6 Officers Charged In Freddy Gray Death; 2nd Deg. Murder & Manslaughter

[AggregateDemand]

I'm not going to celebrate until they start repealing some of the laws that allow officers to harass, detain, arrest, and imprison people for no particular reason.

But that will never happen so commence with the circus trials.

How would not charging these officers have helped get toward your goal?

How does charging them get me anywhere?

[AggregateDemand]

Why do you characterize and/or assume it will be a "circus trial?"  Whatever its inadequacies, the current state of the law does not allow police to kill without the predicate of they or someone else being in immediate personal physical danger.  They can't even kill to stop a crime or attempt to catch a suspect absent that predicate.

I've yet to observe anything but circus trials regarding race during the Obama-era.

Trayvon Martin trial was the first and the worst. They're getting slightly less offensive with each go round. Maybe the Gray trial will mimic jurisprudence, but I'm not optimistic.

Explain to me the steps that you think will get society toward the systemic reform you claim to want.

1. Teach people how the system works in our compulsory education system.

Civics, taxation, and socioeconomics. Imagine what would happen when the proletariat learn that they pay the same marginal tax rate on their first dollar of income as Warren Buffet pays on his long-term capital gains.

I can't promise people will react they way I'd like, but ignorance will no longer grease the wheels of this Animal Farm.

OK. Now how is that incompatible with prosecuting people who kidnapped and murdered a man?

When the global financial crisis happened, why didn't you demand imprisonment for all bank tellers?

[AggregateDemand]

A perverted analogy if I've ever seen one. Bank tellers didn't steer minorities and the poor into subprime mortgages. That was more than likely real estate agents, personal bankers, and all the bankers that work in the loan offices.

The only perversion is the fickle flip-flopping conscience of the Democratic constituency.

The reality is that these urban areas are run by Democrats. They hire the management. They set the culture and the tone of the judiciary and law enforcement. When things go awry, they blame the employees.

Even the most jaded blue-blood corporatist in the Republican Party is loyal to his fellow robber barons.

[AggregateDemand]

Thanks for drifting into incoherence.

You realize that employees are not to blame, unless the people in charge are Democrats. Boring, but hopefully you can understand it.

[AggregateDemand]

Are you arguing somehow that they were just following orders?

Do you think banking executives explicitly told loan officers and tellers to bankrupt American home-owners?

[AggregateDemand]

That's an insane analogy. Talk about the case at hand.

It is the assumption you made, which allowed you to ask if I thought these police officers were following orders. I'm glad you recant.

My thoughts about this event are relatively clear. Democrats throwing cops under the bus, though politicians and administrators are responsible for their employees. Perhaps you could argue that public sector unions make it nearly impossible for elected officials to weed out the bad eggs, but your avatar is red and you can't argue against unions.

You're only play is to blame the police officers. Yawn.
