On July 27, 2016 Marilyn Mosby agreed to drop charges on the remaining police officers after the first three officers failed to be proven guilty. Many people were relieved at this news, feeling that the police's lives had been strained enough form the ordeal of court hearings. Others, are angry as it seems once again police aren't held accountable for deaths that happened under their watch.

Gray, died on April 17 after he suffered severe spinal injuries during the time of his arrest on April 12. He was transported in a police van that made multiple stops before ending up at the police station. Upon arrest, and at the first two stops, Gray, who suffered from asthma, made requests for his inhaler which were all subsequently ignored or denied. He also, at multiple points asked for medical attention, which were also ignored and denied.

Gray was arrested for "running unprovoked" and for an "illegal switch blade" that was discovered on his body after being chased and handcuffed. State Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby's response to those claims, was that the knife was in fact a legal blade, and as Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said there "is no law against running."

Gray's death was ruled a homicide, and all six officers involved were suspended with pay. With the charges now dropped on the remaining police officers and the first three being acquitted, it would appear that Gray committed this homicide on himself. Even though, that is very obviously not the case.

In all three of the first cases, it was ruled that there wasn't sufficient evidence that the officers had done anything that was inherently illegal.

One of the officers, Lt. Brian Rice was acquitted when his attorney, that the choice of not putting Gray in a seat-belt was simply bad judgement, but not inherently illegal or "grossly negligent" in manner, which is needed for a charge of manslaughter.

Attorney Ivan Bates, stated that "Not one of these officers woke up wanting to do anything negative to anyone."

All six of the police involved still have to face administrative hearings, however four of them are already back to work in desk jobs. How, after the medical examiner can rule a death as homicide, and no one can have any repercussions other than having to appear in court, baffles me. Not once were these six officers not receiving pay, not once were they fully accused of accidental murder.

I do not believe that any of these officers had malicious intent when they forgot to put Gray in a seat-belt. I do not even believe they had malicious intent when they ignored his plea for an inhaler and medical help. I do however believe that they did their job wrong, and were negligent in providing the care he needed.

As a lifeguard, if a child drowned and I was not paying attention, I would immediately loose my job and also be charged with negligence. As a lifeguard, if a child fell on the playground and I did nothing to assist I would get fired and could be charged with negligence. The fact that these police officers face no repercussions other than having to work a desk job after someone died partially or fully due to their negligence is appalling to me.

People are supposed to be held accountable for their actions, whether it's accidental or malicious. The least of what should have happened to those officers, is loosing their jobs as officers, because they too have to be held accountable.

A homicide occurred, but no one's guilty. Go figure.
