Six police officers have been charged in the death of Freddie Gray, Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby said today.

One officer -- the driver of the police van -- has been charged with several counts, including second-degree depraved-heart murder. Another officer has been charged with several counts, including manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter. Two other officers have been charged with several counts, including involuntary manslaughter. And two officers are charged with several counts, including second-degree assault.

Finally a prosecutor did her job, let it go to court.

How many more r**ts will happen now because the cops were wrong? Probably many until the cops are all found guilty. the prosecutor in other cases also did their jobs, you just don't agree with their conclusions, so you claim they did not do their jobs. Typical "progressive" approach.

As in this case, the police selectively leaked false info to bolster their case while suppressing evidence of innocence. There was no prior spinal surgery, there was no statement by another prisoner about Gray banging around in the van. This prosecutor was young enough to not be corrupted by the system. This was an independent investigation. That is what is needed in all police cases.

I agree. Allowing these law enforcement agencies to police themselves is allowing the fox to guard the hen house. About time some of these psychos were given their day in court. As citizens are we not told time and time again: "if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear from the court?" Perhaps, this will drive home the idea that your uniform does not place you above the law.

What I don't understand is why the good officers can not understand by protecting these murders, you are making your job more dangerous. When the majority of people fear the police more than they fear the criminal, what do they think the out come will be?

This is a travesty. Social justice driven by the liberal political agenda. One more foot through the door to nationalize the nation's police.

The blue wall protects the guilty and punishes those who try to do the right thing.

What murders are you talking about? So far all I've seen are charges being brought against six Baltimore LEOs for alleged crimes. They will have their day(s) in court, during which time it might well be shown that they are innocent of those charges. Is that not how our system is supposed to work? Or are you only going to be satisfied (as was the case in Fergeson and the Trayvon Martin case) with a guilty verdict based on YOUR opinion? I don't trust this so-called "young prosecutor" any more than I trust the mayor (backed by the WH, Valerie Jarrett and Al Sharpton) to be impartial; the city is a bastion of hard left Democrats and liberal ideology. Probably get a fairer shake in a Moscow courtroom!

Agree!

Why is it we believe so called criminals get a fair trial but police officers can not? Police who k**l citizens when it is not a matter of self defense are murders. I do not want to live with the SS.

I never said any case should be based upon my opinion. I said give them their day in court. You do not trust the prosecutor and I do not trust the police. So take these cases to court and allow 12 members of jury to decide. Why should they get special treatment?

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

There are questions about this that will never be answered honestly.

Why was the Baltimore mayor in close contact with Valerie Jarret from the moment this event began?

Why was the ME's original findings of accidental death suddenly changed to these criminal charges following Sharpton's meeting with the state attorney?

Does anyone recall Obama's 2008 speech in which he announced that we could no longer depend on our military and we need a National Civilian Security Force? One just as well funded and well equipped?

We are watching the l**ting of our justice system, another step on the ladder to a police state.

Baltimore Police Just Arrested Man Who Filmed The Freddie Gray Arrest
April 30, 2015 9:19 pm•

Kevin Moore filmed the police brutally arresting Freddie Gray. That footage went v***l and began all of the protests that have been flooding the streets of Baltimore and sweeping the nation ever since. Now, after claiming the police had been harassing and intimidating him after he went public with the footage, Kevin Moore and two members of Cop Watch, have been arrested tonight.
Moore said on Saturday that he is the man who filmed the arrest, but he was concerned that his name and image had been released. No sooner than they were, the harassment began.
“What is so important that you have to plaster my picture over the Internet? I’ve already spoken,” Moore explained.
Shortly after Moore filmed his arrest, Gray, 25, was suffered a spinal cord injury in police custody on April 12th, and died a week later.
Moore explained that he had already spoken at length with two detectives in the Police Department’s Office of Internal Oversight and given them his video of the incident. But the police posted his photo and told the public that he was “wanted for questioning” and asked people to identify him.
But they already knew who he was. What were they trying to prove, or was this all about harassing him?
Tonight, the Baltimore Police answered that question for us. They arrested Kevin Moore who was with two members of Cop Watch.
Moore explained that Gray was a friend of his and he has to speak up.
What can you to do help Moore, Chad Jackson and Tony White who were arrested with him?
Call the Baltimore Police Department at (410) 545-8122 and demand that they release these innocent men now! Then help us SPREAD THE WORD!

I'm not suggesting the police should get special treatment in any instance. Let the facts of the case speak for themselves; evidence has to be gathered, analyzed, and if determined to indict the officers then use it in court. Prosecutors work for the city, SW; it's no secret what the political leanings are of not only this mayor but the entire city council and for that matter the majority of the state legislature. It's not hard to extrapolate from that that the prosecutor (who is also a democrat) is going to return charges based on what the mayor and possibly others are instructing her to do. That's why it's so important to let this go to court before judgments are made, as happened in the Trayvon Martin case; the prosecutor in that case completely screwed the pooch for much the same reasons -- pressure from above and a desire for political attention.

The prosecutors because of the relationship, and dependence on police will rarely indict a cop. In every case the prosecutors offered a defense for the cop, this never happens with other suspects. Prosecutors find reasons to indict or they do not try.
