Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) declared the charges brought against six police officers in the death of Freddie Gray “George Zimmerman and the Duke Lacrosse case all over again” and said “these cops are political prisoners,” offered up as human sacrifices, thrown like red meat to an angry mob” on Friday’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto” on the Fox News Channel.Don't expect the LEO involved to get hammered in court. The prosecutor's charge that no probable cause existed will be shut down by precedent. It is S.O.P. to conduct Stop & Frisk searches like the one they used on Gray. SCOTUS itself gave LEO permission to act in the face of someone who "walks away". Baltimore PD (and every other major PD in America) train their thugs to do exactlky what the Baltimore 6 did, and people go to jail and prison as a result.
Now - that's in a system where Rule of Law is at least given a nod. But that isn't our system, so predicting what will actually happen to the Baltimore 6 is nothing but a WAG. In reality, what happens to them doesn't matter a whit to the Tyrants. The 6 have served their purpose. DoJ will demand Baltimore PD (and maybe even Baltimore County) accept FedGov oversight - and the money that will come with it.
Fundamental Transformation.
Afterall - “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
Standing Army, folks.

Cops are the natural manure of big government.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine the Fascist Frank's and Soviet Sally's out there enforcing their own ridiculous edicts...
For that you need big muscles, without too much brains in the way to slow them down.
