| Baltimore Blames ‘White People’ After Cop Found Not Guilty In Freddie Gray Case |
| 2016-05-25 |
| [DAILYCALLER] BALTIMORE, M.D. — Baltimore city residents expressed disappointment in response to the city circuit court Monday finding a police officer not guilty in connection to the death of Freddie Gray. Officer Edward Nero was charged with several misdemeanor offenses after Gray died April, 2015, in his custody. Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry Williams found Nero not guilty of all charges just over a year later. Residents were not surprised given what they saw as racial bias in the criminal justice system. “White people are turning a blind eye,” resident Mumin Soweto told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “We’re not the ones stirring up the racism.” Mumin adds the black community is fearful 1960s style racism is on the rise. Nero was charged with second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of misconduct in office. The prosecution argued Nero and the five other officers involved were wrong in detaining Gray without a good reason and for not buckling him into a van he was transported in. Yes, they were wrong for doing that, but it ain't murder. “No one wants to play the race card but it’s hard not to see it that way,” city resident Mike Smith told TheDCNF. “That man had human rights just like everyone else.” |

| #9 I suspect history will not look kindly on Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson. Can't happen soon enough. |

| #8 I know history won't look kindly on Obama. Obama didn't start the race hustle though (the way Jackson and Sharpton did), he just exploited it and made it worse. That's another topic. |

| #5 But a black cop isn't a proper black, just as blacks from the Caribbean without the baggage of American slavery aren't proper black until they've been here a generation or two. Very sad where black culture has gone and that anybody that holds up a mirror is vilified. I suspect history will not look kindly on Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson. |

| #4 And the driver of the van that actually had the responsibility and knowledge of restraining the prison I believe was black. |

| #2 I have found people from other countries who are dark complected shun the blacks here because of their racism and hatred of others as well as themselves. Well, I added the last part. I remember the riots well and they attacked their own people readily. In our universities the pressure to conform is greatest there. Good old peer pressure. |
