What I heard was that the policy had changed on April 9th to require all passengers be restrained. They failed to do that. But the policy had just changed and they were not used to it.
I understand what you are saying about the driver not going back there, but it is not a brinks truck. I don’t think the risk is a lot less if someone else goes back there.
Where is this April 09 policy coming from?
I’d say the risk is a lot less if a number of police officers go back there.
And this is worse than a Brinks truck. Brinks trucks do not contain cargo that can kill you.
And okay, so the department policy says a prisoner must be restrained, and they failed to do that. That sounds like a violation of department policy as opposed to murder.
Furthermore, if a person is behaving is such a manner that makes it dangerous for you to attempt to restrain them, what do you do?
What if a person you are required to restrain is behaving like a complete lunatic and bites you on the arm and has AIDS because he is an intravenous drug user, and now you have AIDS because you tried to put them in a seat belt?
What do you do?
Did those police and that driver have access to head restraints that would prevent such attacks, and if so, were they successfully able to apply those restraints in such a way as to prevent those attacks thus allowing them to restrain Gray safely in a seat belt as per policy?
I don’t know. A person’s behavior can present all sorts of problems to that person’s safety as well as the safety of people around them.
I am looking real hard for murder and intent to kill here, and I am having a real hard time finding it.
