Don Lemon was absolutely crushed by this Sheriff :lol:

Here you have a black man elitist trying everything he can to shut down a sheriff schooling him to the point he does what all liberal do, begins to belittle and talk down to you. The sheriff, an expert in the field mind you, has experience and years of knowledge. Don on the other hand can't even denounce the hateful rhetoric :howler:
that guy is great

Sheriff: "Every time you don't have a response to something I say"

The guy is one point though.

Don Lemon :lol:

BLM openly call for the killing of cops but they're apparently peaceful and not hateful :lol2:

US Media pusing for a race war :sergio:


The only issue with BLM is that they are being one sided, instead of focusing on the main issue, which will make things even worse.

Well there you have it. Last officer in the Feddie Gray case found NOT guilty. :tup:


Nothing like creating an absolute shit storm for nothing. :touched:

Watch what the BLM reaction will be: more looting? violent protests? stopping traffic?
I haven't been following this case much, but:

On April 12, 2015, Freddie Carlos Gray, Jr., a 25-year-old African-American man, was arrested by the Baltimore Police Department for possessing what the police alleged was an illegal switchblade.[2] While being transported in a police van, Gray fell into a coma and was taken to a trauma center.[3][4] Gray died on April 19, 2015; his death was ascribed to injuries to his spinal cord.[4] ...

... The medical investigation found that Gray had sustained the injuries while in transport.[8][9] ...
Clearly it's not okay for a person to die while being transported by the police. What was the explanation?

Sure. But for the officers to be titled as racist or the death racially motivated before the facts were even presented in court. Their reputation and career destroyed in the process. That's not ok. And it's not ok for the president and his posse along with the media to jump on that bandwagon before the evidence is even presented.

You know what's funny? how the armed forces in this country are so revered but cops get no respect and are always shitted on for doing a tougher and imo more meaningful job. Idiots.
Absolutely

Probably more gross negligence than anything. They've been unable to prove malicious intent.

True dat. They get honored days on the national calendar and at sporting events and are encouraged to be thanked for their service.

Cops? Not so much.

And it's not as if the military hasn't killed more than their fair share of civilians either...

I wouldn't be able to say they were racist. But clearly they did something very very wrong here. At the very least, they're pretty damn bad at their job.

Unable to prove maybe. But the very fact this guy is dead proves it must have been there. People don't just die like that. We had a similar high profile case in Belgium btw. Some dude high on metamphetamines was arrested and they beat him, supposedly to contain him, only to have him die from the resulting injuries.

Well, those guys fucked up. Maybe it was an accident and they don't need to go to jail. However, police officer or no, there's nothing wrong with being punished or losing your job if you fuck up big time.

The problem is this guy is dead though. If you are responsible for someone's death, jail time should definitely be on the cards. Especially considering how easily people are effectively jailed in the US as a country.

Someone needs to be held accountable for the safety of people brought into custody, no question. Whether that constitutes criminal negligence is another matter, which is why the courts are involved.

I think that most of the police involved in these incidents should at a minimum be suspended and retrained or taken off the streets if not fired. Even in cases where the shootings are somewhat justified there was a mistake made that led to an escalation that resulted in a death. If a brain surgeon screws up they are a minimum sued, at maximum lose their license to practice medicine. Why should police avoid real world repercussions for their actions?

At a minimum, there maybe should be a point-person fall guy in charge of the safety of an apprehended person. If you don't make it someone's job, stuff doesn't happen or people are encouraged to be careless.
