The @BaltimorePolice officers who killed #FreddieGray have asked for $75k+ in damages & may sue @MarilynMosbyEsq https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2075542-lawsuit-notifying-letters.html



...this is some Orwellian bull. A man in their custody suffered a horrible, violent death. There's not only an absence of remorse in this complaint, there's a lack of shame. It reminds me of Darren Wilson's non-existent injuries he and his supporters claimed Mike Brown inflicted on his face.

The entitlement that these cops are assuming is breathtaking. Now they're supposed to be immune from being charged and arrested? I hope this stunt buries them when they stand trial.

"Individuals lost their freedom and dignity and suffered physical and psychological harm from being arrested, detained, imprisoned, and assaulted without cause."

Now you know how it feels.

BUSTED, too. Frivolous lawsuit filed by someone with enough financial backup to throw sand in the gears of justice.

We don't have a justice system anymore. Its a game you play wth money to buy what justice you can afford.

It makes me physically ill to see them BUY their way out of facing the consequences of their fucked up decision making.

They need to pay for this out of their own pockets then. It needs to cost them millions if they can pay their way out of this mess.

Gang of cop thugs. They think they are the Sopranos dishing out street justice. We don't need cops for that.
Oh, yeah, that's right we have no system of justice. You just get murdered on the street by the extrajudicial forces in uniform, whom you must obey without question.

Is it any fucking wonder people run from them?
