Freddie Gray's Rap Sheet--Check it out --

[LtJim]

I had to put this out there folks for your review.

I am asking myself why the media has not been reporting on this?
Do you think there may be a trend here?
Do you think the 4 Month veteran Prosecutor may want to look at her Prosecutorial office???

Haven't you been keeping up? Getting killed by the police or dying while in custody absolves you of all your previous sins/crimes, and you instantly become someone who was turning your life around, was planing on being a better parent, student, make a contribution to society, and whatever else someone can dream up.

"What does it matter anyway?"

[LtJim]

Well it sure didn't take long for the race card to be thrown now did it ?

Let's throw the race card- that will make the police look bad because we all know that police are racists!

As for the UK Comparison - go sit down and have some tea while you and Pierce Morgan slap each other on the back and talk about the evils of guns in The U.S.

The audience you are attempting to sell your snake oil to simply ain't buying it.

Sorry commrades, the Lt. Is getting off the soapbox --

I'm sure glad

Disclaimer: Stupid civilian opinion here.

Gray's rap sheet is irrelevant. None of that justifies throwing him, bound, in the back of a van and driving in such a way as to inflict injury. Messages like this only serve to perpetuate the notion that Police Officers, in GENERAL, take the law into their own hands and mete out justice (which isn't the job of our Police Officers. Ya'll are Guardians...Protectors, not executioners). You're doing yourselves a massive disservice with stuff like this.

Its irrelevant to the case, that is a legal issue.

What it is relevant to is the amount of focus, righteous indignation, racial tension, and violence surrounding this case. This case should be fairly and calmly investigated, without police, racial or political bias.

Seems to me this is not happening, his records help bring this all back to earth and reality. The cops were not out to hassle some innocent man. Maybe someone did cross the line, if so likely the black police driver after he entered the van. Everything else looks like nonsense.

No. It absolutely doesn't.

There has been no official explanation from the prosecution as to how they believe Mr Gray sustained his injuries. Comments like "driving in such a way as to inflict injury" and "Ya'll are Guardians...Protectors, not executioners" just tend to serve to perpetuate an accusation that has yet to be made by the prosecution and the impression that Police Officers, in GENERAL, take the law into their own hands and mete out justice. You are doing yourself and the public a massive disservice by spreading speculation like this.

[Petro6golf]

Wait, but the news said the mean police picked a random black guy from the streets and murdered him. I thought he was on his way to church when the jack booted thugs killed him? You mean he has a lengthy criminal history of drug dealing and violence? This is so odd...........

[bonusweb]

No. It absolutely doesn't.

For those that are emotionally invested in feeling persecuted, I suppose not.

^^^Another stupid civilian opinion here.

Gray's rap sheet shows that Gray was in and out of the system several times each year and had a clear disdain for authority. He was not only a career drug dealer, he had committed assault and destroyed property.

As Gray was in and out of custody, he probably developed a sense of what worked and how far he could go with LE. Anybody with an IQ above 10 could clearly see that Gray was pushing his luck with LE on a daily basis. Unfortunately for Gray, his luck ran out.

LE is a simple numbers game. They encounter thousands of losers on a daily basis. Most of these losers walk away relatively unscathed. Every once in awhile, LE encounters a special loser that ends up on the losing end of a game of wits. The odds are 1 in several thousand. Gray was that loser.

Did LE go too far in dealing with Gray? Maybe.

Did Gray contribute to his own demise? Yep.

Save your tears for someone a little more worthy than Gray. He played a stupid game. He lost.

Pretty simple, Mr. Gray is/was a thug, he put himself in harms way that faithful day. Law abiding citizens don't commit crimes, don't run when they see the police and aren't know by the police as a criminal as I'm sure Mr. Gray was.
