The comments made about Freddie Gray in this article is misinformation. You can’t claim cops “killed Gray” while he was in custody. The trial did not prove that. I 100% agree something fishy happened in the back of that police van BUT the investigation was botched and rushed by the city due to outrage and violence from the community. Does anyone remember the race & gender of the 6 officers involved in the Freddie Gray incident?

It Appears Wes More cares more about criminals then law abiding citizens. Moore see’s everything through the lens of identity. This is a common theme and current issue with the Democratic Party; they care more about the color of your skin, what’s between your legs and how that makes you feel rather than people’s wallets and safety.

According to this interview Moore was on board with the defund/reallocation of police funds. This shows just how out of touch Wes Moore is with the community. Crime is through the roof in Baltimore City and people are dying in record amounts. Wes Moore also believes that a raciest system is responsible for African American’s dying from Covid and breast cancer….where does skin cancer play into that?

Direct Quotes:

It's been five years since Freddie Gray died as a result of injuries he received while in police custody. And like Floyd, Gray's death sparked a series of protests, looting and grassroots movements that garnered both national and international attention. The sum of these violent and nonviolent activities will forever be known as the Baltimore Uprising. The cops who killed Gray were charged, just like Floyd's killers; however, they all won or had their trials dismissed. They received back pay and are all currently employed by the Baltimore Police Department.

Since then, Baltimore has continued to have problems –– going viral for all of the wrong reasons including a record number of homicides, department-wide police corruption, five new police commissioners in under five years, the "Healthy Holly" children books scandal with former Mayor Catharine Pugh that netted her over a half million dollars but was followed by stint in federal prison – just to name a few, leaving many people asking, "What's up with Baltimore?"

I was actually talking with the folks from LBS, Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle. We were having a conversation where I was like, "I'm very much aligned with what you're saying." It was like, "I don't want to abolish the force, because I think there's a necessity for having it." But, do I think that we put far too much weight and far too much pressure, and we expand this definition of policing in a way that's incredibly dangerous to communities? Absolutely. Do I think this excessive militarization that we have for policing is useful, or helpful, or cost-effective? Absolutely not.

It's a system that allows Black Americans to die at twice the rate from COVID-19 as white Americans. It's a system that makes it 42% more likely for a Black woman to die of breast cancer than a white woman who also has breast cancer.

What an anti-racist is, it's both identifying these realities and then being willing to do something about it.
