Freddie Gray's Death Ruled a Homicide; 6 Officers Charged!

a reply to: IAMTAT

Man Breitbart comments are the best, well not really...

People in there were not happy he made these comments, and they all are still talking as if gray had a previous injury once they actually got around to discussing gray.

What that means, that he had an outstanding warrant anyway?

If true, it would indicate the officers had probable cause to arrest him...contrary to what the State prosecutor said.

But in my opinion Cesar Goodson will not be one of those defendants.

I think you're right. LOL

Baltimore Police Department booking photos of officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr. (left), officer William G. Porter (center), and Lt. Brian W Rice (right). They are three of the six Baltimore police officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray.

Ultimately, somebody's gonna take the rap for these shenanigans. The irony of a black guy taking the fall is not lost on me.

What concerns me is the overall attitude amongst the PD. And ... how many more times the Obama administration is gonna be able to pull this off across the country.

Here's a thought, if Freddy Gray was in fact a informant. Will the gang members have to change their slogan in order to protest?

Or do snitches really deserve stitches?

So long as its thug on thug crime then its acceptable?

Gray tested positive for heroin and marijuana.

I knew he was hopped up.

Both of which aren't exactly stimulants.
Did he say if it was enough to show impairment?

Also would it change anything if he was?

Are you ready to take that as fact already?

It can be in your system without being hopped up you know.

So Officer Goodson was the van driver and the man with the most serious charges against him??

a reply to: marg6043

In the first part of the post, I believe they belong to an union and I think that is how the bail was paid so fast, I think

That possibility was one I alluded to when the possibility of bail was first brought up.

The second one I am still wondering which charges will stick and which ones will be throw out.

If no deal is reached and the charging document and the probable cause affidavit are good. (which I suspect is the fact)

The only way the charges could be thrown out is by judicial acquittal on certain charges in the process of the trial.

Not to say that their attorneys couldn't convince a jury and they could all be found not guilty.

Correct..

As the van driver he is charged with 2nd degree murder.

He didn't detail the amount of the drugs found in his system...just quoting the toxicology report.

Wow. I have no idea what will happen if HE goes down for this...and the others get off.

Hopped up! LOL You gotta stop watching "Reefer Madness"!

Gotcha, anything on the source of the info?
Oh and to answer your question about bonds, there is bail bonds places out there so I would assume they would be able to do the type of bond you were talking about.

From what I understand from what I read. Mr. Gray had 3 Separate Court cases pending. Which could explain the allegation of why he was working as a informant.

One thing to consider...
IF he truly WAS seen engaging in a drug deal before police picked him up...and when they picked him up, he had no drugs in his possession...Isn't it conceivable that he ingested the drug just before he was picked up?

Maybe unless of course you are the thug he is snitching on.

Oops damn the political correctness I use the word thug when I should've used the phrase under educated with no job opportunities disenfranchised African American citizen.

He just said he was an officer privy to the actual toxicology report.

a reply to: IAMTAT

Sure, I am not trying to say that he wasn't under the influence.
Just there is more to that info that needs to be brought to light.

But if that was the case and it was heroin, he wasn't thrashing around.
Again, not exactly a stimulant.

I believe that is called the Rodney Dangerfield defense.

In a routine, Rodney Dangerfield claimed he was ask if he ever smoked marijuana. He said he replied to the judge honestly, " yes Your Honor but I had no idea what I was doing because I was all #ed up on coc aine at the time".
