1. It's been 25 years since Rodney King was brutally beaten and nothing has changed.

3. the corrupt police actions are only going to intensify

and they're not going to be particular about what race or gender the person is in the future.

2. Freddie Gray killed himself

I told yah that ages ago

4. The prosecution repeatedly failed to prove its case

Either to a judge or jury. Dropping the charges against the remaining officers simply reflects there wasn't enough evidence to convict.

5. So nobody killed him.

Huh.

6. He died because he had a broken neck

The prosecution was never able to say who broke his neck, how they broke his neck or why they broke his neck.

The best they could do was say "he broke his neck when he stood up in the back of the van as it was moving." And that's not a criminal offense on behalf of the officers.

Not buckling a seatbelt is not a crime. They tried to get around that by calling it negligence, but the judge clearly didn't buy it.

8. Failing to buckle the seatbelt of a handcuffed prisoner in your custody is NOT a crime?

Well that sucks.

[Calculating]

7. The cops investigated themselves

And found they were guilty of no wrong-doing.
