A lot of people are going batshit crazy over these indictments.

15. Yes, they finally

……for once lift the boot off the neck a little and so are to be congratulated? More of the same self-serving, self-satisfied denial.

At the same time, I'm worried that homicide indictments won't hold—because the defense can "prove" they had no intent. Would second degree murder, or negligent homicide stand a better chance of actually putting these guys in jail?

But will it change the poverty/job levels in Baltimore? No, in fact, indictments will allow those served by systemic racism to say, "Okay, job done. We gave you a sop and 'did the right thing', so now it's over." They just want to knock the wind out of the demonstrations.

But demonstrations and pressure need to move to the next level, no matter what happens with these six cops.
