    "The Baltimore police have murdered 109 people since 2010, and have
    paid out more than $6 million in police brutality settlements since
    2011. Now they want us to believe that â?ª#â??FreddieGrayâ?¬ broke his own
    neck??!  How stupid do the Baltimore City Police think we are??!"

Here's how the legal end is going...

The Baltimore police say they will NOT issue a report Friday as planned
<http://www.trust.org/item/20150429204111-met7y/> regarding the
death-in-detention of Freddie Gray: The report will be turned over to a
prosecutor, even as they leak 'evidence' Gray 'beat himself to death'

Snap analysis of what this means:

Baltimoreâ??s District Attorney, like ALL court prosecutorial staff, works
for the police. The prosecutor gets to pick and choose what evidence a
Freddie Gray Grand Jury might hear, and you can be SURE the evidence
will not show the victim to be non-culpable for his own death.

Further, according to US Department of Just-Us â??guidelinesâ??
<http://auntieimperial.tumblr.com/post/104858503374> â??/Law enforcement
actions based on fear, panic, misperception or even poor judgement do
not constitute wilful conduct prosecutable under the statute/.â??. Proof
of malicious intent to kill is required for a police officerâ??s murder
conviction in the United States, and since no one but police officers knowâ?¦

Right now, the Baltimore Police department has â??indirectly provided
evidence
<http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/04/29/police_van_passenger_says_gray_trying_to_hurt_himself.html>â??
that Freddie Gray beat himself to death banging his body against the
inside if the police van he was imprisoned in. Really?

The bottom line is thisâ?¦ If the public demands a murder charge in the
killing of Freddie Gray, or the prosecutor hypocritically charges the
officer/(s)/ with murder, the officer/(s)/ WILL be acquitted.

Expect no justice for Freddie Gray and you wonâ??t be disappointed.

I DO want to point out someone's response
<http://auntieimperial.tumblr.com/post/117722043579> to white folks who
say shit like â??we donâ??t burn down our neighborhoods when we get angry,â??,
b/c American Narcissistic Myopia:

What the author, anti-racism author and essayist Tim Wise who wrote that
says afterwards about what needs to be done to cause any change
whatsoever in US policing gets a "+1" from me.
