Are you taking a global definition of “center”? I think that’s not really a useful metric in the context of American politics.

When talking about American politics, the center is the center of American politics, not the entire world.

Yeah, my 10 year old account is a new one. You caught me. Also I've never done that. I've had plenty of disagreements with plenty of people here and I doubt you'll find someone who claims I did that to them. Yet another lie on your part.

Nice way to try to weasel your way out of admitting your other lies, by the way. Stop trolling.

I just realized that I'm engaging with a new account belonging to the shit head cop who abuses the "reddit cares" function to fuck with people he doesn't like.

Yeah but most liberals are right of center. Even Bernie sanders is just barely left of center, maybe even a true centrist.

It's no secret that officers had Gray in a leg lace during the arrest. This is nowhere near kneeling on his neck, like you initially claimed.

Source your claim about witnesses threatened with arrest for filming. Good luck, because it didn't happen.

You've already changed your own theory for the "murder", you clearly didn't pay much attention, because both theories have been contracted by with what the medical examiners said.

Please stop making things up.

I thought left wing meant “left of center”.

They are. The US doesn’t really have any left wing representation to speak of.

Holy shit. I used to love on that street

This is a poor attempt at outrage porn.

Sounds like this is the story

Things were actually getting better for a while. It seemed to shift significantly (for a few reasons, I think) after the Freddie Gray riots and consent decree.

There is video of the fat cop on top of Gray during the initial arrest.

The cops threatened the witnesses with jail for trying to film stop two. There were eyewitnesses.

This has been reported in the media. It didn't come out at trial because there was no absolutely no desire to actually convict the cops who killed Gray.

I’m interested to hear the take where liberals are right wing?

So sorry for your loss and for your friends as well.

I hope they get support. I think the these situations are worse in Baltimore because it's unlikely the killers will be found and even less likely they'll receive actual consequences.

Surprising that none of that came out at trial or was reported by the media. And what happened to your claim about kneeling on his neck? I thought that's how you said it happened? You wouldn't just make something up, would you? Like, say, the police preventing people from filling? How would people have known to film in the first place at stop 2? Do you think people were following the wagon around after Gray was arrested?

The actual murder occurred at Stop Two when cops pulled Gray out of the van and threw him back in. In front of numerous eyewitnesses. You're right though--The cops stopped people from filming.

Hampden to fells is under an hour and a half walk. If they only made it down and back once if that was their route it would be a very, very slow walk.

I never said we don’t need cars. That would be fucking dumb.

But we need more on foot. Equal representation so we have ones out witnessing and stopping crimes, and one’s responding to calls or sitting around in their cars doing nothing 90% of the time.

Plus, some of them need to exercise. I saw a mothercucker at 7-11 recently who was morbidly obese. It’s an absolute disgrace to allow that to be in uniform. He can’t chase anyone. Probably wouldn’t have been able to pick up a donut if he dropped it.

First, no such video exists. Second, even if it did, it would be irrelevant. All medical examiners for both the prosecution and defense testified that the injury occurred from a single high impact blow similar to a divers injury. He could not have suffered injury prior to that, as in the video of him fake crying and limping into the wagon he can be seen supporting his own weight on his feet, which he would not have been able to do if he had suffered that injury prior to that point.

So the cops in cars are answering the radio, which is 911 calls, and so they can get sent all over a district to chase calls. If you move them to foot, then you decrease the area they can cover. So you would normally give them a foot post of maybe 4-6 blocks. You can't replace the cops in cars with cops on foot because of the nature of the calls.

Also, while its possible to walk from Hampden to Fells, that's me walking on a block twice a day, if I'm walking back and forth. Also, if there's a call for a man with a gun or an armed robbery and I'm 4 blocks away on foot, then I'm gassed when I get there and I'm way late.

You need both is all I'm saying.

What it used to be? When was that? Baltimore has been one of the top violent cities for a few decades now..

Probably, yes

Guys, Facebook isn’t a new source. No social media is. They’re rumor mills.
