Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury[W:216]

Re: Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury

Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury

Another man dead at the hands of police.

The police also have video of the arrest that has not been made public yet. Will be interesting to see the entire incident.

I had understood that the injury was not incurred on arrest but later.


But we certainly do have a problem with our police and judiciary system.

Yeah, it seems even worse than normal because this was done after he had been taken into custody. Cops need to quit killing so many folk, they're getting more domestic citizens dead than terrorists.

Honestly I'm unclear, though when being dragged to the van his legs look lip, though he could just be resisting. I'm interested to see the result as I'm not far from Baltimore and visited the Inner Harbor there just a few weeks ago and was surprised at the number of police on patrol.

Another runner with a record.

STOP running and resisting!
 
Re: Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury

He probably sneezed and they felt threatened so they snapped his spine.

That does not justify the police causing the suspect's "spine was 80 percent severed at his neck." This is no longer about protecting others or following the law, this is about a growing problem of Police brutality up to and including murder. It is happening more frequently and it happens to correlate to an increasing militarization of our police force, where the active intention is to treat everyone as if they are an enemy of some degree.

I simply do not buy this "obey the officer and you will be fine" sentiment any longer as we have too many examples of police doing whatever they want expecting to be able to operate above the law.

Our real concern is this only ends one way, a real social backlash that we cannot whimsically dismiss. Too many people are dying at the hands of police for various reasons and in various conditions and there is not enough justification for all of it. It has to stop.

I am sensing a pattern in your posts....What do you have against law and order?

What do you have against the rule of law?

The posts sound to me like they are in favor of law and order and against rogue, out of control Police agencies. More USA people were killed by Police in the last 10 years than were killed in the Iraq War.

i'm from Baltimore..that's because Inner Harbor is a tourist attraction - go up Charles St, or west over Franklin Street
it's like any other city..


As to this topic: ..I wonder if they bounced him around in the back? Cuffed up behind and they like to
rattle you around and bounce you off the walls since there isn't anyway to hold yourself down.
It's possible to ram your head on the steel walls or even bounce upside down on the floor..which could snap your neck/spine
Thy are supposed to seat belt you in..but they don't always do it

Yea, I lived in Frederick for 10 years and spent a lot of time in my youth parting there. I just don't remember that many cops....Oh well....

Far as the situation, it's hard to say, but given all the backlash I expect this will be scrutinized.

He ran before being detained. Pretty sure just running isn't a crime.

I'm not convinced it happens more frequently. I mean I'm open to it, but I wonder if cameras everywhere and internet proliferation of these stories isn't simply uncovering a problem that we'd all be blissfully ignorant of otherwize.
 
Re: Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury

That they are killing people without justification. Duh.

And I have nothing against "Law and Order". I was going to be a cop, have trained cops and have friends and family who are cops, who it may surprise you, see the situations that occur and also have a problem with it.

You can't writ a post without committing some kind of logical fallacy can you?

First, we don't yet knkw what caused his injuries. Second, compared to the overall arrest rate, this isn't as big a problem as the media would lead you to believe

Someones spine doesn't get almost completely severed without some considerable force being applied.

Running just added to his record. I suspect that have added to his injuries also.

Like being tackled while running by cops on bicycles. Hitting you head on the curb etc.
Running or resisting only leads to bad things happening.

Didn't it say they hadn't done an autopsy yet?

Yeah, more people killed in Chicago by gangs and thugs too....they sound like they are for "law and order" to you but then you are more than willing to judge the entire police dept. based on the actions of ONE cop in the news....Fairness must be your middle name...NOT.
 
Re: Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury

Not true.

And I have nothing against "Law and Order". I was going to be a cop, have trained cops and have friends and family who are cops, who it may surprise you, see the situations that occur and also have a problem with it.

Not buying it...If you believed in law and order then you would also believe in the precept of innocent until PROVEN guilty...Seems you have discarded that.

You can't writ a post without committing some kind of logical fallacy can you?

Save the personal ad hom's buddy...They're quite boring.

yeah, I lived in Bel Air, and worked driving from Frederick to Rockville every day...Lived there for twenty years....You want real Baltimore, head on down the Alameda, or on over to Charles hights....I am sure you will get a great education on what its like to deal with unpredictable people.

In the video of the punk's arrest he was in pain and couldn't use his legs so he may have been hurt at that time or already hurt before he was arrested. I guess we will learn what happened to this vine dem citizen.. Why do liberals love these worthless punks so much??

The pattern is in police abuse, what's wrong with you?

I have to agree that the liberals are way to fond of abusing the police.
