Sorry my wife's suggested title offended so many. She was impressed by it and thought it might be something nice to show.

CNN: Baltimore police probe into Freddie Gray’s death fails to support charges against cops

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/cnn-baltimore-police-probe-into-black-mans-death-fails-to-support-charges-against-cops/comments/#disqus


The Baltimore police investigation into the death of a black man from injuries sustained in police custody fails to support some charges filed by the city prosecutor, CNN reported on Thursday.

Citing officials briefed on the separate probes by prosecutor Marilyn Mosby and police into the death of Freddie Gray, the television news network said the lack of support for charges from the police findings could allow lawyers representing the officers to undercut the prosecution.


Gray, 25, sustained spinal injuries after being arrested, and his death on April 19 sparked protests and a day of arson and looting in the largely African American city.

Mosby charged six officers on Friday with counts ranging from false imprisonment to manslaughter and second-degree murder. She made her announcement hours after the state medical examiner ruled the death a homicide and a day after police turned over their findings about Gray’s arrest.

Has anyone done a second or third interview for a job?

All my wife's career life she has never had a multi-level interview. It was usually just the one interview and was either hired or not.

Can anyone suggest what type of questions to prepare for or what type of websites should be looked at.


She is planning on researching the company more this weekend.


Additional questions. Should she bring more resumes?

My wife was asked to go for a second interview at a perspective employer but she is worried she

messed something up. She has a doctor's appointment for the time they wanted to meet her and asked if the meeting could be reschedule for 2 hours later.


She is going through a staffing agency so she is waiting on them to tell her the employer's response. She is concerned the employer would hold that against her.


Also she has never been on a second interview. So any tips would be helpful.

Was the knife legal or illegal? Has civics class failed me?

With the Freddie Gray case:

I hear people saying that Baltimore had some sort of ordinance stating the knife he had was illegal BUT if I remember civics class city law gets trumped by state law which gets trump by federal law.


So are people trying to make Ms. Mosby look bad or is it media causing more trouble?

Cop tells my wife: "Walk softer."

Well, down stairs neighbors just stooped to a new low. My wife hasn't been sleeping well so what little sleep she had last night was interrupted by a cop knocking at our door at 3am. She had been laying in bed when nature called. She got out of bed almost fell down but tripped a little in the sheets so she manage to get to the bathroom than she lays back down. Not even 5 minutes later there was a knock a the door. It seems the neighbors downstairs called the police because of loud pounding. He asked what my wife was doing than and my wife said she was trying to sleep ( she was half asleep.) so then he said Why do you think they are complaining about the noise. My wife is starting to get pissed and she said I don't know maybe I'm a fat girl just walking around my house. and He took my wife's name and our phone number and told her to walk softer.





My wife did write them a note today stating that she didn't know walking around in her own house constituted a call to the cops next time she'll pee the bed to make them happy.


She said to me since the woman below us didn't want animals around because they would be smelly YET this woman has bird feeders on her porch encouraging not only birds but other wild animals to hover around the complex.

Talk about Hypocrites.
