Also remember that this is 6 million in a municipality that caps the settlement awards at 200 thousand per incident.

Why are people burning their city to the ground in Baltimore? How doe Looting and Mob Violence Help?
by PokerPlayerPhil init's hard enough for businesses to enter these areas the government once had to offer up tax breaks to service them.
in watts, california it took decades for city residents to get a grocery store after the thugs burned their businesses to the ground.
you can see the insanity taking place, when you allow mobs and fools to burn building down nothing good comes from it.

What do we know for sure Simon?
1. The initial arrest was illegal. The police had no probable cause for the arrest.
2. The police officers broke department policy by not rendering medical attention to Mr Gray
3. The way that Mr Gray was transported in the van was against police department policy.
4. There where unreported stops that the police van made .
5 The medical examiner has determined that Mr Gray's death was a homicide, and it was determined that Mr Gray could not have self inflicted his injuries.
6. Baltimore police have a known history of using these rides to inflict injury to persons in custody.( The police Chief, former Baltimore policemen , as well as previous court decisions have already spoken of to this)

Why are you so hell bent on defending the policeman Simon. Even the arrest has been deemed illegal in the first place. The refusal of the policemen to render medical aid is a crime .The inconsistencies in the police accounts should give you room for pause. The pattern of abuse by Baltimore PD was well known. Please read what a former Baltimore detective commented....
The place where prosecutors say Freddie Gray was fatally injured - the back of a Baltimore police van - is “like a black hole,” a former detective told the Daily News.
“Nobody can see what’s going on over there,” Joseph Crystal said Friday - and that was apparently how cops liked it.
The department “has a history of covering up wrongdoing,” the 31-year-old said.
SIX BALTIMORE POLICE OFFICERS CHARGED IN FREDDIE GRAY DEATH
Crystal was a detective in the BPD until Aug. 14 of last year, when he says he was hounded off the force for blowing the whistle on police brutality.
Crystal had the guts to tell Baltimore officials what he’d seen on Oct. 27, 2011, when a handcuffed drug suspect was taken out of a police van to the home of an off-duty officer named Anthony Williams at Williams’ request.
Crystal later testified that Williams dragged the suspect, Antoine Green, into the back of the house where he began beating him
Do I support rioting ? No , However I do support justice.

It is not a question of police officers abusing race as I see it. It is a question of police officers abusing the citizens in general. They are not mandated to be judge jury and executioners. I am going to relate to you an experience my younger brother had. He has never been convicted of so much as a misdemeanor by the way. He was about 21 at the time of the incident . He slapped a street sign as he was walking down the street. (this is not against the law btw) He was beat up by 2 police officers . He was handcuffed then put in the back of a police cruiser. He asked what he was being arrested for. They laughed at him. He then requested that his rights be read. The officers laughed and proceeded to read him his rights in Spanish (my brother is an American who was born in the US). They then decided to give him a ride. They repeatedly slammed on the cruiser brakes causing my brothers face to be cut up by the grate that separates the officers from the prisoners. I was notified by one of his friends that he was arrested. I of course went right down to the police station. Low and behold he was still not there. I traveled over 1/2 an hour to get to the police station. where my brother was arrested was less than 5 minutes from the station. I left the station and waited for him to call. I guess when they finally got to the station the booking officer had a fit. You see one of my uncles happens to be a county judge and low and behold the police chief happens to be the godfather to my half sister. All of a sudden all record of his arrest disappeared. I picked up my brother at 3 am . My brother and I later talked to the police chief who assured us that the officers would be disciplined internally.
My point is not all victims of police abuse are criminals as some of you believe. We are a nation of laws . These laws must apply to all citizen and police alike. If this is not the case civil unrest most assuredly will occur. Is the looting justified? Of course not!!! Should police be held to a higher standard? Of course. Only in this way can they become respected by the community.

When you were Hard-Core JW, did Opponents Screaming or Filming you help your Exit?
by PokerPlayerPhil inall of us are upset in different ways, some of us are ferociously angry because, let's face it, it's our fault!
i had many clues they were lying about our religion but i failed to see through them because of the pain of admitting we got conned and family pressure from peers stopped me from making a courageous choice.
when i read about people who confronted the elders and won their judicial committees (even though the jw elders df'ed them) my heart goes out to their courage, their amazingly stronger than i will ever be.

I actually was 225 pounds of raw testosterone filled muscle in my late teens early 20s . They used me as security at the assemblies. I was supposed to keep a close eye on the protesters , "above all do not let them get to the stage" we where cautioned. I was brainwashed and the more they yelled the more convinced I was that there message was evil. They were mislead I was convinced.. Boy was I a fool. By the time I was in my mid 20s I realized it was me who was mislead. -

The mathematical probability of spontaneous order (no designer/creator)
by Fernando inthere seem to be many prerequisites for life as we know it.. to name a few: order, function, compatibility, availability, sustainability, intelligence, consciousness, intuition and so on.. focusing on only one, namely order.. what are the chances of order arising spontaneously, by chance, with no creator/designer?.
i have often pondered this and recently came across a mathematical summary of the big picture:.
if every particle in the known physical universe (10^80 particles), participated in one trillion interactions (10^12 interactions) per second, for the entire 30 billion years of the universe's existence (10^18 seconds), then we would by now have covered only 10^110 permutations.. if you had only 100 components in a container, what are the chances that a blindfolded person could lay them out in order on a table?.

There has already been an experiment that proves it is possible.
The Miller–Urey experiment[1] (or Miller experiment)[2] was a chemical experiment that simulated the conditions thought at the time to be present on the early Earth, and tested the chemical origin of life. Specifically, the experiment tested Alexander Oparin's and J. B. S. Haldane's hypothesis that conditions on the primitive Earth favoured chemical reactions that synthesized more complex organic compounds from simpler inorganic precursors. Considered to be the classic experiment investigating abiogenesis, it was conducted in 1952[3] by Stanley Miller, under the supervision of Harold Urey, at the University of Chicago and later the University of California, San Diego and published the following year.[4][5][6]
After Miller's death in 2007, scientists examining sealed vials preserved from the original experiments were able to show that there were actually well over 20 different amino acids produced in Miller's original experiments. That is considerably more than what Miller originally reported, and more than the 20 that naturally occur in life.[7] There is abundant evidence of major volcanic eruptions 4 billion years ago, which would have released carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere. Experiments using these gases in addition to the ones in the original Miller experiment have produced more diverse molecules.[8] More recent evidence suggests that Earth's original atmosphere might have had a different composition from the gas used in the Miller experiment. But prebiotic experiments continue to produce simple to complex compounds under varying conditions.[9]

Individuals are flawed....
Looking at this article it really makes it look like an organization is hiding the situation. Yes, I am studying to be a witness, but at the same time I am allowed by the faith to have my own opinions. When kids are abused and the parents don't do anything that is the parents not the religion. When an a person in leadership molests someone it is that individuals fault not the belief.
As far as letting sex offenders etc in the halls. Can I ask one simple question?
What religion out there does background checks on the members of the congregation.Religion is based on faith.... if you don't believe in one or the other... well believe what you wish.... but why is alright to take a broad brush and say Jehovahs Witnesses as a group.... instead of flawed individuals that are still subject to the regular laws.....

They view refusal to participate in a jc as a request for disassociation. I wish that when they requested a meeting with me that I was brave enough to not participate in their kangaroo court. -

Wait till the elders find out your playing mine craft. They will be taking you to the back room for council.
