Latest on police-custody death: Attorneys say bail (for rioters, arsonists and looters) too high
Washington Post ^ | April 29, 2015

They really are nice people ... they live in a nurturing family environment ... they will return to their jobs and earn the money they need to support their wives and children ... they will never cause problems again ... they shouldn't have to spend months in jail awaiting trial!

Maybe they can sell a few pairs of their tennis shoes for bail.

Waay-all . . . If the cops are allowed to show a bit more testosterone and shoot you in the act of arson or looting, the taxpayers pay for the bullet, no cost to you. Better?

The Mayor made the police ‘stand down’ as CVS was looted and burned.. throw the Mayor in jail for aiding and abetting the looting and arson!

That's usually what happens for criminal behavior.

$500.00 cash on a $100,000 bond to get out of jail? And, the defendant is upset because its $500.00 cash on a bond. Thats peanuts for a bond that size.
That is an unbelievably low cash amount on a bond that size.
Another unreal aspect of this whole Baltimore riot.

My solution: Raise the bail higher.

” throw the Mayor in jail for aiding and abetting the looting and arson!”

Baltimore....a Democrat controlled city since 1967.

TFB.

Shove it, protestors.

And I hope something gets shoved into you while you’re in jail.

You shouldn't be too harsh on this eloquent lawyer just because her statement didn't come out the way she intended it to.

I agree. Thugs are a danger to innocent people. NO BAIL.

Perhaps they could have a giant yard sale and sell the stuff they looted.

If they're in jail, they aren't walking around on the hood of a $60,000 police cruiser, which responsible citizens of their city purchased with thier HARD EARNED tax money.

These useless pieces of human debris need to be removed from intelligent society. They moan about over incarcerating certain folks...and then they go about showing just exactly why they are in the slammer.....

North of the Mason-Dixon bail cannot be used as punishment.

But it sure can be used as a deterrent.

Where’s the diversity in that photo? The diversity that CNN, MSNBC, and others always comments on whenever they show a group of whiteys at the Republican Convention??

Don’t see no diversity at all, just one race. Dayum.
