The National Guard...a paramilitary organisation...is being called into duty. Once again, the world's greatest democracy is turning its troops on its own citizens.

This started when police broke a man's neck and killed him?

I think it has something to do with another death at the hands of Police Officers.
Its crazy...so many people die at the hands of police over there.

Is there a lot of people killed by police officers in the USA SPECTRE or does it seem that way because each rare case draw so much attention from the media?
I don't know the answer, I am only asking a question.

627 last year. 50 a month. Of course, a lot of those would be due to the offender...

My brother is a policeman, so I am a bit biased.

That is extremely high.
What amazes me is the apathy shown by the members here. No-one seems to care enough to comment. THAT'S sad.

Not all of us accept initial reports as accurate .. so many made fools of themselves yapping on about the "'hands up - NOT" Ferguson ... even here there is a report of another prisoner in the vehicle that 180 degree counters what the racebaiters have told us ....What amazes me is the apathy shown by the members here. No-one seems to care enough to comment. THAT'S sad.Quote
not allowing police to stop rioting and burning night before last is a subject we know most of the answers about ... THAT's known and sad .. wanna talk about that?
Bottom line - there are no reliable reports of any parts of this current one - so what's to talk about?
Those fools who yabbered on & on about the "'hands up" lie ... now THAT's sad

The reports seem fairly accurate here. National Guard, rioters...what "corroboration" do you need?

50 citizens a month? Killed BY police officers??Quote from: "SPECTRE"
That is extremely high.

It's not apathy, SPECTRE. Baltimore is a stone's throw away from me. I love the inner harbor where I've taken many visiting family and friends to. I've taken my boys to the National Aquarium there at every stage of their boyhood. It is unfortunate this has happened to Baltimore.
Once again, it's not apathy. Some of us are working full time and very busy. Sometimes there just isn't much time to write an essay or a few lines about any subject under the sun.

Title: Six Baltimore cops charged in Freddie Gray death

State's attorney Marilyn Mosby declared that Freddie Gray's death was a homicide, his arrest was illegal, and his treatment in custody amounted to murder and manslaughter.
Onlookers began to cheer and then express amazement over Mosby's announcement, which few expected so quickly.
"The findings of our comprehensive, thorough and independent investigation coupled with the medical examiner's determination that Mr. Gray's death was a homicide," Mosby said, "we have probable cause to file criminal charges."
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said in a brief statement Friday afternoon that she had ordered the suspension of all six officers and that five of them were in custody.
"No one is above the law," she said, echoing Mosby. The mayor said she had been sickened by the charges against city police officers, but "there will be justice for Mr. Gray."
Whoops, cheers and shouts of "Justice!" erupted on the courthouse steps and in the streets of Baltimore, which has faced nearly two weeks of growing anger over Freddie Gray's death.

Baltimore's top prosecutor announced criminal charges against all six officers suspended after a black man suffered a fatal spinal injury in police custody, saying "no one is above the law."Quote from: "gbb"
