I see guys with guns (police) at PGR missions all the time.
Sometimes I even shake their hands.
I've never felt the need to run.

Law Prof: Baltimore Officers Were Overcharged, Dismissal Likely
John Banzhaf , a George Washington University law professor , says that the charges announced by Baltimore state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby on Friday “go too far.” “I think a prosecutor is going to have a hard time proving that the actions did in fact cause death, since they seem to have no theory as to how it occurred,”
Banzhaf, who is most famous for his successful campaign to get smoking ads removed from TV, says that Mosby will have to show how each of the six charged officers directly contributed to Gray’s death.
Banzhaf says that even if Gray’s arrest was illegal, as Mosby asserts, the “chain of legal causation” appears to have been broken. Thus, the officers who arrested Gray should not face many of the charges they are accused of committing.
As for accusations that the officers were negligent in failing to provide medical care to Gray even after he asked for it, Banzhaf said that the defendants would likely bring experts who will testify that prisoners often make false claims about injuries.
“I think the cops will be able to find lots of experts who will say ‘this is pretty well standard,'” Banzhaf said. The officers’ defense experts would likely argue that “lots of people who are arrested start screaming that they are in pain, they can’t breath, they are hurt and so on. They do it to get leniency, or to get cuffs removed, and they also do it so that they set up claims stating that they were mishandled by police.”

Has the jury been selected?
The depraved indifference murder charge is fascinating. Really sounds like there is solid evidence of a nickel ride.

Thank you for your insight. Do you think there will be 12 dumb jurors, too?
Is it ILLEGAL to run?
All the LT said he did was "MAKE EYE CONTACT" with Gray, then gray ran. No commands were given, No crime was committed.
Since when do we arrest, hogtie, beat and give a rough ride to prisoners who run when committing no crimes?
You people are so whacked out it isnt even funny.

No, Its not illegal to run. I like to run. Running from a cop that is chasing you is. That's called fleeing.
Making a lot of assumptions aren't you. Have u seen this idiots rap sheet? He was a detriment to society, to the common good.

Law Professor: Baltimore Officers Were Overcharged, Charges Will Likely Be Dismissed
http://dailycaller.com/2015/05/01/l...overcharged-charges-will-likely-be-dismissed/
I really doubt the charges will be dismissed but they were obviously overcharged because of politics in the hope of getting a plea bargain for a lesser charge. Unethical but that is how the justice system works.

Just saw the photos of the 6 police officers charged. We've all heard so much about the racial narrative in this case. Must be a real disappointment to the race hustlers that are looking to make some loot off of Grays death. <sad trombone>
