Breaking... three Baltimore officers to be indicted for homicide

i'm surprised. i would have expected a smorgasbord of lesser charges, instead of the big enchilada- homicide.
attorney for the defense, please:
attorney for the defense, please:
- request separation of the 6 cases, with separate dates and venues
- establish that there was no intent to kill Freddy Gray, although procedures regarding the use of seat belts, manacles, etc were violated.
- explore a plea bargain on a charge such as "involuntary manslaughter", which an intelligent prosecutor will likely agree to, despite political pressure to go to trial. the evidence does not support homicide, and if you go there you're going to end up in trayvon martin territory again, with a likely "not guilty" verdict.

I agree with your defense proposals but I am willing to venture at least one of the officers will opt for trial. They're likely to see many of the serious charges disappear and know their careers would be over if they plead to an invol manslaughter charge.
I feel the charges against all six are too encompassing and a bit too serious, someone will beat them.
It's likely none will ever be in a Baltimore Police uniform again. The conditions there just won't allow it to happen.

It is about time. Now the victim shaming will begin in earnest. The cops will turn out to be saints, heroes, fathers, sons and patriots. The victim will most certainly be shown as a cross between a thug and a nigga...come to think of it, thug is the new white racist word for nigga...

"It's about time"? The prosecutor's office received the initial investigation less than 48 hours ago.
Odd idea on timing huh?
And leave the senseless racism out of it, not needed.

Adults can usually handle honest conversation but this blog seems to concentrate newspeak followers, you know, Fox News viewers.

If you think racism is not part of this issue then you must be a Fox Viewer. Thug is indeed the new PC word for the n-word. Just like welfare queen was for Ronnie...

I already top-posted to this attempted takeover of a perfectly legitimate word. It's nonsensical and duplicitous.
"Racism" had nothing to do with the charges involved, and the point I debunked was the "it's about time" BS. You ignored that part of the response?
Anyone with a lick of sense would know that "It's about time" not only refers to this case but others as well.

Anyone with a lick of intelligence knows justice was done in those cases as well.
Or were you not paying attention?

Justice? Not in every case, buddy! What excuse do you have for the cops who took down that guy who was standing there (not selling cigarettes) and the big guy put his knee on the guy's neck and back and squashed his arteries? What was the need of that? They had at least 4 guys handling the situation. You fools went on about his weight killing him, but if he was that damned out-of-shape, why did they need that many guys to arrest him? What about the Timar Rice incident? You know, the 12 yr old? Did the cops get off that one as well?

You're saying it would have been "justice" to put the cop away in Cleveland for what was a tragic accident?? That's insane.
Garner was taken down and restrained in a typical fashion for a man of his size. The kneeling on his neck did NOT kill him. He had no broken bones, no broken neck as is frequently lied about. Only his resistance to legal police orders lead to the stresses that eventually took his life.
As I said, justice was done.
It doesn't necessarily mean the outcomes were what YOU personally wanted or what your politics demand.

Hoot - a word used by those with racial "issues" when describing the aftermath of abusive policing resulting in the death of a black guy.

You saw SIX police officers committing acts of "abusive policing"?
Now that takes imagination.
