Indicted means there's enough evidence or probable cause to go to trial.

So it seems there's enough there.

So let the courts process see if they're guilty or not.

If that is the shootout in Omaha being referenced by Mark and Panda, the shooter in theory got justice when he was killed during the shootout.

Too bad that the woman officer wasn't already on paid maternity leave, since she had a newborn in the hospital recovering from a premature birth. The shooting happened the day before she was supposed to go on leave.

Shootings by thugs that is.

The cops are the thugs - is that what you mean? Baltimore PD sure looks like organized crime.

I don't think it's unreasonable at all to expect police officers to not murder citizens. That's the absolute lowest standard they should be held to. Unfortunately, these folks couldn't meet it.

Shootings by criminals in Baltimore has had almost a 50% increase since the lawless riot.

As opposed to shootings by non-criminals? What exactly are you talking about?

Who in their right mind would accept police shooting at random or recklessly? Silly statement.

Go talk to Tamir Rice's family.

These police may or may not have been the factor of this death, I don't know.

Oh, they are pretty clearly a factor in this man's death. I don't think anyone is disputing that.

I'll stand by the police over the uncivilized thugs who will take a life for $100 sneakers

Strawman much? You stand by cops that kill citizens with impunity?

Police in an overwhelmingly percentage do their job to protect the citizens.

Except the ones who don't, which is again, what we are talking about here. Or do you support the cop who killed Tamir Rice? Again, a 12 year old playing in the park as children do?

Do the targeted police have ANY rights?

Same rights as every other citizen. Sure with these cops would give the people they are supposed to protect the chance at due process. But no, lately it's shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot. Sure would be nice to see some good cops speaking out against the bad cops gunning down unarmed citizens, but no, we never hear that.

Another officer lost her life yesterday.

A tragedy, for sure. And you know what? I guarantee the person who killed her will get justice. Why can't the people who are unjustly killed by bad cops get the same?

The proggie dog-and-pony-show continues ...

Would you expect the same for murderers also deadbeatles? The police are doing their job, the gangbangers are eliminating competition. BTW, shootings in Baltimore have skyrocketed since the riots. Shootings by thugs that is.

-6 ( +0 / -6 )

Shootings by thugs that is.

The cops are the thugs - is that what you mean?

NO, that' would be inaccurate. Shootings by criminals in Baltimore has had almost a 50% increase since the lawless riot.

I don't think it's unreasonable at all to expect police officers to not murder citizens.

I don't think this is a fair statement. Who in their right mind would accept police shooting at random or recklessly? Silly statement.

Please remember the basis of our court system, INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. These police may or may not have been the factor of this death, I don't know. Readers hear don't know all the FACTS either.

I'll stand by the police over the uncivilized thugs who will take a life for $100 sneakers. Police in an overwhelmingly percentage do their job to protect the citizens. That includes the lawless citizens as well. To actually fall into the media manipulation of police targeting and killing criminals intentionally is sad. Do the targeted police have ANY rights? Another officer lost her life yesterday. They do have a difficult job. They never know what outcome to expect when they approach any suspect.
