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

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

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

Prove it....So far I see nothing but an investigation here...Unless you have some crystal ball or something....As for the others, you see a couple of news stories, cherry picked from the nation to feed your pre conceived notions because division, and discord is all you libs are about these days...So you don't like cops...Noted, and unsurprising...Maybe the next time your in trouble you can just figure it out yourself...
 
Re: Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury

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

Must you patronize everything. Leave politics out, and let's clean up police corruption and abuse.

Prove it exists...It's not there just because YOU say so...You have to prove it.

No, we don't like corrupt cops, get it straight.

Wait, you're denying that there's any police corruption in America.......................................?

Another shocker, now you're going to start twisting words, and inserting what you want to argue about, instead of what I actually asked....Prove it....
 
Re: Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury

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

Yeah we do, blunt force trauma. And it happened between the time he was arrested and the time he got to the station.

Shall I prove for you that the earth revolves around the sun while I'm at it?

Nah, just your claims is fine...But I suspect that you are stalling because you can't...So now is when you'll make it about me, about them, about anything other than backing up with facts what you claimed...That's all too typical.

Please prove that this happened between the arrest and the station...
 
Re: Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury

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.

"In custody" doesn't mean much. IF he resisted...and he was put down hard...it could be more the understandable if he were injured in a scuffle. I nearly tore my rotator cuff a couple weeks ago on a soft mat at jujitsu. Grappling isn't a safe thing for the one on the losing end.

Best to wait for evidence.

Spinal injury from blunt force trauma?

Edit*

Sorry let me be more specific.

What kind of bft? That could be hundreds of things. That alone is not an indicator of anything.

The liberal horde has made this political with 0bama calling the police stupid, calling Little Trayvon his son look alike, sending Holder to investigate the killing of the career thug Brown and still he is saying that our police are all a bunch of racist pigs - just like Bill Ayres taught him.

We may have seen one case of real abuse of power with the shooting of the dead beat dad in SC but the killing of Brown was justified and a service to the comunity.

He was running around before the rest.

Afterwards...not so much.

Pretty easy to figure out.

No. Not without evidence. Bft can occur for many reasons. The order of importance does not start with when. It is how and why. Then when.

What the hell is wrong with you dude? Having to prove to you that there is widespread abuse in American police forces across the country is like having to prove to you that the earth isn't flat. Now, since your partisan mind can't handle anything from a liberal source, I'll give you what you like.

Police abuse, corruption and heavy handedness has nothing to do with politics, leave it out of this.

There is actually starting to be some contention on some points. Some are starting to wonder if police brutality ISN'T actually on the rise. The concern is if it is in fact simply OBSERVED more often. After all...YouTube and cell phones haven't been around for a while.

Police corruption can be VERY political. NYC comes to mind.

All I did was point out the facts as we know them, he was able to walk and run. Cops caught him, and he couldn't, and he died.
 
Re: Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury

Not true.

Fantastic and in depth response. Really something to think about here.

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.

I'm not the judge in this case. I haven't discarded anything (another strawman) I'm allowed to speculate. Furthermore there are lots of cases where cops get off, where, if they had been held to the same standard as the general public they would have been prosecuted. Acquitting a person for murder may make him innocent in the eyes of the law, but it does not mean they are actually innocent.

It's not an ad hominem if it's true. Sorry.
 
Re: Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury

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.

I grew up in Medford Mass right across the river from South Boston (southie), Dorchester and Fall river, So I've seen it.
 
Re: Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury

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.
You don't know that the officers caused that. There's no info available regarding the cause of the injury yet
 
Re: Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury

Another runner with a record.

STOP running and resisting!

Stupid to run? Yes, you are right. But that does not excuse all these deaths nor does it mean police officers have to stop doing their job properly.

Also, this injury seems to have occurred after arrest, but the investigation is still in it's early days, so the police officers should have the luxury of innocent until proven otherwise. For all we know he fell down and hurt his neck in that manner, which would make it nothing more than an accident. The only thing you could hold the police accountable for might be not calling an ambulance/paramedics in time to prevent the death.
 
Re: Baltimore on edge after arrestee's fatal spine injury

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

But it is a dumb thing to do knowing how the police sometimes reacts.
