Worst part?We can't fight back.
If we defend ourselves, we got a worse beating, and we got the charge of resisting arrest, if we survive, that is.
It's really ****ed up and sad that we have to live like this, afraid of the people that are supposed to protect us. What if one of us is put in this situation?
Misguided

Correction: Perhaps you can't fight back. Thankfully, many true Americans who will always have a fighting spirit don't share your defeatist attitude. Good thing that the American Revolution wasn't fought by pansies like you.
Uh, if you fought back, not only would you get a charge, but you will not be able to take on the ever-increasing police force that is beating the living shit out of you.
I don't care if you're Bruce Lee, police have too many numbers, and if one of them has one mindset, it's obvious tons more will do the same thing.
Of course, if I thought my life was threatened, I'd fight for my life, but I'd lose, and so would you.

heres a thought how about not breaking the law
Looking at Gray's arrest record, he has a fairly long one, mostly drug dealing and possession.
So the man was a criminal, but does being a criminal mean the police can damage your spine and larynx to the point you go into a coma and die while being transported?

Maybe this is just an excuse to steal things
There is no maybe here, none of this has to do with Freddy Gray really.
Here is the truly sick thing: the mayor. This b*tch actually talked about giving these people "space" for them to destroy stuff. How has this women not been removed from her position as mayor? What hope does the city have with a mayor like that?
Here is her full quote:
"I made it very clear that I work with the police and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters were able to exercise their right to free speech,” Rawlings-Blake said. “It’s a very delicate balancing act. Because while we try to make sure that they were protected from the cars and other things that were going on, we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that as well. And we worked very hard to keep that balance and to put ourselves in the best position to de-escalate".
The mind boggles..and I kind of want to slap this woman. Stop coddling the damn criminals. If this woman isn't removed from her position..well, that's just unacceptable if she gets to stay and earn a paycheck despite spouting stupid crap like this.

Even worse are the people telling us we are WRONG for interpreting her statement that way. They say "oh she didn't mean that, she meant they gave space to peaceful protesters, but as a result that also gave space to rioters".
Even though she quite clearly flat out says "we also gave space to those who wished to destroy as well". It's like..damn, how DARE we accuse her of saying..what she said.

So they are saying its wrong to point out what she said? Wtf?
Yep, and calling people stupid for interpreting the statement the way they did. Even though her statement is quite clear.
These are probably the same people complaining about that mother who was slapping the crap out of her kid for being involved in the riots. Even though that is exactly what parents should be doing to kids who do this kind of thing, some went on whiny little tangents about how horrible it was and how her being a bad parent is the reason the kid turned out that way. Which means they legitimately believe that in the history of the human race..we've never had people who had good parents who still turned out to be criminals.
It's a scary thought the depths people will go to..to try to swing the conversation in a direction away from what matters. They are almost worse then the rioters because they want to pretend like they are ostriches and just stick their damn heads into the ground.

😕 Um....source?
Just so I'm clear, you believe Gray deserves no protests for his death and EVERY person protesting out there is some kind of criminal. You do know that in practically every culture and group of society, there are opportunists looking to exploit a tragedy. This case is especially understandable since most of looters seem to be immature high school students. There are others out there who are actually peacefully protesting about a horrific murder in which a guy's spine was snapped like a twig out of cruelty, but you don't seem to care about that.
And again, if you're saying Gray's death shouldn't be protested period, you're saying we should be complacent with police brutality.

That's exactly what you're doing. Shifting the conversation from a horrifying murder by police to dumb high school kids looting.
