Lot's of police fuckery tonight. Missed big arrests at city hall, RT has more going on now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMOlEcPm_3I

**notorious bum** · 2015-05-01 21:38

Images are so haunting, can't even watch this shit anymore. Just 100's of police looking to fuck people up and media filming them march down streets like an occupying army.

I heard the PD members posted bail. They all have min. $250k bail. I don't know much and may be completely wrong, but don't you have to post like 10% for bail or something like that? Either way, how did members of a police department pay that...

If it is only 10% (i dont actually know though), is 25k really a big deal to have saved up?

To have liquid, not tied up in an IRA or something? Yeah, actually. Most people don't have liquid savings over 3-5k.

**Restrat** · 2015-05-02 10:29

so then they only needed 5-9 cops to put money in... idk what makes that a big deal

Wot. For reals?

**Koyangi** · 2015-05-02 10:55

The police union that believes they did no wrong could have helped them?

25k bail would take me a full year of 40h a week working to make, not even save it. It would take years to save lol like 10+ atm

You can use property as collateral with some bond agencies, take out a loan, or mortgage your home.

Yeah. but Baltimore cops are probably making at least double that.

Baltimore Sun reported one of them was making 44k/yr.

So assuming they move the trial to a different location whitewash the jury and clean shoot it,how bad of riots are we looking at? State? City? National? Im sure rodeny riots would be nothing compared.

**Tyche** · 2015-05-02 21:03

The people that are too poor or dumb probably don't have 25k liquid. The people that make enough and are smart enough probably have about 3-6 months of salary in emergency funds (which may or may not be in a CD ladder). Everything else is likely invested. So yeah, 25k liquid is quite a bit to have. I'd imagine they used a bond or collateral.

If the union is supporting them, they would post it.

One of my favorite indy journalists I follow on Twitter was arrested last night while filming the second snatch-up of Joseph Kent, the man who was kidnapped on live TV. Lot's of bloodied, beaten, and maced people last night when everyone was occupied by NBA and "the fight of the century." I wouldn't be surprised if protestor numbers swelled after all this curfew muscle-flexing. Shit has gotten old.

White allied protestors allowed 3 warnings AFTER curfew started: https://twitter.com/deray/status/594685998719770624

Rebel white folks in nearby neighborhoods, no curfew in-place, no police.

Media's "freedom pen"

It is being reported that 10 legal observers were arrested tonight by @BaltimorePolice.

Sgt. Alicia White has stated that #FreddieGray was actually unresponsive for TWENTY MINUTES starting at stop #4.

The twitter link https://twitter.com/deray/status/594685998719770624 isn't exactly surprising. The cop asking people to please leave is a Captain going by the insignia on his collar and they're not generally field officers rather than officers in a supervising roll. He acted exactly like you would expect someone of his rank to act, trying to defuse a situation with words as opposed to force.

**notorious bum** · 2015-05-03 04:24

Yes, this is the exact same captain who was out leading the march of 100's of officers who give no fucks once curfew hits. The video is an example of disproportionate enforcement of said curfew.

edit: I actually can't find where said captain was 2-3 nights ago in front of the mobster squad. For now, that individual claim is bonk, until I finish work and am able to sift through the Twitters.
