Freddie Gray officer had an innocent man prosecuted as part of lengthy feud. Brian Rice, charged with manslaughter in Gray death, accused ex-lover’s husband of breaking a court order as part of a feud that police chiefs were warned about.

The Baltimore police lieutenant charged with the manslaughter of Freddie Gray had an innocent man arrested and prosecuted as part of a years-long personal feud over his love life that city police chiefs were repeatedly warned about.

Brian Rice filed criminal charges against his ex-girlfriend’s husband in 2013, incorrectly accusing him of breaking a court order, according to sealed court documents obtained by the Guardian. Rice tried to have the same man, Andrew McAleer, arrested again two weeks before Gray’s arrest last month.

The incident raises further doubts about whether Baltimore police department should have allowed Rice to remain in his job, according to policing experts. McAleer was acquitted after being arrested in a dawn swoop on his home by police. A county court judge later said McAleer had been charged because Rice was a police officer.

No they were a bunch of cowardly thugs who preyed on the lives of innocent small business owners who had absolutely nothing to do with the police shooting. Many of these business will never recover and their families will suffer for decades.

Shame on them.

Recent events aside, the people of Baltimore City get constantly dehumanized and shat on by the media and by people who have never even been here. Here are some articles that provide some measure of background about how Freddie Gray died and about the context that killed him. Far from covering the whole breadth of what is happening and what has been happening for a long time, they only scratch the surface of a context that’s absolutely not strictly limited to relations between the police and communities. There is so much more beyond that and the info here, so please keep that in mind as well.

Baltimore's black government set the standards for the hiring, training, and ultimately the behavior of the police force. Half of the accused cops are black. Mayor Stephanie Rawings Blake and the Police Commisioner are responsible. Both are in charge and in command. Why hasn't the mayor fired the police commisioner?
Why aren't the citizens of Baltimore demanding the mayor resign?

Why are the two that are the most responsible getting a free pass?
