How much are the trials of the 6 indicted Baltimore police officers going to cost the City of Baltimore?

The City of Baltimore has already been devastated Finally, Morally, Culturally and Socially due to the Tragic Death of Freddie Gray! The Robbing and Looting Destroyed Many businesses there! Many people within the City lost their Jobs! With that being said, how is the city going to FUND all of these Trials?

The Tax-Payers will pay it, and my bet is that the result of the next five are going to be the same as the result of first one.

Maybe they should've thought about that before committing the act that landed them there. I know they have not been convicted, but even for the first cop who wasn't sent away, he's going back to trial again. Some cops get an air of invincibility, and that needs to be reined in. What sucks is that it's such a small amount that do these acts, the public thinks it's the whole department....much the same way in the ghetto's there might be 20 bangers there, but the entire ghetto is penalized for the actions of the few. Well if you see more traffic stops that normally get warnings now are costing money, there's' your answer. Traffic cameras are better known as Traffic Cash Cows. DC could write books on how that's done.

What does it matter the cost. It doesn't. The better question would be what would be the cost of not seeking justice.

I don't know and I do not care. Putting them on trial is really a farce and Political Correctness to extreme. This is liberalism on display and what we can expect if Hillary or Bernie is put in office. Like Detroit and liberal Democrat cities, Baltimore is going down the drain fast and we will be asked to bail it out too.

Baltimore won't pay for it, Maryland will.

Its been so long. I remember hearing from panelist, who were lawyers that they would not go to jail. With the Governor telling to let the protesters tear down the city. And then her lynch mobe mentality. Excuse me for my choice of words. They were more concerned with putting these people in jail rather then finding out why this happened and who was at fault. I have no idea how his knock could have been broken without a major accident. And punnish the person responsible.

As a Baltimorian working in the same neighborhoods where the riots occurred, I say the cost is worth it. While the case is lousy and Freddie Gray amounted to no good to society, despite his post humous lionization, policing in this nation has gone too far and this is a chance to take the battle to the Blue gang that enforces the erosion of civil rights.
