“The stack of arrests of Mr. Gray suggests that Mr. Gray should have been institutionalized for mental defect.”

They were drug dealing offenses right? I’m not sure that a drug dealing getting frequently charged with crimes means he should be institutionalized.

The subject case is not the only one – Zimmerman being another – that got Alan Dershowitzto to speak out against outrageous overcharging. Not belting a passenger in a van would be a dubious means to murder; thus the murder charge is wrong. Mr. Gray was retarded or near retarded. His inexplicable behavior would be unforeseeable; thus the negligent homicide charge is wrong. Thank goodness there is at least a union to protect the Baltimore officers from the mob.

The stack of arrests of Mr. Gray suggests that Mr. Gray should have been institutionalized for mental defect. The State of New York provided excellent care to my friend’s retarded daughter. My friend feared the daughter when the daughter’s age, size, and unpredictability put my friend at risk, especially in a car. The daughter was not violent prone, at all. She,, being retarded, didn’t have common sense. .

Of course the Baltimore police union is defending the officers involved in Gray’s death. The primary purpose of police unions is to defend bad cops.
