Baltimore

It's the joke that goes with everything.

 

It should be similar to open-carry alcohol laws. Legal on your property, but illegal in public spaces.

Drinking is OK, but I don't need a handful of people getting shitfaced right in front of my house.

 

I might invite them in to share it with me. That seemed to work just fine as an undergrad at the University of Wisconsin. Of course we were mostly white kids and not scary negroes.

 

Apparently. I'd call the cops if I smelled weed in my house.

 

Depends on if the soda in their scotch and soda is aspartame-free.

 

Prisoner in van said Freddie Gray was ‘banging against the walls’ during ride

A prisoner sharing a police transport van with Freddie Gray told investigators that he could hear Gray “banging against the walls” of the vehicle and believed that he “was intentionally trying to injure himself,” according to an investigative document obtained by The Washington Post.

The prisoner, who is currently in jail, was separated from Gray by a metal partition and could not see him. His statement is contained in an application for a search warrant, which is sealed by the court. The Post was given the document under the condition that the prisoner not be named because the person who provided it feared for the inmate’s safety.

The document, written by a Baltimore police investigator, offers the first glimpse of what might have happened inside the van. It is not clear whether any additional evidence backs up the prisoner’s version.

Gray was found unconscious in the wagon when it arrived at a police station on April 12.

Freddie Gray not the first to come out of Baltimore police van with serious injuries

When a handcuffed Freddie Gray was placed in a Baltimore police van on April 12, he was talking and breathing. When the 25-year-old emerged, "he could not talk and he could not breathe," according to one police official, and he died a week later of a spinal injury.

But Gray is not the first person to come out of a Baltimore police wagon with serious injuries.

Relatives of Dondi Johnson Sr., who was left a paraplegic after a 2005 police van ride, won a $7.4 million verdict against police officers. A year earlier, Jeffrey Alston was awarded $39 million by a jury after he became paralyzed from the neck down as the result of a van ride. Others have also received payouts after filing lawsuits.

Hell no.

Would you call the cops if they were drinking a beer?

 

Do any of you morons own homes, have kids? Your goddamn right I'd call the cops if someone is drinking or getting high in front of my house.

 

No shit. I have a couple of neighbors who smoke weed. Who gives a shit? Why can't some people mind their own business?

 

Well, yeah, if they're just standing on the sidewalk smoking a joint, I'd have an issue. But what the hell are the odds of that happening?
