Kevin Moore filmed the police brutally arresting Freddie Gray. That footage went viral and began all of the protests that have been flooding the streets of Baltimore and sweeping the nation ever since. Now, after claiming the police had been harassing and intimidating him after he went public with the footage, Kevin Moore and two members of Cop more...

1. What was this man arrested for?

[underpants]

3. The Baltimore cops are toning it down a bit

They are going to beat the crap out of him in the jail instead of in broad daylight.

[donnasgirl]

10. 1 Other question

Where the hell is the Mayor during this, she should be all over this and making heads roll.

[Skidmore]

14. I don't know.

Note that two members of Cop Watch were also arrested.

[Hoppy]

2. The judgement amount of $6 million that Baltimore police have paid for wrongful arrests,

is about to increase by a couple of million.

[Enthusiast]

7. It is a nationwide phenomenon.

[Dont call me Shirley]

4. They just won't stop will they, the out-of-control lawless police?!

[LiberalArkie]

6. Who's to stop them? The U.S. Justice Dept.. They party together

[Dont call me Shirley]

9. We all must, they are our brothers and sisters, our neighbors, our friends.

We must find a way to appeal to their sense of reason, if there's any left.

[d_legendary1]

12. Money, Corruption, and Brotherhood have imparied their senses

They are only loyal to each other and their masters. Its time to break that cycle.

[LiberalArkie]

21. Just look back in history. Back in the olden days the sheriff was the law enforcement

officer. Like the Sheriff of Nottingham. Law enforcement has always been to protect the people at the top (Primary) and enforce the general laws (Secondary). I don't ever see it changing really. Been that way for hundreds of years. In the U.S. during a small segment of time we have a dept of justice that would sometimes so after local and state Law Enforcement Organizations that did not seem to be following the general rules. But that really does not happen any more because that would tend to interfere with the LEO primary obligation.

[Dont call me Shirley]

36. What you're saying is the way it is and has been, BUT....

We have got to create a way to change that so the system works the same for everyone.

[LiberalArkie]

37. "We the people" used to be white-male-landowners, which made them reasonable wealthy for the era.

We have progressed some. I think as for as racial issues us in the south have progressed more than the people in the north, but we still have a long way to go. I think that once this little toddler of a nation (only 200 years old) can learn from the adult nations in Europe, we will start going on the right track.

[Dont call me Shirley]

38. Although many areas of the country are going backwards such as "The Free State" Kansas.

Texas, Indiana, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina...

5. I see that the baltimore police brought in a backhoe

to continue to dig their hole deeper.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

19. Yep. But it's Iraq war surplus and has a gun turret and a water cannon. So it's a neat toy.

[mountain grammy]

8. Charges? WTF?

[fasttense]

11. Call the Baltimore Police Department at [phone]

What can you to do help Moore, Chad Jackson and Tony White who were arrested with him?

Call the Baltimore Police Department at [phone] and demand that they release these innocent men now! Then help us SPREAD THE WORD!

[blackspade]

13. WTF?

Why on earth would they do this?
It's fucking stupid.

[sabrina 1]

26. This is the second time they have done it. First was Ramsey Orta, who videotaped the murder of

Eric Garner. He was held on Riker's Island until the public donated enough money for his bail. Then they refused to take that money claiming they didn't know if it was legitimate. Public outrage finally forced his release.

His attorneys and many members of the public, who witnessed the harassment he claimed after releasing that video, claim the charges were trumped up.

He is currently no longer living in his old home due to fears of more harassment while out on bail.

[blackspade]

34. A very good point to add.

It is a systemic pattern of intimidation.

[damnedifIknow]

15. Sends a message that if you or yours have us on video we WILL come after you

and we WILL arrest you. Think twice about pushing that record button or face our wrath.

[GoneFishin]

16. Yes. That is what it is about. That, plus a primal revenge response, likely enhanced by steroids.

[Vattel]

17. According to Raw Story he was released two hours after being arrested.

I wonder if someone higher in the chain with common sense and/or decency demanded the release.

[azureblue]

18. more like

Oh, hell, we stepped in it again! Get rid of him quick!

[Vattel]

28. lol, you are prolly right

[blackspade]

20. It was still a false arrest.

and the incident should not be 'let go' just because he was released.

[Orrex]

23. Agreed, but how in the world would we prove that?

If they can kill with impunity, they can certainly come up with a way to explain "erroneously" arresting someone and releasing him.

[blackspade]

25. No need to prove a positive.

[Orrex]

30. Tell it to the judge.

I was hoping for more than a flippant answer.

When it's clear that cops are murdering men and women with no consequences, then it seems unlikely that the machine of justice will rumble into gear to avenge a man held without charge for two hours.

If there is indeed "no need to prove a positive," then tell me how this might be addressed?

[jwirr]

29. If I am not mistaken the SCOTUS just recently said that it is constitutional to film police. He

should sue for false arrest.

[Orrex]

31. Such a lawsuit is almost 100% guaranteed to fail.

They will claim that he was arrested on other charges. They will then claim that a mistake was made and that he was released when the error was realized.

[jwirr]

32. I know - when one is dealing with liars one cannot expect the truth.

[Orrex]

33. It's digsusting

I can feel my blood pressure rise whenever I talk about it, and this is from some generic mutt who's never had a bad interaction with cops. I simply can't imagine dealing with this bullshit on the front lines, as so many innocent people are forced to endure.

[951-Riverside]

22. They did it to intimate and harass them n/t

[allan01]

24. when we stop paying our property taxes and they loose their fancy pensions

as we all ultimatly pay them. i keep saying that the cops were formed to protect the rich from us. if u ask me for a link google it urself.

[hamsterjill]

27. I hope Mr. Moore now has legal representation.

n/t

[cascadiance]

35. They should be charged as accomplices to those charged with Gray's murder!

Since they "aided" those others charged with murders in efforts to try and cover up or impede the ability to get evidence of that crime.
