[Daily Caller] The Baltimore police department released mugshots of the six officers charged Friday in the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year old black man who died after suffering a broken neck following his April 12 arrest.But, but, but I thought Ferguson, Mo. proved that the difficulty was all about racist white cops and leadership, not the culture of the entitlement crowd.
Three of the officers, including Caeser Goodson Jr., who faces the toughest charges, are black. The other three are white.
Maryland state attorney Marilyn Mosby announced the charges during a surprise press conference Friday morning. She said that the officers arrested Gray without cause. He was found with a pocket knife on his person, but Mosby said it was legal under Maryland law. Mosby also said that officers failed on numerous occasions to restrain Gray with a seat belt and to provide him with medical care even though he asked for it.
Move over Judge Roy Bean, there's a new lawyer in town.
A medical examiner's report ruled Gray's death a homicide. His neck was broken and he had an injury on the back of his head consistent with hitting it on a bolt from the van.
