Alan Dershowitz says charges against Baltimore officers will be dropped

 

Examiner.com..."In an exclusive interview with NewsMax TV on Saturday, Alan Dershowitz, a lawyer, jurist, author, political commentator and a prominent scholar on constitutional and criminal law stated that the charges against the Baltimore police officers would be dropped due to lack of evidence. Dershowitz appeared on NewsMaxs', “The Steve Malzberg Show” in which he explained that this is not only a sad day in America but also that under the Constitution, the only people who are entitled to justice are the defendants, those who are charged with a crime, not based on political justice or agendas.

Dershowitz

"Dershowitz told Malzberg, “This is a very sad day for justice. Today had nothing to do with justice. Today was crowd control. Everything was motivated by a threat of riots and a desire to prevent riots. The mayor outrageously said we're going to get justice for the victim, the family and people of Baltimore, never mentioning the defendants. Under our Constitution, the only people who are entitled to justice are the defendants.”

“ 'They are presumed innocent, they need due process of law, and the mayor and the state attorney have made it virtually impossible for these defendants to get a fair trial. They have been presumed guilty, “Dershowitz said. “I understand why the mayor and state attorney want to prevent riots… but that's not the job of the justice system. You cannot allow police officers or any other defendants to become scapegoats for crowds demanding a continuation of rioting.”

"Dershowitz’s comments comes days after the start of the riots and the ensuing decision by the Mayor of Baltimore who issued orders for the police to stand down and not fight back. As a result, over 100 Baltimore police officers were injured and some had to take medical leave due to the seriousness of their injuries. The Baltimore Police Capt. Eric Kowalczyk had stated they were not pelted with pebbles, but with bricks and some with embedded glass were thrown at his officers."

 

Perhaps The One Should Try Some Soul Searching?

Voice of Lillpop..."Barack Obama finally took time to address the arson, looting, and violent assault on law enforcement officers in the city of Baltimore, less than 50 miles from the comfy confines of the White House and all the privileges that come to those lucky enough to call 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue home.

"The One took the opportunity to make political hay from the tragic events by blaming society for ignoring poverty, and by demanding a campaign of ‘soul-searching’ for the police, the looters, and all of the rest of America, except, that is, his administration and the flawed Democrat politicians in charge of the afflicted city.

"Obama’s dance around the facts included his curious silence concerning the statement by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, a Democrat, about “Leaving space to destroy,” a perfect synopsis of the liberal mindset on violence, riots, and looters.

"Above all else, the Mayor was reminding PC-addled residents, that she was watching out for the best interests of the looters, rioters, arsonists and other destroyers, while every one else was fretting, unnecessarily, about the safety and lives of the police.

"Clearly, in the mind of Mayor Blake, the police needed no advocacy since they were armed to the teeth and, after all, it was they who killed Freddie Gray, said murder providing provocation for the justifiable mob violence, which needed space.

"Barack Obama picked up on the Mayor’s odd thesis with these words: We can’t just leave this to the police,” Obama said. “There are police departments that have to do some soul-searching. I think there are some communities that have to do some soul-searching. But I think we as a country have to do some soul-searching. This is not new. It’s been going on for decades.”

“Obama said that the country had left behind impoverished communities that had been “stripped of opportunity”, in which children born into poverty are given little chance to obtain an education or to make a living outside the drug trade”

"Once again, the ugly head of progressive lunacy emerges as Obama blamed lack of opportunity, poverty, and societal indifference for the fact that Baltimore has been torched and police officers seriously injured!

"If only white society would join us in spending another 13-14 trillion dollars, he was suggesting, we could transform Baltimore into a bountiful metropolis, worthy of emulation throughout America and the world.

"A question lingers: If it is true that the lack of education and jobs are the cause of black distress in Baltimore and throughout America, why in the hell is Obama issuing unlawful Executive Orders to bring tens of millions of foreign illegal aliens into the nation?*

"Illegal aliens who are not citizens, do not speak English, are unskilled, and who will compete directly with black CITIZENS for employment and prosperity opportunities?

"Perhaps Obama himself should do some soul searching to determine why stuffing Democrat Party voter rolls with foreign invaders through unconstitutional Executive Orders is more important than the well being and success of black CITIZENS?"  *Emphasis mine, TD 

 

The Great American Traveling Riot Circus

 

Clarice Feldman   . . . "In the United States for the past few years the traveling inner city riots seem to be playing the same role with their own stock characters.

"There are the young men who died in the course of criminal acts, portrayed at first by the media as innocent children who later turn out to have extensive rap sheets; the cops brought to the scene for gladiatorial type contests with stone throwing mobs; the press chasing, and sometimes by their presence and words, encouraging the staged battles; and an army of pundits seeing in the chaos whatever visions they project onto it. In the rear of the tent organizing the events are leftwing agitators, Black Muslims, and anarchists who show up with preprinted T-shirts and placards and plaintiffs’ counsels and race baiters stirring the pot for their share of whatever settlements they can get for representing the aggrieved family (who generally seem not to have paid much attention to the deceased when he lived). The referees are local officials too often swayed by the mob's call for blood. Instead of Christians, the sacrifices are small merchants, often Korean or Jewish, who eke out meager livings providing services to the underserved poor and the decent citizens of those communities whose lives are upended and slim resources diminished. Another sacrifice is the weakening of the communal bonds of trust and respect for law that make America work and the increased likelihood of ever more urban violence.

"Like the Brown, Martin, and Garner riots before them, the Baltimore riots follow this program."

Read about the cast:
 A)  The Dead Man...
 B)  The Cops...
 C) The Press...
 D) The Pundits...

 What also deserves mention is that in the face of all of this, many black Baltimoreans in the riot area turned out to try to prevent the looting and to stand as shield between the cops and the rioters. Bless the peacemakers. Bless those who play by the rules and trust fact over emotion. Without them we will all live in chaos, violence and want. (Emphasis added)

What also must be asked, is how much of the president’s and former Attorney General Eric Holder’s and Sharpton’s, conduct  and speech are part and parcel of Obama’s new push for federalizing local law enforcement?

Lloyd Marcus: #WhiteLivesMatter

Lloyd Marcus

"A picture online showed a white Baltimore business owner with friends standing guard in front of his establishment, protecting his livelihood from looters.  The men were armed with ax handles and a big dog.  The image gave me a queasy feeling.

"Don't get me wrong – I sympathize with the business owner.

"Baltimore's wacko liberal mayor ordered police to “let them loot, it's only property.”

. . . "White cops killing a black person is extremely rare (1%).  Blacks routinely kill blacks, over 90% of the time.  Stats confirm that the left has created a climate in which it is open season on whites, sparking violent assaults on whites across America.

"So tell me, folks: how long can you poke innocent people (whites) in the eye with a stick, expecting them not to push back?" . . .

"Blackwell was charged with attempted murder, assault and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, authorities said." . . .

Israel’s military edge at risk as Obama ‘scrambles’ to placate Arab fears on Iran deal

 NY Times says US could sell F-35s to UAE three years after Israel gets them, may offer Gulf allies defense pacts, joint training, upgraded status

 "The Obama administration is said to be “scrambling” to find ways to reassure Arab allies that it is not abandoning them, despite the imminent nuclear deal with Iran. To that end, it is considering a range of options such as weapons sales that might reduce Israel’s hitherto sacrosanct military edge, The New York Times reported Friday, including selling the F-35 fighter jet to the United Arab Emirates.

"Among the options cited by the paper as being under consideration: A defense pact under which the US would commit “to the defense of Arab allies if they come under attack from outside forces”; joint training missions for American and Arab military forces; designating Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as “major non-NATO allies,” a step that would loosen restrictions on weapons sales and offer “a number of military advantages that are available only to NATO allies”; and approving the sale of its advanced F-35 stealth fighter to the UAE three years after it is delivered to Israel." . . .Read more ...
