[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is pretty simple folks. Suspect died in police custody due to gross negligence. Arresting officers get a pass because they can point to a shitty policy. they just recently decided that strapping someone who is handcuffed in the back of a moving van:vehicle was a good idea. Cops win, another dead black kid with no justice. No one is held accountable.  More folks work to find ways to blame the victim and his family for their situation. The cycle continues.[/quote]

I forgot to add. "Pro cop" (whatever that means) supporters celebrate the acquittal. Focus is on how wrongly the cops were treated by the DA who intentionally trumped up the charges instead of the one dead person and the negligent policies that resulted in his death. It is this sentiment, this lack of empathy by the majority and non oppressed minorities that I will never fault AAs for rioting or being angry.

Since not one of the cops have been found guilty of [i]anything[/i], it is difficult to argue there was “gross negligence.”  
It is a good day when someone who has been wrongly accused of a pretty serious crime is found not guilty.  That, my friend, is why people are “celebrating” the acquittal.  
Sorry for Freddie’s death.  [/quote]

I wish innocent black suspects were awarded such justice. Sorry I'm not feeling the love here.

I do not believe the cops were guilty of the crimes so I agree with verdict. Not happy about it though as I know Gray's family did not get justice. Grays death was not a sad mistake. Who pays for that?

If this were your kid or loved one, would you be satisfied with everything that has taken place? Would a $6M check been enough for you make peace with the issue. What would justice look like for YOUR loved one. [/quote]

Where are you going with this? people die due to the negligence of others all the time, and the remedy is always money, because acting negligently is not criminal.  In every case, money does not make up for the death, but we don't send people to jail for negligent acts to make the victim' family feel better.[/quote]

Never said it did. And remedy certainly isn't always money. Only when it comes to mistreatment of minorities is this true. [b]Do you know how many people get locked up for negligence? It happens every day. [/b] [b]Government officials should also be held accountable.[/b] Instead they are able to hide behind, in this case, the shield. The same argument could be made for what happened in Flint. Someone needs to get locked up for that. Authorities are given responsibility to protect and serve the public. The get paid by public dollars and receive a public pension. If anything, the standard should be higher for them than civilians.

You never addressed the question. Would a $6M check and an apology note from the force be good enough for your loved one who died from blunt trauma in back of a van? Would you be okay with the officers getting desk duty or losing their jobs as justice for you loved one? What would it be for you?[/quote]

Just curious.... Do you hold Hillary Clinton to this standard?  Do you not think her actions using a private server were negligent?[/quote]

First-  I'm a conservative and I absolutely cannot stand Hillary. Don't trust her for nothing. Second, I would hold Hillary's feet to the fire too if her actions were deemed negligent and it resulted in the death of my loved one or someone else. Rough rides have been an issue and have result in serious injury and compliant by potential suspects in the past. Gray's death was preventable and could have happened to anyone. No one gave a shit.

Still no response to my question.[/quote]
