    SEND YOUR KIDS TO THE FREDDY GREY COMMINITY CENTER....WHERE THEY CAN LEARN TO GROW UP AND BE A WONDERFUL CITIZEN JUST LIKE FREDDY WAS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY EVEN CHARGED COPS WHEN ALL THAT DIES WAS A WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHlT

    I do not believe any of the officers INTENDED TO KILL him and murder requires intent. Apparently the city did not uniformly have anything in place to inform officers of the seatbelt policy & record that they had been informed of the procedure change and that is certainly not the officers fault. There was no negligence, because there was no seat belt rule at the time. Maybe fault the city (who has already paid out) but NOT the particular officers) They did nothing wrong and if Gray had not been acting like an idiot resisting & been a habitual criminal who enjoyed creating theatrics & crying wolf they would not have had to both cuff and shackle him & he could have been placed in the seat like a civilized person. There was no uniform policy at the time this happened to belt in prisoners. If he made a poor decision to try to stand in a moving vehicle, that is his problem & the other prisoner were not hurt.

    His worthless family has already cashed in so lets move on and one less criminal on the streets. I do not believe any officer INTENDED to harm him so lets move on folks

    Nero was and is innocent. The next trial, Caesar Goodson's, will be fascinating. Goodson is charged with murder, and the stakes are really high. On one hand, Goodson was the van's driver, which makes him the most responsible. And he is Black. If Goodson is convicted the Black community in Baltimore will explode. The White cop gets off, and the Black one goes to jail. Another example of racial injustice. States Attorney Mosby will have no where to hide.

    If you believe in the cries of a Black drug dealer and his criminal family (who got rich in a boo hoo payday) you gotta BELIEVE in the decisions of da Black judge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Descrimination exist everywhere not just racial but because people are somehow different they are fat short tall talk with accent wear a headscarf are LBGT uae a wheelchair are rich poor long hair no hair black white blue or green but none of them is an excuse to commit crrimes instead of get a job and act right. In the end it is not the color of your skin it is the person inside & bad people are like the rainbow and have all colors. I am what God made me He did not make mistake and I have never think to use that as an excuse to be a bad person. Maybe problem was not he was black but that he was a criminal person as this is a huge minority group but one none of us born to we choose to join that group

    I am sick and tired of the race card! The problem with Freddy was not that he was black it was that he was a criminal and had been arrested many times. Most blacks in B'more are not like Freddy they have jobs and pay taxes and take care of their families and don't get high and hang out on street corners. Funny how nobody is saying the black judge who heard this case or the black police officers were profiled or discriminated against. That black man did not turn out like Freddy but Freddy could have had a different life like the judge if he wanted to. People need to be proud of what they are and not use it as an excuse for mediocrity or failure.

    How can someone preach about being "part of the solution and stop adding fuel to the fire", yet be the first one to throw down the race card? That is hypocrisy at it's finest.

    Plenty of people from multitudes of race, gender, etc. worry about putting food on the table and paying bills. People from EVERY race struggle, not just blacks. Being a minority does not mean you are predisposed to lead a certain lifestyle. YOU alone make choices that define your life.

    I also believe that everyone in their lives are stereotyped at some point, not just blacks. People assume that I'm a dumb hillbilly because of my accent, but I'm actually very intelligent and hold several degrees.

    The point being is this: Not all police are corrupt, Not all blacks are criminals, and Not all white people are racist.

    Until we, collectively as the human race, can come together, putting individual race aside and effect positive change in our communities, there will continue to be a great divide.

    Amos- I applaud your comment. It was perfect. I wish you the best with your unfortunate health issues.

    Tee- you are making judgments just the same & the fact is you do not know if Gray ever had a job or not either. It is simply a statement of facts he had many drug related arrests and was unemployed. That is not racism he exercised his free will to commit crimes many times. Not everyone in Baltimore is a drug user or criminal and being Black does not mean you can;t stay in school off drugs and make something of yourself. Logic says he was not likely to find a job hanging out on a well knows drug corner. Not one person here has said anything about the race of anyone involved. Not everything is a racial issue and you are assuming the other people commenting are white when they may not be & there are many minorities that are not related to race. You do not have to be Black to understand what being profiled is nor what discrimination is. How is it profiling when police want to speak to people loitering on a drug selling corner, especially when those there were known to them as drug dealers? Wouldn't it also be profiling if someone walks up to them and asks to buy drugs and lo and behold they sell them some because they "look like drugs dealers" & were standing on a corner where people frequently sell drugs? Do you think people really care what color a drug dealer is? Drug dealers and users come in all colors and it is up to each one of us to not use illegal drugs and fund the gangs & criminals that sell the drugs- whatever color & ethnicity they are. Gray did in fact have illegal drugs in him when he died, not because he was Black but simply because he made a choice to use them. Mr. Gray's lengthy criminal record is not profiling any more than your clean record & being drug free is. You both decided what to do with your lives and I really do not care why someone decided to become a drug dealer instead of a worker in a legitimate business like you & I did. Being Black or any of the other of the many minorities is not and has never been a license to break the law. In fact, being Black does not make you a minority in Baltimore City. People of all colors and groups need to stop using that group as an excuse not to finish school and get a job. I have not seen one person here try to fuel the problem and a solution is not a simple matter. Baltimore did not start heading downhill on one particular day it has been a gradual process not only here but in many cities. There is no quick fix either, but it seems rather clear to me people like Mr Gray are part of the problem and not the solution. People need to shut up and concentrate on moving forward and not making excuses. People wanted "justice" and they need to realize that, while they may not be happy with the decision in this case it was arrived at by the judicial process as will be all the others.

    My father was Black, White and Native American and my mother is Vietnamese and I am a devout Buddhist and I am also gay and have a birth defect of severe scoliosis that makes it difficult for me to walk & I use a service dog which makes me a mess of minorities but I have never used one as an excuse to drop out, do drugs or not earn an honest living.

    You sound so ridiculous. If this would have been a white male in the same situation trust and believe the outcome would have been much different. I too believe in protect and serve but there is a time when officers become excessive with force whether we care to see that as the truth or not. I'm a black female educated, never used or sold drug and have a very good job. I have been a victim of police stereotype because of age and the color of my skin. As Americans we have really lost value in self as well as other. How foolish does it sound to say just because someone's a drug dealer that one they've never done a honest day’s work in their life. You never know what makes a person resort to the life they personally have chosen to live. Judgmental that's what you are... Is it because in this case this young man was black? Have you live the day in a black man or woman's shoes? Do you know what its like to wake up and not know how you will feed your family because society makes it so hard for minorities to be successful? Have you noticed that not only black men and women are on corners, in drug houses or better yet jail?
    Until the City of Baltimore unites as one what happened to Freddie Gray will continue to happen. God said in 2 Chronicles 7:14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.
    Be a solution to the problem and stop adding fuel to the fire that's already burning.

    Freddy was the architect of his own demise. Fred chose to hang out on a drug corner. Fred chose to run. Fred chose to resist arrest. Fred chose his life and he made a bad choice that led to his death. The other uninjured prisoner in the van said there was no "rough ride" and Fred made a choice to play his usual game and cry wolf and act up. How was any of that the cops fault when Fred made a choice to live a life of drugs and crime. Maybe if he hadn't been high and stood there and talked to the cops he would be alive today. How is being high on multiple drugs the cops fault? You can't blame cops for Fred's life of bad choice or the drugs he had in him-he chose how he lived and how he died and the cops had nothing to do with that. I would give them all raises all they did was their job.

  • ED - 8 years ago

    I believe in cops, not glorifying drugs dealers with dozens of arrests who have never done an honest day's work and, unlike what their mommas (who also have a police record) claim, they were not out hanging on that corner trying to turn their lives around...aspiring to be rap "singers". If a cop walks up to me, why would I run? Oh yeah, I have never been arrested and do not have any illegal drugs in my system or a knife in my pocket, hanging on a drug corner when decent people are at work. As long as Baltimore holds scum like Freddie Gray up as heroes to the youth who have not yet made a decision about what path their life will take, the city will continue to be a cesspool and kids will continue to drop out, get guns & knives and steal ,wheel and deal on the corners, sometimes killing innocent little kids who get in the way. Real heroes build the senior centers & open businesses that provide employment, they do not burn them down.
