Undoubtedly I will get major flak for saying this.
She’s doing exactly what her office and the police do to ordinary citizens every day.
Overcharging, adding counts that are ancillary, charging everyone in the vicinity who is even peripherally associated with an event.
Every day they do that. Only difference is that this time it’s being done to the police themselves.
Funny how they wail so loudly now that it’s being done to them.
Go ahead. Flame away. But just remember: when you do something to someone else, there’s always the chance it will end up coming back on you.
You are exactly right
Hmm. You make me think. I really do not want to applaud bad cops—they should be prosecuted. At the same time, I do not want to reward the mobs destroying personal property.
Of course, the argument COULD be made that the only reason the cops were overcharged was because of the riots.
Do you agree with that?
That does indeed occur on an all too frequent basis...and can actually allow people who should be in fact be convicted to get off because while they were guilty of a crime, it wasn’t the worse crime they were charged with.
However, the circumstances here as to why charges were brought when they were brought and why are altogether difference, so I’m not sure what your point is in this context.
Ordinarily I would jump down on anyone’s throat that dismisses the incredibly tough job the police undertakes in keeping their citizens and streets safe.
BUT I agree with you on this point.
“She’s doing exactly what her office and the police do to ordinary citizens every day....Overcharging...”
That is ABSOLUTELY true.
#4 The past mayor and future gov Martin O’Malley (Democrat) had 100,000 arrests in Baltimore out of 640,000 people. More than 20,000 people were released without being charged by prosecutors. It looks like the people in charge of the city arrest people for anything. This would be a future police state if you elect democrats.
Excerpt from an article:
In 2005, the Police Department made more than 100,000 arrests in a city of 640,000 people. The following year, the NAACP and the ACLU sued the city on behalf of 14 people, alleging that their arrests indicated a broad pattern of abuse in which thousands of people were routinely arrested without probable cause.
