Driver Charged With Freddie Gray’s Murder Claims He Pleaded, But Is Still Haunted Every Night

The evolving narrative in Baltimore received a new wrinkle today when all 6 officers involved in the death of Freddie Gray were arrested and charged, to varying degrees, with murder.

The driver of the police van in which Gray sustained the injuries that ultimately led to his death faces the most jail-time, however.

Caesar Goodson is being charged with “second-degree ‘depraved heart murder.” He is the only officer involved in the incident to receive the charge.

However, a source close to the Goodson family has said that the officer repeatedly insisted that his fellow officers in the van restrain Gray—pleas that went unheeded.

This, ultimately, led to Gray’s death; medical examiners recently announced that he died from head injuries suffered while in transit. Prisoners are supposed to be restrained in order to protect against unnecessary rattling which, as in this case, can lead to serious injury.

The unnamed source and friend of the Goodson family spoke to Daily Mail UK:

“When he became irate Caesar called in and said ‘you have got to restrain him.’ That’s on the audio,” he said.

“They did, they restrained his legs. But when they did that they still should have put him in the seat belt.”

It is not about the guilt of these officers. It is about calming the mob.

The overcharging of these officers tells you how even the rats running
Baltimore are frightened of their own kind...the mobs.

Mobs cannot be calmed.

Inciting to riot should be a capital crime, even if it is done from many miles away, in a well decorated office.

I and many others rode buses all the way through High School and we never had seat belts through 1965. I rode in Army helicopters into cold and hot LZ’s and we never had any so called seat belt or restraint. I recall riding in the back of almost every Army truck from a 3/4 ton to a 2 1/2 with no restraints. Hell,I see kids standing up and yelling out the windows of school buses these days.
