Studyguide from April 29 Lecture"So you don't really have — if you don't mind me asking — you don't really have no ending?"?--Adnan SyedDana Chivvis: “Spoc of the show.” Offered logical viewpoint The lack of luck is only a response to Sarah’s story. So the opposition viewpoint is only oppositional to one story.The day of the TV interview may not—and most likely was not the day of the murder. Adnan may have asked for a ride on the 5th instead of the 13th. This did not fit into Sarah’s story and it didn’t fit into the story that the prosecution built. HYPERLINK "" 3 Cases found here: The Above Average Investigations of Detectives Ritz and MacGillivarySabein Burgess was wrongfully convicted of murder in 1995 and spent 19 years in prison before successfully proving his innocence in 2014. Detective Ritz, Sergent Lehmann and Van Gelder were all involved with Adnan’s investigation and were part of this investigationExculpatory Evidence was provided by the son of Ms. Dyson (the murdered). It wasn’t used in court. Someone else confessed to the murder of Ms Dyson..Charles Dorsey stated that Plaintiff was doing time for a murder that he had committed. Dorsey repeated that admission several times in letters to Plaintiff’s criminal defense attorney and acknowledged that by doing so, he could face charges for first-degree murder.Nearly one year later, Defendant Ritz and another Baltimore police detective interviewed Dorsey but did no additional follow-up because, according to their report, Dorsey’s confession lacked details that the real killer would know.Baltimore:I contend that the cry of "black power" is, at bottom, a reaction to the reluctance of white power to make the kind of changes necessary to make justice a reality for the Negro. I think that we've got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard.--Dr. Martin Luther King Discussion of Criticism of David Simon for saying the following:Yes, there is a lot to be argued, debated, addressed. ?And this moment, as inevitable as it has sometimes seemed, can still, in the end, prove transformational, if not redemptive for our city. ? Changes are necessary and voices need to be heard. ?All of that is true and all of that is still possible, despite what is now loose in the streets.But now — in this moment — the anger and the selfishness and the brutality of those claiming the right to violence in Freddie Gray’s name needs to cease. ?There was real power and potential in the peaceful protests that spoke in Mr. Gray’s name initially, and there was real unity at his homegoing today. ?But this, now, in the streets, is an affront to that man’s memory and a dimunition of the absolute moral lesson that underlies his unnecessary death.If you can’t seek redress and demand reform without a brick in your hand, you risk losing this moment for all of us in Baltimore. ?Turn around. ?Go home. ?Please.Resonse from his Blog: "There’s a lot of room for white privilege to be cited as a legitimate critique of certain white behaviors and attitudes. But if we’ve now extended that phrase to address anyone who lives in a city that is being burned and looted and says, aloud, please don’t do this — then at that point there is no heft whatsoever to the claim of white privilege. It has been emptied of all substance and meaning."I wonder whether the police contingent deployed in riot gear made some mistaken moves or offered some provocations to those students. And of course the students themselves were not exactly seasoned when it comes to disciplined non-violent protest. Truth us, they used to give courses in non-violent disobedience before they send the troops into the fray during the Movement. No such orientation possible in these circumstances. My guess is that the trigger for the riot were provocations and miscalculations on both sides.You mean the fellow that has me telling everyone to go home, and doesn’t even mention the burning and looting? Do you think I should tailor my comments for the dishonest polemicists out there? And, oh yeah, he lives in London.Our city is at stake. To him it’s an intellectual parlor game.Again, I can’t help your perception. I can only tell you how I regard my own standing. I am a spokesman not for Baltimore, or for the protestors, and I certainly am not going to offer a great deal of apologia or rationalization for the rioters. I am speaking for myself. I live in Baltimore and I blog on topics that matter to me. I vote here. My child goes to school here. My friends and neighbors are here. I am vested in the city and its future and I am vested, presently, in the protests against the death of a fellow citizen in police custody.And when some of us leave the realm of civil disobedience and dissent and begin to riot, I am supposed to say nothing because, why? I’m white?Really? Nah, son. They told me that shit when the Baltimore Sun had me covering city crime, and when I went to Fayette Street to report The Corner and when I went to HBO with the Wire. I’ll be hearing it to the day I die. There are moments when we are all guilty of some interracial presumptions and arrogance, I am sure. Telling other people in my city that a riot is not a good thing and that if they can’t add to the dynamic of mass dissent without a brick, they should go home is not one of those moments. And if it is, then I could give a fuck about white privilege. At that point, white privilege is utterly devalued as a critique of anything.Ta-Nehisi CoatesNonviolence as ComplianceOver the past four years, more than 100 people have won court judgments or settlements related to allegations of brutality and civil rights violations. Victims include a 15-year-old boy riding a dirt bike, a 26-year-old pregnant accountant who had witnessed a beating, a 50-year-old woman selling church raffle tickets, a 65-year-old church deacon rolling a cigarette and an 87-year-old grandmother aiding her wounded grandson ....And in almost every case, prosecutors or judges dismissed the charges against the victims—if charges were filed at all. In an incident that drew headlines recently, charges against a South Baltimore man were dropped after a video showed an officer repeatedly punching him—a beating that led the police commissioner to say he was “shocked.”The money paid out by the city to cover for the brutal acts of its police department would be enough to build "a state-of-the-art rec center or renovations at more than 30 playgrounds." Instead, the money was used to cover for the brutal acts of the city's police department and ensure they remained well beyond any semblance of justice.Now, tonight, I turn on the news and I see politicians calling for young people in Baltimore to remain peaceful and "nonviolent." These well-intended pleas strike me as the right answer to the wrong question.?When nonviolence is preached as an attempt to evade the repercussions of political brutality, it betrays itself. When nonviolence begins halfway through the war with the aggressor calling time out, it exposes itself as a ruse. Think Riots have never caused change in America? Think Again Analysis: President Obama says violence doesn't spur progress, but history shows a more complex and troubling pictureby?Ned Resnikoff??? HYPERLINK "" \o "@resnikoff" \t "_blank" @resnikoffObama's desire to avoid the destruction of lives and property is hardly surprising, and is widely shared on all sides of the divide over the Michael Brown verdict.n a number of cases, the crisis caused by riots and property destruction has had a significant role in forcing authorities to respond to demands for political change.?Peaceful demonstrations — sometimes in the face of violent policing and provocation — were certainly a key feature of the civil rights era. So, too, were outbreaks of violence such as the 1965 Watts Riots in Los Angeles.The modern gay-rights movement may have won many of its recent victories at the ballot box and in the courthouse, but it was born out of an act of violent desperation when a 1969 raid a New York City gay bar, the Stonewall Inn, turned into a riot as crowds attacked the police. ................
