No kidding? Lift the curfew and arrest as needed? Uh, who is going to tell LE what they are allowed to arrest for? They must be wondering by now.
Time for an upgrade? Jmo.

Of course it is not a color thing. It is an inner city thing. Problem is, in the US, our inner cities are predominately minority based. So it is hard not to mix it up.
He is the fifth NYC officer shot in 5 mos
I'm not saying anything regarding the stats - waiting for your promised link addition that the majority were armed. Seems to me that after a number of posts on the subject, you maybe cannot provide such a link. Jmo.
I can understand why you would not want to say anything about the stats I have linked. It shows that 99.95% of ALL the 98 million arrests they examined went off without a hitch. But you have nothing to say about that. I am not surprised. :no:
I'm not sure how this is going to play out, but there seems to have been an active arrest warrant on Freddie Gray.

There's a copy of the warrant at the link.
Law enforcement officers all over the country are quite disheartened by the SA's arrest of the 6 officers. It's really sad. I believe most people, no matter where they live, are law-abiding citizens and want police protection in their communities. The Baltimore government is working contrary to the needs and wants of the citizens. :moo:
I saw the interior of this Baltimore police paddy wagon on TV. It looked like the top inclines as most vans do and it would be impossible to sit up straight on those benches even if belted in. I have brittle bones and would be very uncomfortable sitting back there on a normal ride in those sideways facing seats. Would it cause a life-threatening injury? I really don't know. :moo:
So, I agree with whoever said to get rid of the vans. I also wonder if they have the same type of setup in the rest of the country. :moo:
That's what I am saying. Stop mixing it up. If you know it's not a color thing then what is with all this talk of statistics? Who cares? Get to the source of the damn problem and and start to fix it. Stop spending trillions going to war and spend some money building peace. It's not rocket science folks.
I concur, I think the sad truth here is that he slammed on the brakes to shut him up, got out peeked in saw him lying on the floor where he wanted him to be. I think there was a lot of coverup, which is why the others are charged. I think the takedown broke his spine and rough ride broke his neck, just imo
The part I was speaking of was running. If he truly had nothing on him but a legal knife then what could the cops have arrested him for? Instead he ran and then fought them...what the cops did after that is on them, but he had an opportunity that he did not take.
Do you have a link that states which race commits more violent crimes including the race of the victims? tia
Who has said anyone has a genetic makeup that makes them a gangbanger?
What do you mean we need to wake up quick, fast, and in a hurry? What's going to happen? Or else what?
Do you think there is going to be more murders or violent crimes? I'm not sure I understand what you mean by your last sentence.
who is making it a color thing? have you listened to any of the 'partiers' at the Baltimore celebration today? it is ALL about color according to many of the speakers. Even though 3 of the 6 arrested cops are POC.

o/t ?? Report that an officer was shot in the head in Queens, NY. He must have done something wrong!
Wow, I didn't know any of that Katy. I am saving your link for future reference. Thank you for posting it.
Did you read about the AA woman who shot at the two AA police officers in Atlanta? That story hasn't gotten much coverage though at all.
She was in the back of their vehicle and she had a gun and shot through the back glass toward the officers. She died and the officers weren't hit. Scary though.
I am even wondering if LE is worried now about even doing body searches thinking they will be blamed for something somehow.
IMO
If you really care about how folks in the inner cities live their lives , stop complaining about it and go befriend someone. Go be a mentor. Be a role model. Offer something. But complaining about and degraded people because of it is just being a part of this ongoing cycle.
(Not directed at you katy, I know you have done your part.)
i just got curious Police Commis makes 190K a year!

If it is true that at every arrest he acts out
I wonder if that is true - ? ...(snipped by me)

“Freddie was one of those ones where a lot of times, he would put on that show in the streets, but you would bring him into the station and he was a great witness,” the officer said.
