The race of the Baltimore police who have been charged hasn't been addressed by the mainstream media. However, the only officer charged with murder (2nd degree) is Caesar Goodson, Jr. Goodson was the driver of the van Freddy Gray was transported in. This is the obituary of Goodson's mother so he is black: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2012-08-17/news/bs-md-ob-mary-goodson-20120817_1_government-worker-fulton-baptist-church-human-services Porter is African-American as well. I believe the others are white. Rice has had mental problems in the past: http://blackchristiannews.com/2015/05/top-baltimore-city-police-officer-lt-brian-rice-who-was-suspended-following-freddie-grays-death-was-hospitalized-in-2012-over-mental-health-concerns/ http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/apr/23/baltimore-officer-who-chased-freddie-gray-had-pattern-of-violence-court-filings ........ The complete charges against all the officers, and the maximum possible penalties, are as follows: Officer Caesar R. Goodson Jr., 45 1. Second degree depraved heart murder (30 yrs.) 2.
