Increased enforcement is merely a demanded byproduct of the need to maintain society under assault from those same types who eventually destroyed Rome.

That it will generate revenue acting as wolf meat for the same people is just a convenient byproduct.

Fuck'em.

Whatever your opinion of the situation, the city, by reaching a settlement, is admitting guilt in the death of Freddie Grey before the trial of the 6 officers accused has even begun.

This effectively taints any jury pool - "if they are not guilty, why did the city pay 6.4 million dollars?"

The city has perverted the course of justice and dealt a serious blow to the officers' right to a fair trial.

You are delusional and filled with hate. I hope you get help before you act out.

Rome was 'destroyed' by it's selfish, greedy, hedonistic, amoral slave-holding ruling class, of course. And the demise of that horrible murderous society took many centuries too long.

I find I am more gratified by the swift and sure justice provided to the brutalized family, than I am upset by whatever level of 'perversion' of the course of justice has occurred in the accused officer's cases.

This is a statment against the rule of law, so if you feel that way no one broke any laws because you do not need them.

Your view is mob rule.

An award based on economics and the trials moved to areas friendly to law enforcement. In New York Bronx is avoid in case of such trials.

This method: award placates the mobs and the transfer to another area frees/lessens - penalty of the police.

Common sense.

That is the law of the jungle - I am sorry you feel that way.

I don't have to tell you the law exists for a fair and just hearing for the accused, regardless of the feelings of any one individual or group.

The officers have not had a trial, no evidence has been given, no testimony heard - the city has pronounced them guilty with this settlement and denied them that right.

There won't be any Jury.

The Cops will take trial by Judge, because Judges are always in the tank for the Cops. They'll walk. When it comes to cops murdering black men, there is no justice.

We will see - up to this point the officers' defense attorneys have been requesting a change of venue, citing the impossibility of an impartial jury in Baltimore.

The city's preemptive settlement will no doubt affect their defense strategy - I do not know if they do or do not now have the option to request trial by judge according to applicable statutes.

Remember when I said I would ban myself for two weeks if I ever slip up and respond to him again?

Well I'm amending that.

It's now a 30 day self ban.
