War Zone: Baltimore Erupts Into Violence, Chaos as #BlackLivesMatter Riots Rage
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/25/war-zone-baltimore-erupts-into-violence-chaos-as-blacklivesmatter-riots-rage/
BALTIMORE, Maryland — Racial protests supposed to be peaceful quickly turned into violent riots on Saturday evening, closing down the city of Baltimore for some time—and creating a panic for thousands of people as just 50 miles away elites in Washington partied with President Barack Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Personally, I wasn’t supposed to be on the job tonight as a reporter. After a long news week and as several of my contemporaries lived high on the hog down in D.C. at the so-called “Nerd Prom,†me and my brother left D.C. to go see our Boston Red Sox play the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards I hate the White House Correspondents’ Dinner—it represents everything I think is wrong with Washington, making celebrities out of news media and politicians—and given the fact I grew up just outside Boston I figured seeing the Red Sox play in Baltimore would be a great reprieve from the political culture. Boy was I wrong.
My brother and I arrived in Baltimore just outside Camden Yards about an hour before the game, and went into Bullpen Bar—one of three iconic all-brick building bars right outside the stadium—for a beer before the Sox took on the O’s. I usually make it up here for a game or two every year, and have always found Orioles fans to be pleasant. We’re united in our hatred of the Yankees.
Another riot in Baltimore. This one follows the death of Freddie Gray who died from a spinal cord injury following his arrest. I dread this summer.

Orioles react to protest outside Camden Yards
http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/04/baltimore-orioles-react-to-protest-outside-camden-yards
Thousands of fans were temporarily trapped inside Camden Yards Saturday night as “ongoing public safety issues†prevented fans from leaving the ballpark. Demonstrators took the streets Saturday to protest the death of Freddie Gray, but after hours of peace the protest turned destructive just outside Camden Yards as the Orioles played the Red Sox. The Orioles’ public address announcer informed fans in the ninth inning that no one could leave the stadium, but the restriction was eventually lifted in extra innings (the Orioles prevailed 5-4).
Oriole fans were stuck due to rioting at Camden Yards.

Shock Video: RT Reporter Surrounded, Harassed, and Robbed by Black Mob in Baltimore (http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2015/04/26/shock-video-rt-reporter-surrounded-harassed-and-robbed-by-black-mob-in-baltimore/)

While the national media was focused on the White House Correspondents Dinner last night, the #BlackLivesMatter crowd was shaking things up in Baltimore. And by “shaking things up,†I mean looting, rioting, robbing, and other various and sundry forms of law-breaking. The call has gone out and a plethora of radical groups such as (in addition to BlackLivesMatter) the National Action Network (NAN), the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the Nation of Islam (NoI), and the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) were bused in to supply hundreds of foot soldiers for the marches and protests. The results, last night, were not pretty.
Michael Walsh already has one distressing video up highlighting last night’s mayhem. Here, via Truth Revolt, is another shocking video that was captured live by a reporter as she was being harassed and mobbed by a crowd of black youths.
...
The video shows an angry and aggressive mob surrounding the reporter, making obscene hand gestures, yelling vulgarities and getting alarmingly close to her until someone snatches her purse ...

Intel warning: Gang attacks on white cops might spread outside Baltimore
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/apr/27/baltimore-riots-gang-attacks-white-police-officers/
Law enforcement intelligence officials have put out a warning that someone has sent a text calling on people to kill “all white police officers†in reaction to the death of Freddie Gray while in Baltimore police custody, raising fears violence could spread nationally, according to safety memos obtained by The Washington Times.
Officers are being warned of possible ambushes and urged to change travel patterns and to tone down clothes or emblems that identify them as police.
The Baltimore police department separately put out a press release on Monday saying various gangs, including the Black Guerrilla Family, Bloods and Crips “haver entered into a partnership to ‘take out’ law enforcement.â€
Police need to be very vigilant.

CHAOS: 15 Officers Injured, Businesses Looted, Fires Set As Violent Riots Plague Baltimore
http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2015/04/27/umb-closes-early-due-to-potential-rallies-threats-in-baltimore/
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Fifteen Baltimore City police officers were injured, multiple vehicles were vandalized and set on fire, and businesses were looted as a massive group of rioters ran wild along North Avenue early Monday evening.
As a result, a city-wide curfew was put in place in an effort to restore order.
It’s believed the riots may be a result of fliers that were apparently shared over the weekend on social media asking high schoolers to rally at Mondawmin Mall. It was supposed to be a peaceful march for Freddie Gray that extended from Mondawmin Mall to The Avenue.
Folks, the riots could spread outside of Baltimore. The Summer of Discontent is here.

What we're seeing in Baltimore...in Ferguson and other places is the culmination of 40 years of school indoctrination about what an evil racist country the U.S. is...revisionist history lessons that equate America to the worst of the worst in world history.

"Food desert"? "Ebt (sic)"?
I work for a living, leech! Social programs were intended to be temporary safety nets when finding a new job didn't happen in a very few weeks. Not a multi-generational lifestyle!
Those people looting and burning stores will start learning what a real "food desert" is as those stores don't rebuild and reopen. Not that the neighborhood thugs and thug-ettes have the brains to connect the burnt-out rotting shells to the looting and burning they did weeks and months and years earlier. The thugs and thug-ettes lack the brains to figure out that large corporations are unlikely to risk money and people by building and running a store in a neighborhood with a history of looting and burning stores.
Sadly, ar large percentage of those who suffer economically from the coming real "food desert" will be the neighborhood people whose worst "crime" was staying behind locked doors while their looter neighbors and imported thugs rampaged.

Agreed. It doesn't help that during the Treyvon Martin case that both Holder and Obama were on national television commenting on the issue of race relations and brutality by law enforcement. Those comments were the catalyst to what we are now witnessing in Baltimore. It was a golden opportunity for this administration to add to the decline of race relations and to put an additional strain on our law enforcement personnel. Obama seemingly wants as much destruction brought to this country as possible. It sure seems inevitable that this will be one "hot" summer and perhaps will ultimately lead to him declaring marshal law.

2 Maps That Explain The Baltimore Riots – 1968 And Now
http://www.vocativ.com/usa/justice-usa/2-maps-that-explain-the-baltimore-riots-1968-and-now/
In the wake of Freddie Gray’s funeral on Monday, as sections of Baltimore convulsed in riots, arson and looting, the city’s troubled history threatened to repeat itself.
On April 6, 1968, two days after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Baltimore, like many other cities across the country, found itself engulfed in riots. At the time, the city was still over 50% white, though the demographics were rapidly changing. In just two years, blacks would nearly equal the number of whites, whereas in 1950, the latter outnumbered the former 2 to 1.
In 1968, Baltimore was heavily segregated, which hasn’t changed. During the riots, the damage was generally confined to impoverished black communities, beginning on the city’s Eastside and spreading outward. After four nights, over 1,000 businesses had been looted, damaged or burned to the ground. Six people were dead and more than 700 were injured. The price tag on the damage, accounting for inflation, would today equal $79 million.
History repeats itself. :mental:

'I didn't want him to be another Freddie Gray': America's favorite mom who chased her son home after catching him rioting reveals she is a 'no-tolerant' mom-of-six who 'just lost it' when she saw him

The Baltimore mother who's been hailed as a 'Mom of the Year' for clobbering her rioting son has today revealed she was overcome with terror for his safety.
Toya Graham, a single mother of six, had a very simple explanation when asked why she smacked her 16-year-old son Michael upside his head after she spotted him rioting and throwing rocks at police.
She said: 'I don't want him to be a Freddie Gray.'

Violence erupts again in Baltimore: Defiant crowd of rioters face-off with three thousand police officers firing tear gas and rubber bullets to enforce broken curfew
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3059952/Protesters-refuse-leave-street-night-falls-Baltimore-curfew-looms.html
Thousands of police officers in Baltimore, Maryland threw tear gas and fired rubber bullets as they marched on about 100 defiant protesters who refused to go home and heed a city-wide curfew.
Maryland Gov Larry Hogan ordered 2,000 National Guardsmen and 1,000 law enforcement officers onto the streets Tuesday to head off a repeat of the violence that erupted the previous night in some of the city's poorest neighborhoods in response to the death 25-year-old local man Freddie Gray.
'This combined force will not tolerate violence or looting,' Gov. Larry Hogan warned.
Riots continue into the night. :mental:

Source: Baltimore mayor ordered police to stand down
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/04/29/source-baltimore-mayor-ordered-police-to-stand-down/
Despite a firm denial by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, a senior law enforcement source charges that she gave an order for police to stand down as riots broke out Monday night, raising more questions about whether some of the violence and looting could have been prevented.
The source, who is involved in the enforcement efforts, confirmed to Fox News there was a direct order from the mayor to her police chief Monday night, effectively tying the hands of officers as they were pelted with rocks and bottles.
Asked directly if the mayor was the one who gave that order, the source said: "You are God damn right it was."
Dr. Lillian Glass notes that Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is lying during the press conference.

Baltimore Is a Democrat Problem, Not America’s Problem
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/28/baltimore-is-a-democrat-problem-not-americas-problem/
Contrary to the emotional blackmail some leftists are attempting to peddle, Baltimore is not America’s problem or shame. That failed city is solely and completely a Democrat problem. Like many failed cities, Detroit comes to mind, and every city besieged recently by rioting, Democrats and their union pals have had carte blanche to inflict their ideas and policies on Baltimore since 1967, the last time there was a Republican Mayor.
In 2012, after four years of his own failed policies, President Obama won a whopping 87.4% of the Baltimore City vote. Democrats run the city of Baltimore, the unions, the schools, and, yes, the police force. Since 1969, there have been only two Republican governors of the State of Maryland.
Elijah Cummings has represented Baltimore in the U.S. Congress for more than thirty years. As I write this, despite his objectively disastrous reign, the Democrat-infested mainstream media is treating the Democrat like a local folk hero, not the obvious and glaring failure he really is.
Every single member of the Baltimore city council is a Democrat.
Ding Dong! We got a winner right here!

Why is America celebrating the beating of a black child?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/04/29/why-is-america-celebrating-the-beating-of-a-black-child/?tid=sm_tw
It’s not surprising that a black mother in Baltimore who chased down, cursed and beat her 16-year-old son in the middle of a riot has been called a hero. In this country, when black mothers fulfill stereotypes of mammies, angry and thwarting resistance to a system designed to kill their children, they get praised.
“He gave me eye contact,†Toya Graham told CBS News. “And at that point, you know, not even thinking about cameras or anything like that — that’s my only son and at the end of the day, I don’t want him to be a Freddie Gray. Is he the perfect boy? No he’s not, but he’s mine.â€
In other words, Graham’s message to America is: I will teach my black son not to resist white supremacy so he can live.
From WaPo. Nuff said. :mental:

Now THAT'S leading from the front: Baltimore city police commissioner pictured taking down rioter with his bare hands
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3062162/Baltimore-city-police-commissioner-pictured-taking-rioter-street-bare-hands.html
He has been a regular face at press conferences this week, aiming to calm the violence in Baltimore and reassure residents that police have rioters under control.
But Baltimore City Police Commissioner Anthony Batts has proved he is not just about speeches after he was seen taking down a protestor himself in the stricken city.
Baltimore has been besieged by protestors starting fires, destroying buildings and marching following the funeral of Freddie Gray, who died of spinal injuries after being arrested and put into a police van.

Why is America celebrating the beating of a black child?

From WaPo. Nuff said. :mental:
Now, Stacey Patton is accusing Toya Graham of being a racist. :mental: :bs:
If we had more Toya Graham's, America would be better off.
Putting it briefly, here's what I understand happened. Toya Graham was at a doctor appointment. One of her daughters saw news of what was going on, near where she knew her brother would be. She persuaded her mother to skip the appointment and go get the son out of the area. When she arrived, Toya saw a group of black youths in masks and carrying bricks and large rocks moving toward the police. Among them she spotted her son, masked, wearing a hoodie, and carrying a rock. She recognized his sweatpants and his walk. She realized he was charging into mortal danger, pulled him out, and smacked, literally, some sense into him.
Armchair idiots are quibbling whether she "had to" smack/hit/beat him to get him to turn back. Maybe in their hypothetical fantasy world calling him out using his full first, middle, and last name, in her severe mother's voice was all the was needed. In the real world, in those very few seconds, maybe it would, and maybe it would not. Toya wanted a living son. She knew that if he continued there was a strong chance of he would get beat up with a baton or shot for being part of of riot mob attacking police with deadly weapons. She did what, in her "professional" judgment (who else in the world knew him half as well as she does?!) and fear, she knew was most likely to get him to stop. He turned back, and is alive and intact; he is alive, and knows that his Mom loves him desperately enough to to literally beat some sense into him.
I know some pundits and normal people questioning what she did are not fully idiots. But she has her son alive and unharmed. The lesser measures they propose from the comforts of their armchairs and desk chairs might not have worked, and her son arrested, or severely beaten, or killed, or trampled in/by the crowd. As for the armchair idiots at DU or the WashPost, all I hear is regret that there was one fewer teens throwing rocks, bricks, and bottles at the police the pund-iots, in the comfort of their armchairs and comfy homes, deem EEEEEEEE-vile.
I wasn't very brief, I guess. The bottom line is that Toya Graham and her son are both alive and both unharmed, due to her action.

The show trial has begun.
Prosecutor Plans Homicide Charges Against Police in Freddie Gray Case
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/02/us/freddie-gray-autopsy-report-given-to-baltimore-prosecutors.html?_r=0
BALTIMORE — The state’s attorney of Baltimore, in an unexpected announcement, said Friday that she had probable cause to file homicide, manslaughter and misconduct charges against the police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, who died after sustaining a spinal cord injury while in police custody.
In a news conference Friday, the state’s attorney, Marilyn J. Mosby, said that the death of Mr. Gray had been ruled a homicide and that the police had been negligent in his death.

Homicide charges filed against all 6 officers.
so a black mayor, a black police chief, and now a black atty, all flaming libs, are now starting a trial as the evidence unravels before them. Life in a liberal city: Soviet style show trials. Let the jury tampering begin.

Joan Walsh from Salon is getting in on the "racist" act.
Ptarmigan is on to something big...
By now, most of us have seen "Baltimore Mom" Toya Graham take matters into her own hands when she saw her son participating in Monday’s rioting in Baltimore.
The video of Graham going after her 16-year-old son went viral, making her somewhat of a celebrity, others would say hero.
Many have applauded Graham and her actions, while some in the media – particularly in liberal outlets like Salon.com and The Washington Post -- have condemned those who praise Graham for having "…chased down, cursed and beat her 16-year-old son in the middle of a riot."
Take for instance, this gem from an absurd piece written by Salon editor-at-large Joan Walsh, who denounces the "hideous white hypocrisy" behind the praise of Ms. Graham:
The debate over the moment Graham says she “lost it†is complex.
There’s a parallel black debate going on that, as always when it comes to racial issues, is richer and more nuanced.
But anyone white who’s applauding Graham’s moment of desperation, along with the white media figures who are hyping her “heroism,†is essentially justifying police brutality, and saying the only way to control black kids is to beat the shit out of them.
What Graham did to her 16 year old son wasn’t a beating, as concerned moms of every color can attest.
But Walsh, perhaps because of the elite liberal circles she travels in, seems to think “white folks†eschew corporal punishment when it comes to their kids:
The hypocrisy of the white mainstream applauding Graham is sickening.
Let’s be honest:
many white folks are reflexive critics of the greater frequency of corporal punishment in the black community.
Well, this white Irish-Italian Catholic grew up in a household that practiced corporal punishment and I fail to see why giving a kid a spanking or a rebellious, backtalking teenager a slap across the cheek is racial in any way.
On the other hand, we shouldn’t be so shocked that Walsh would hack out such nonsense over at Salon.
The Washington Post, liberal but far more rational than Salon, is a little bit different.
Stacey Patton, who is a senior enterprise reporter for the Chronicle of Higher Education, wrote a story for the Post titled, "Why is America celebrating the beating of a black child?"
Patton, who is black, admitted that her “adoptive mother… publicly beat me when I was a child,†so it’s not hard to see why she would take issue with Graham’s actions.
But rather than addressing why she feels such actions are counterproductive, she launched into a leftist tirade.
Black mothers, Patton complained, only get praise when they “fulfill stereotypes of mammies, angry and thwarting resistance to a system designed to kill their children.â€
Patton continued by offering a history lesson of “black mother beatings†for her readers:
The beatings originated with white supremacy, a history of cultural and physical violence that devalues black life at every turn.
From slavery through Jim Crow, from the school-to-prison pipeline, the innocence and protection of black children has always been a dream deferred.
To laud Ms. Graham, Patton insisted, only serves to “[distract] from a hard truth:
It doesn’t matter how black children behave… they risk being killed and blamed for their own deaths because black youths are rarely viewed as innocent or worthy of protection.â€
Surely Patton is aware that people of ALL races (yes, including African-American) are praising the “Baltimore Mom,†but, you see, she insist that white supremacy has brainwashed people of all races and backgrounds, including Ms. Graham, who, “Rather than embracing her son Michael, rather than hearing and seeing his pain and assuring him that she’s got his back, Graham beat and shamed him in front of the world.â€
Seriously?! Would Patton have rather Ms. Graham had tried putting her son in time-out?
As infuriating as Patton and Walsh’s absurd left-wing drivel-filled arguments are, they are serving a purpose:
reminding us all that it is liberals who are out of touch with reality, completely clueless about the parenting experiences of everyday Americans liberal or conservative, black or white.

"Community Organizers" are calling for nation wide protests on Saturday. :popcorn:

Walsh gets paid for such nonsense? OK, I've "applauded Graham’s moment of desperation", and I'm white. But I have never and never would "say the only way to control black kids is to beat the shit out of them." I'm not that stupid, nor am I the racist Graham assumes me to be. I applauded one Mom's desperate act that saved her only son from doing something stupid that could have lead to his death or severe injury. One Mom, one son, not all black Moms, not all black sons or children.
Maybe Walsh is one of those Progs who is POed that Toya Graham kept her son from joining the rioters?!
... many white folks are reflexive critics of the greater frequency of corporal punishment in the black community.
Well I half-appreciate Walsh's half-honesty in not smearing all white folks. But the folks who are critical of "the greater frequency of corporal punishment in the black community" (is that a veiled reference to that NFL player who got entangled in the legal system recently over corporal punishment?) tend to criticize corporal punishment generally, regardless of the ethnic origins of the ones doing the spanking. In my experience a majority of those who call spanking "child abuse" are of the Lib/Prog persuasion. I cannot think of any exceptions, but I don't seek out such folk. So maybe Ms. Walsh should have saved this line for her next cocktail party with her Lib/Prog friends! That would probably simplify her social calendar!

SHERIFF: Baltimore State’s Atty Marilyn Mosby Charged Wrong People, Wrong Names, Wrong Addresses of 2 Officers
“When Miss Mosby stood up in front of the world with her theatrics at her press conference last Friday she charged two of the wrong people. Now, when I say she charged two of the wrong people, I don’t mean she charged two of the wrong officers. I mean she charged the wrong people. Innocent people. Of the six police officers that were charged two of them were charged under the wrong names, the wrong dates of birth and the wrong addresses.
And because of that, reporters went to the wrong addresses of these innocent people, these private citizens and whose lives have now been invaded. They went to their homes, knocked on their doors. They harassed them. They went to their neighbors and attempted to get interviews. And it wasn’t until these innocent people these private citizens contacted their local state’s attorney’s offices that this problem was rectified.â€

Baltimore riots will cost city at least $20 million - and all the estimates aren't in yet
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/05/27/baltimore-riots-will-cost-city-at-least-20-million/?intcmp=latestnews
The recent Baltimore riots will cost the city at least a staggering $20 million - and all the estimates aren't in yet.
According to the Baltimore Sun, the $20 million figure includes expenses for police and firefighter overtime, damage to city-owned property and payment to other jurisdictions that assisted with policing duties.
Baltimore’s finance director, Henry J. Raymond, said that the city can cover the costs from its rainy day fund, but that it is only a temporary solution and that they are planning on requesting up to 75 percent reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
I suspect it will be way more including loss tax bases as people are less likely to invest in Baltimore.

Why do people do this? I mean, not to sound racist, but not many white people do this when whites are killed (by other whites or by blacks). They let the Justice System do it's job and accept the verdict, and if they protest it is done in a peaceful, lawful way.
Yet black people seem to just go no-holds-bar crazy when blacks die at the hands of whites.
Just curious as to the mindset behind burning and looting, and how it's supposed to solve anything.

Why did they even bother to have the police and firefighters work overtime? The cops weren't allowed to do anything, and the firefighters were hampered by the looters.

In my opinion, there is no rationale reason.
They are simply empowered by their leaders.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake: "In a press conference on Saturday, she said that she ordered cops to allow “those who wished to destroy space to do that.â€

More recently, Michelle Obama @ a College graduation:
http://patriotretort.com/dianny-attempts-to-slog-through-michelles-oberlin-speech/
The 2nd link I just happened to find. Its written by Diann Russell. She was for many years a die-hard liberal. But then she changed: "Liberalism is a house of cards built on a foundation of feelings. Thinking, especially independent thinking, is not encouraged. Every argument, no matter what the issue, always boils down to feelings"
"In 2006, I officially left the Democrat Plantation."
"I consider myself more a Conservative than a Republican."
One more post, please, this says it all:
"Obama didn’t spring fully formed, unique and singularly different from every other Democrat. He’s exactly what Liberalism is – socialist policies draped in the robe of feel-goodism. The difference between Obama and other Liberals is he doesn’t just show a little leg, but exposes the sickening socialistic underbelly of Liberalism. In Obama, all pretense has been stripped away."

This is enough to make one cry.
A mother & her 7 year old son were fatally shot. Jennifer Brown, 31 & her son, Tony.
Fraternal Order of Police lodge 3:
"The criminals are taking advantage of the situation in Baltimore since the unrest. Criminals feel empowered now. There is no respect. Police are under siege in every quarter. They are more afraid of going to jail for doing their jobs properly than they are of getting shot on duty. Right now they can go to jail for following Supreme Court decisions such as Illinois v. Wardlow. The Baltimore States Attorney’s Office essentially overturned the Supreme Court’s decision. We hope that all leadership will come together to support the police to move the community forward."

It's an AP story, so link only. My comments are simply this -- that when anarchy and lawlessness strike and the very officers that are charged with keeping the peace are afraid to do so not so much for their own safety (which is a huge thing all by itself) but because the city "leadership" doesn't have their back, hey, good people die.
I'm glad to read that the cops have lawyered up and are counter-charging the DA with terminal stupidity, along with other stuff.

B I don't recall the link I tread but in the article it quoted a 26 year old women that has 7 kids as saying she wishes the cops were back on every corner like it used to be.....26 and has 7 kids.....I'd say the future for Baltimore is still bleak for years to come.

7 kids? Chances are at least 5 different daddies -- and they're most likely in prison.

How about some hypocrisy, Baltimore style.
I go back to the statement when Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake told police to give the protestors "space to destroy."
Well, now Baltimore's Mayor & Governor Larry Hogan are asking for $20 million from a FEMA grant to fix up the city.
The audacity! We, the taxpayers, without representation, are going to fix a city that was not only willfully destroyed, but the violence was encouraged by many political leaders.

Marilyn Mosby Filed Gag Order Motion IN THE WRONG COURT
http://dailycaller.com/2015/06/09/marilyn-mosby-filed-gag-order-motion-in-the-wrong-court/
Baltimore city state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby’s motion for a gag order in the Freddie Gray case was denied Monday because the prosecutor filed paperwork in the wrong court.
Mosby’s May 14 motion, filed in Baltimore’s circuit court, was intended to block witnesses, attorneys and police from speaking publicly about the Gray case. Six officers have been indicted on a total of 28 felony charges related to Gray’s April 12 arrest. The 25-year-old Gray died April 19. His death was ruled a homicide.
Judge Charles Peters slapped down Mosby’s motion, citing jurisdictional issues, The Baltimore Sun reported. The cases for the six officers were still on the district court’s docket when the motion was filed. The cases were only moved to the circuit court on May 21, after a grand jury indicted the officers.
The stupid is strong! :mental:
