rejected those calls on Friday morning, saying that a special prosecutor would not be accountable to voters.

Gene Ryan, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Baltimore City Lodge 3, was asked about reports that there is low morale among Baltimore police officers.

"I can tell you they're not happy," he said. "This decision to charge the officers is going to make our job even harder."

The Gray case has brought longstanding concerns about how police in Baltimore treat minority communities to national attention.  In New York, the NYPD turned their back on mayor de Blasio following the shooting death of two cops in December: it remains to be seen in the Baltimore police force follows in New York's footsteps and decides to "tone back" enforcement efforts for the next several weeks or months.

It would be the definition of irony if the min reason they are charged is because the cops didn't put a seat belt on him. The very same cops who will pull you over and write you a ticket for not wearing yours , and then beat, arrest, or kill you if you resist.

I love the narrative requiring the descriptor "racist" for the cops - yet 3 of these are minorities . . . so they are Blacks and (WHITE!!!) Hispanics who hate Blacks and (BROWN, YELLOW, BLACK, RED) Hispanics?

 

(THANKS New York Times are proving that Black Racism drives your content!)

 

They are obviously sacrifices to the mob. This is a modern-day lynching.

 

And did you see the mayor with Al (the old Black Racist Pig . . . ) and the Fox reporter?

 

That woman is on serious doses of psychotropic drugs - totally catatonic. Several way over-the-prescribed dosages of Xanax or (old-school) Valium.

Like I say, clusterfuck.  A guy died in police custody.  Accusations of racism fly, and riots occur.  Some of the cops being charged have the same skin color as the dude who died.  While it really does look like some police wrongdoing occurred, the prosecutions appear to be political in nature. 

 

To the folks in Baltimore:  Have fun with that.

A guy died in police custody.  Accusations of racism fly, and riots occur.  Some of the cops being charged have the same skin color as the dude who died.

And stating opinions that are not inconsistent with what we've been told.

While it really does look like some police wrongdoing occurred, the prosecutions appear to be political in nature.

 

We're so warped that those statements are controversial in today's society.  I'll say it again:  CLUSTERFUCK!

I am pointing out that YOU have absolutely no evidence of police wrongdoing, just like the racist negro state's attorney alleging felonies when she had the files less than 24 hours.

Agreed.  Many want to 'see the evidence first', or 'maybe he did it to himself' and you'd be surprised at how many believe that he did it to himself.  Gawd, who with a half a brain, would beat their head against the wall (as one guy on another forum suggested) to break three verterbrae?   And crush your larynx!  And later on, just because Freddie Grey didn't want to go to jail, he deliberately put himself in a coma!   And folks, that wasn't enough, fawk jail, I don' t want to go there!  So laying there in a coma, Freddie Gray checked out.

My take is the blacks and minority  have been so fucked with for year's that they would with good reason expect this to be a black issue.
It's more a them and us elite, who you can blame it on issue and the elite have all races in power in Baltimore.
Black police have no problem fucking with you for just being alive and walking or sitting.
And believe it or not.. it's the war everything "drugs,crime,whatever" to get some elected.

Relatives of Dondi Johnson Sr., who was left a paraplegic after a 2005 Baltimore police van ride, won a $7.4 million verdict against police officers. A year earlier, Jeffrey Alston was awarded $39 million by a jury after he became paralyzed from the neck down as the result of a van ride. … The most sensational case in Baltimore involved Johnson, a 43-year-old plumber who was arrested for public urination. He was handcuffed and placed in a transport van in good health. He emerged a quadriplegic.

Maybe there was local reaction to these incidents and maybe the police were prosecuted - but I did not see it in the news.

The only reason this case is being noticed and the officers prosecuted is due to the people in the streets.  If they simply worked within the system nothing would have been done.  I have not heard any of the msm outlets providing this info nor have any of the politicians, or the prosecutor.

Still this may be just another case where they drag things out and then after it's forgotten make an excuse to let the officers walk.  Although they may lose their jobs.

Notice these aren't true mug shots. Also notice they are not in uniform. The BPD has its scapegoats. I suspect what was done to Freddie Gray was called a "Joy Ride" back in the 70's when it was done to me. The intent is to punish with plausible deniability. The person is shackled hand and foot, put unrestrained in the back of the van and then the driver drives very fast over bumps and around corners. The person in the back, unable to properly brace themselves, is thrown around the inside of the van and beaten to a pulp. The message is recieved and the practice was well known in the 70's. I have no doubt it is still used today.

"dead eyes"  They are called Kung Po eyes or psychotic eyes.  Supposedly when you can see the whites of the eye between the iris and the lower lid and they are often bulging.  Of course you cannot rely on this to detect a psychopath but it is interesting how every mass shooter for a couple of years had the manson "psychotic eyes".  There is a saying in the equine world "never buy a horse with bulging eyes". 

Then again it could be a thyroid problem or psychoactive drugs.

I wonder if democrat controlled cities have cops that are harder on suspects because the cops know that the system will treat perps with kid gloves. Maybe there has to be a basic level of deterrence for the job of policing to be sane. If the city isn't providing enough deterrence with its prosecutions etc, perhaps police make up the difference.

Whats scary about the "public urination" charge is that you can be charged  and have to register as a sex offender if convicted of such an act.  Granted it may be rude and down right weird depending on location but to be charged as a sex offender for going to the bathroom by the side of the road?

Intentional rough driving.  Hard stops, hard turns, running over speed bumps and railroad crossings at high speed.  This is what you can expect if you give the cops a hard time (like making them run after you) during an arrest, or maybe they just get tired of seeing your ugly face.  Got a misdemeanor they know won't get to court?  Time for a ride in the van.  Standard practice in many jurisdictions.

Here's another police "technique" that went terribly wrong on more than a few occasions:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatoon_freezing_deaths

The takeaway from this is that even though the cops knew how these deaths occured, they kept right on doing it until finally someone got caught.

Here's the thing.  Even if you enter the force with best intentions, and would never personally engage in abusive behavior, sooner or later you're exposed to it and face a moral choice.  It's a career ender if you step up, since no one has your back from that point on.  So, your choice is to quit and retain your integrity, or go along and pretend there's a difference between the abusers and those who remain silent.

I have no idea about this author and no idea what he's trying to say. I did see an interview with supposedly Donte Allen and he claims the van didn't stop at all. He seemed a little bit seedy to me. I don't believe we'll ever know what really did or didn't happen. One way or another it will be a media circus.

The Donta Allen thing is cop misdirection. Donta came out and said he really couldn't tell what was going on in the other partition, and that the cops both manipulated and misquoted him.

And he was only picked up a few minutes before they got to the police station, this was AFTER they rode around making weird stops and such. Whatever they did to Gray wasn't done after Donta was picked up.

It doesn't matter but this is how Washintom post describes the second guy in the van, supposedly Allen. He's 22 yo and stole a cigarette.

The third stop was to put the other prisoner — a 38-year-old man accused of violating a protective order — into the van. The van was then driven six blocks to the Western District station. Gray was taken from there to a hospital, where he died April 19.

Et tu, Tyler? “The Gray case has brought longstanding concerns about how police in Baltimore treat minority communities to national attention.”

I can tell you what the Baltimore PD is going to do; it is going to pull back and not enforce the law, and probably completely overstate an apology for events of past years that never happened.

In rebuttal to the “longstanding concerns” I offer these comments picked up randomly from one site yesterday on the Internet:

42nROck12 1 day ago

Burning down and looting a cvs for this guy? Arrested 22 times, had lead poisoning as a child which led to many medical problems, and no video proof that the cops did anything wrong but there is video of cops doing the right thing. Why didnt these people record the beating if they claim they saw it? Now we dont know what happened in the van but the cops say it was self inflicted which isnt too hard to believe. These cops are innocent until proven guilty and there is no evidence against them. The only thing the cops did wrong was not provide medical attention in a timely manner and i guess they didnt put a seatbelt on him but that is slightly understandable considering he seemed okay going into the van. And if they were self inflicted than that is his fault anyways. Plus he ran from the cops like what do you expect to happen when you run from the cops. No evidence against the cops yet they are being crucified and baltimore is rioting smh. Until there is solid evidence of the cops wrongdoing i will continue to be astounded at how ridiculous these rioters are.

Seems like the media and NWO are pushing for a race war. This is nothing new. Police for years have been known to kill unarmed black men. First Trayvon Martin and than Mike Brown. Truth is you have thousands of Trayvon Martins every month in USA. There are thousands of similar cases that the media doesn't hype up. Blacks and whites in America both need to wake up and realize the elite is trying to instigate trouble.

I sympathize with police officers, especially those in a city like Baltimore. It's an extremely difficult job. And one of the most thankless. You have people shouting abuse at you as you try to do your job.

Yes, yes it is. Have you ever tried to subdue a person? It's hard to resist making it extremely effective and not at all dangerous assuming someone didn't just have spinal surgery. The officers involved though, had no way of know that detail..

Black Lives Do Not Matter To Many Blacks   Detroit, Philadelphia, D.C, Baltimore, Chicago... every single year, brutal young black men murder young black men by the thousands. Not the police.           Joseph
