The kid was murdered. The knife was a pretext (that means “pretend reason”) for the cops to get their hands on him. His real crime was attracting their attention and, to their point of view, disrespecting their authority. But there was no video and this a very blue state so this “incident” won’t be played up by the LHMFM like Ferguson and North Charleston.

When I lived in Baltimore in the 1990s, during the years of the multi-gang war over distribution of crack cocaine in the inner city, a murder a day among the dealers was a slow news day. The concept that the police were NOT involved in these drug wars, either as paid participants or paid non-participants (depending on the block, the week, and the gang), was a laughable idea.
Now one kid gets murdered by police and it is major news?
You guys underestimate the long-term, ongoing corruption of the Baltimore Police force.

Victims of police brutality should be paid out of the police pension fund, not the state’s general fund. Police would start policing each other, if it cost them personally.
