Note to all prosecutors. Never allow public pressure and your personal biases dictate your duties.
Evidence is still what wins and loses cases.

A total of $167,000 in back pay is going to officers Alicia White and William Porter.

In 2015, Freddie Gray died from a neck injury while in the custody of Baltimore police, and all of the officers involved in the arrest and charged with felonies related to his death have been acquitted.

Monday, two of them got more news: big checks.


The Baltimore Sun reports that Alicia White and William Porter, two of the officers who were there the day Gray was placed in the back of a police van, where doctors believe his spine was severed, will receive a combined $167,000 ($98,855 to White and $70,523 to Porter) in back pay. They’ve both been suspended without pay since May 1, 2015. Now that they’ve been found not guilty, the department’s policy entitles them to be compensated for all the time they would have been working.

The two are just the latest officers involved in Gray’s death to receive back pay since it was determined that they were not criminally responsible. According to the Baltimore Sun, Ceasar Goodson was paid $87,705 in July. Brian Rice got $126, 917 earlier this month.

Prosecutors failed to convince jurors that the officers had caused Gray's death by failing to secure him in a seat belt in the back of the van.

Gray’s death was a cause of protests and riots when it occurred, with Baltimore residents expressing frustration and dismay with what they said was ongoing police abuse in the city’s African-American communities.

Freddie Gray was responsible for his death.....if you fight with police during a lawful arrest....you take your life in your hands...he escalated the fight.......not the police.

Grey was obviously murdered by the pig who forcefully kneed him in the spine for no legitimate reason whatsoever.

I saw the video.

Freddie Gray was responsible for his death.....

A predator could make the same argument regarding victims too. Something like:
"If the victim had just stood very still, I wouldn't have chased after them and killed them"

Unfortunately for poor Freddy, he ran, and that is what he was arrested and ultimately killed for. The police don't even deny his running was the reason for his arrest:
**The account is provided in charging documents filed in District Court, where officer Garrett Miller wrote that Gray was stopped because he "fled unprovoked upon noticing police presence."**

Source: Freddie Gray repeatedly asked for medical care, police said Monday

Here's a little hint for Mr. Miller- maybe, just maybe, he "feared for his life", as cops often like saying. If so, his fear was clearly warranted.
