So 6 police officers have been charged with homicide for the death of Freddie Grey. I would like to say that in no way am I a fan of the police, quite the contrary. I have been on probation for 4 out of the last 6 years and I currently don't have a license due to some bs charges.
Still I think this is outrageous. [u]One[/u]person dies in an accident and [u]6[/u] people are charged?! With homicide?! If they're all found guilty this will effect all of them and their entire families! Just because they showed up for work that day and didn't make the best decisions. The prosecutor who made this decision is a woman who has only had the job for four months! All this on top of the other fckd up bllsht that has been going on. Fck this sht.
[u]Update:[/u]: so after reading a more detailed news article I realize only one is charged with second degree homicide, three are charged with multiple accounts of assault, and everyone with things like gross negligence and false imprisonment.
I still think this is excessive and I think that running from the police warrants an arrest, were they supposed to just let him run away?
The full responsibility of this situation is shared by everyone, from the rioters to the mayor (who smokes crack). I think it's all terrible and the only way to change is with the support of every single person in Baltimore. Good luck getting that though.
