Baltimore Cops being charged with Manslaughter---WOW!

[trumad]

And a bunch of other charges....Holy crap---S.A throwing the book at them.

[Iliyah]

1. Here's hoping that the United States of America is still a land of rules and laws

for everyone.

[avebury]

3. I might believe it when and if they are able to

get some convictions.

[pinto]

31. Now it's up to a Grand Jury and a trial jury. The State's Attorney has done her job - well.

[chillfactor]

2. about time!

cops HOPEFULLY will pay for their criminal behavior!

[gwheezie]

4. warrents issued for their arrest nt

[avebury]

5. I am watching the SA on MSNBC now and I really

like her. She looks like she does not take any prisoners.

[OKNancy]

6. She's impressive

[cwydro]

23. Interesting that

she comes from a long line of police officers.

[pinto]

34. +1

[Gemini Cat]

7. GOOD!!

Now I want to see convictions!!

[BrotherIvan]

9. Exactly!

[madaboutharry]

8. One of the officers is being charged with 2nd degree murder. Just make people accountable.

That is what it takes.

[Robbins]

10. see america

This is what happens when you have a prosecutor who is intrested in doing justice not biased towards police.so unlike ferguson.

You want to stop riots and unrest act like this prosecutor.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

18. !!!

yes!

[IDemo]

11. Stay tuned for the sound of exploding heads all over the RW hemisphere today n/t

[KingCharlemagne]

12. I'll start believing there are good cops again when I see those six doing the

perp walk in the media glare.

Now who are the real 'thugs'???????

[MoonRiver]

13. No grand jury bs. She just cut to the chase.

Justice for Freddy!

[Orsino]

14. Hope there's plenty of evidence to establish exactly what happened.

If there are going to be conviction, please please let them be so clean that even Fox doesn't dare dispute them.

[H2O Man]

15. Ms. Mosby was amazing.

She is exactly the type of role model that I want my sons and daughters to see.

[karynnj]

16. She is impressive

[drray23]

17. lets hope this does pass muster with the jury

Thats a great first step. I am just hoping they will be able to make the charges stick during trial.
It would be a tragedy if all six walk free.

[world wide wally]

19. It's really amazing how this system CAN work when you eliminate the corruption

[malthaussen]

20. Second-degree murder for the van driver.

Possilbly a bit of scapegoating, there, if the stories about the police sending people on wild van trips through the city are true. Although it is surely a righteous indictment.

[Hawaii Hiker]

21. Here is list of charges for each officer

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/baltimore-unrest/freddie-gray-death-these-are-charges-6-baltimore-officers-face-n351921

Has anyone ever heard of 2nd degree depraved heart murder??...

[malthaussen]

22. Google is your friend

It's murder due to irresponsibility and negligence that shows "callous disregard for human life."

-- Mal

[calimary]

27. Well, THAT certainly seems to cover it. I love what Mosby said:

"Accountability. You're getting it today."

Evidently so!

She's quite impressive. I would not be surprised to see higher office in her future. Maybe several.

[malthaussen]

29. Deserved, yes.

Whether she will be elected or appointed, problematic. By her courageous act, she has just made herself the enemy of many entrenched and powerful interests.

-- Mal

[project_bluebook]

24. I wonder if the Baltimore police will do the type of "strike" that NYPD did

like, make less arrests, stop issuing tickets, ect... to protest the charges?

[Scurrilous]

25. K & R

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

26. Hope this leads to the total disarming.....

of all police departments.

Peace officers, not war officers.

[calimary]

28. Especially all their military surplus war toys.

Take their toys away! They CLEARLY do not know how to play safely with them. WWAMD. What would a mom do? What would that mom who yanked her kid forcibly away from the rioting do? Man, I would LOVE to see that!

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

33. Other countries get along just fine....

without thier police being armed. Google it, others, not you, calimary you seem to know.

There is no reason for our "Peace Officers" to be armed to the teeth as they are.

What the freaking hell are they afraid of?

True answer ....... I believe it's US!

[Sheepshank]

30. When I think of the suffering

this man endured...and the expand that to and entire race and socio economic group, my heart just breaks. What the hell have we allowed?

[pinto]

32. Great call from what I understand. And Attorney Mosby laid out the charges really well.

From start to finish in the whole course of events.
