STUPID, STUPID POLICE IN BALTIMORE - JUDGE AS WELL



The June 24, 2016 Waterloo Region Record carryied another article on the Freddy Gray murder in Baltimore, Maryland. Oops it's not a murder according to police and a judge so far. One of the titles for this article was "Another officer acquitted in Freddie Gray case". In this case it was the police driver of the van who was acquitted of multiple charges including murder by a judge alone.

Freddie Gray was a 25 year old black man in good health when he was arrested , handcuffed and his feet shackled before being put into the back of a police van. Proper seating and a seat belt were mysteriously not provided to Mr. Gray who was then given a 45 minute "ride" in the back of the van. Apparently this kind of "ride" was not unique as there have been past complaints of intentional attempts to injure arrested and improperly restrained citizens. In Mr. Gray's case he died of a broken neck sustained in police custody. To date three trials of officers followed by three acquittals. And police and political authorities don't understand why they are held in such utter contempt.
