No, not really.

Thousands of black people are happily celebrating the decision announced today to charge six officers in the death of Freddie Gray, but they may be disappointed when they find out that three of the six are African-American!

And the bottom left is the driver, who was the only person charged with murder. So black people are celebrating that three blacks have been charged in the death of a black drug dealer, because they want to defeat racism. Yeah that makes total sense.

“Black guys probably hated gays or something.”
Nope. The cops were token blacks in the local KKK.
They (these 6) will either never be convicted or they will just convict the white guys
This is pure political cya!
Those are our police officers.
Well said and every Freeper needs to understand this.
Ha. Like Zimmerman!
Disconnect was blocking them.
I thought maybe one had to go to the twitter links.
exactly!
Has anyone seen names to go with the pictures?
Thanks.
“Keep in mind who the Mayor is that allowed this to happen on her watch.”
Keep in mind that Mayor said to “give them space” to riot. She basically told the THUGS to have at it.
Yes. Disproportionately charged here.
May the truth win out. I can’t help but feel bad for them. I almost expected them all to look like a big juicy piece of raw meat.
The point is not black vs white. It is black vs police.
That is the point that almost the entire media comes is missing.
No, not really.
On another thread I commented that they will take down innocent officers just to get to one person. I saw it happen in my own job (Corrections).
A white female Sergeant with 15 years of service, and a spotless record was fired because she happened to be sent to the box with a camera, so a photo could be taken of an inmate who claimed he'd been roughed up by the officers while being admitted to the box.
The inmate (black) had been transferred to our facility because he had been involved in a fracas at a neighboring facility. Three officers escorted him from the Administration building to the box in a van. Standard procedure was for the escorting officers to remain and assist with the admission, along with the officers who worked in the box.
Five officers and two Sergeants were brought up on charges that they beat the inmate up. The other Sergeant was a black male who was the supervising Sergeant of the box on that shift. The five officers were white males.
They were all suspended without pay, and the State dragged their feet to begin the hearings. All total, it took almost 9 months for the hearings to be completed. The female officer was the first one to have her hearing. She asked for, but was refused Union lawyer representation. Even though the inmate couldn't identify her as having been present at the time he claimed he was beaten, she was found guilty, and was terminated. All she did was take a camera to the box at the direction of the Watch Commander. After that, the remaining officers and one Sergeant were provided Union lawyers in their defense. Not one of them lost their jobs. In fact, the majority of them had their charges dismissed because the State couldn't prove the beating ever took place. They ended up having to cough up all the back pay that had been withheld while they were out on suspension. The black Sergeant lost his stripes, but not his job. In fact, he didn't lose his job because NY State claimed there weren't enough black officers in the department. And as a female officer myself, I can say honestly say that there were a hell of a lot more black Sergeants and officers in the department than white female Sergeants, and officers at that time.
I've never forgotten, nor forgiven what the State or the Union did to her.
No, it's the subjects of the beltway vs the citizens of the republic.
Al told you what was coming when he said "we'll have to fight state's rights".
Wow! It is so sickening to hear about such corruption.
Makes me glad I retired in 2003.
Be mad at them because they are carrying out whitey’s will? Or sympathize that they are in such a plight?
There are poxes on several houses here.
