[TRFG]

that's why I'm asking questions, I don't live there. What do Black people in Baltimore have influence over and how do you personally think it will effect this case?



In your opinion, what will their power and influence have over the determination of the outcome of this case?

Most high ranking government jobs are held by black folk

 

[Why-Fi]

who is the "we" that has power there?

yea black people run the city, the problem is we have a lot of unqualified police. like i said they've been short handed since at least 2001, they had billboards for hiring at one point. i can only speculate exactly how its affected hiring, but its been kind of evident

Ya'll muthafukas that think this shyt is gonna swept under the rug and dismissed like the others have to realize that Baltimore ain't going for this shyt. Like
I pointed out in the beginning of the thread (and others are telling ya'll now) every position of power is held by a Black person. Baltimore is small compared to mostly all the bigger cities but it's still the largest city in Maryland and right next door to DC (which makes it even more important to convict these clowns because it's too close to the White House), 63% of the city is Black oh and the lawyer who has taken the case...BILLY MURPHY WAS ALSO A JUDGE but was making so much bread as a lawyer he said fukk it and stepped down after three years as a circuit court judge. Look at this shyt

This shyt happened in the wrong city this time and the mayor has never had a crisis like this on her hands and may be overwhelmed but she is doing it correctly by making sure she has all the facts the straight before proceeding because she wants to convict these fools. Ya'll keep sleeping on the city of Baltimore, I lived there for 10 years and I can tell you one thing and that is that they stick together.

Theyre employed by all black folks don't forget that. White folks are not in a position of power in this city whatsoever

When this goes to trial theres no way there wont be a mostly black jury.

These cops wont get off. If they did the city would literally burn.

Baltimore goes hard i doubt they let this shyt slide.

Problem is since it's not just one cop who killed him it's hard to charge multiple police.

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

Ya'll fukking crazy, this is what Bmore did after Ferguson, so how you think they gonna carry it when shyt happens in they home?



S/N I know the nikka at the 1:45 mark that they talking to, nikka nickname is Speedy and he most likely drunk as fukk lol

Baltimore is most certainly a Black city. There's a high representation of Black people at all levels in the entire area from Baltimore to DC.

The issue with the police is a cultural one. Police culture is built around protecting the interests of land owning White males regardless of the race of the officer. The officer in modern America is the equivalent of the constable that used to patrol a lord's fiefdom back when England had serfs and shyt. That's why Black cops still act like White cops and get away with treating Black people in a majority Black city like enemies.
