No wonder blacks see cops as an occupying force. If you are running ...
Where is that third grade school picture of him in his little white hoodie? That was the only picture we had of 300# Trayvon for weeks.
You know, look at that, other than the second-degree assualt early on, those aren’t violent crimes.
Looks more like a failure of the “war on drugs” to me.
I predict the liberals and race baiters will howl in protest about this information being provided.
Just as they said it was unfair and poisoned the well and all that, when they released the video of Michael Brown robbing that store right before his confrontation with the police, liberals here will say that Freddie’s long rap sheet will also poison the well of whatever “dialogue” Al Sharpton and his boys want to have with us about this.
How is any of this relevant to the (still-unanswered) question of how and why he died in police custody?
Me too. And his prior arrest record is irrelevant to the matter at hand.
There is more documentation on Freddie Gray and
any random dog than the impostor Indonesian that
is dismantling America with the help of the
COMPLICIT, ENABLING, TREASONOUS GOP (Give Obama Power party).
Perhaps to show that he was a dangerous repeat offender and not an innocent cherub? Just like Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin and hundreds of others.
Hate all of this rioting crap as much as the next person. But I do feel for this kid and his family - how the hell was his spine injured? Unscheduled stops in policy custody - why?
His arrest record does not justify his death while in police custody.
His death while in police custody does not justify looting and burning private business, nor assaulting the proprietors and employees thereof.
Guys, seriously. The guy dies of a broken back while in police custody, and you really think no one should be concerned or upset about that??
Yes, the guy may have been a thug, but if the police can beat a suspect in there custody to death, they can just as easily do it to any suspect for any reason.
The rioting is animals being animals, but if you think this is some sort of incident that everyone should not be concerned about, regardless of race, income, religion, etc then you are a certifiable nut.
We aren’t talking about a situation where a suspect resisted and was subdued by force, and got injured during that. By their own admission the guy put up no resistance when arrested, yet his back winds up broken while in police custody and he’s dead.
This is a serious matter, and to try to spin it as, well he was a thug, so its okay, is flat out ignorant.
“Police released a timetable of the events leading up to Gray’s arrest and death. He was seen at about 8:40 a.m. on April 12 on a street northwest of the city’s downtown. The officers approached Gray and he ran.”
Interesting essay about running from the police and what the police can do.

Is everything listed there against the law, a crime, or not? Don’t like the “war on drugs?” Talk to your representatives about changing the law. But the law is what it is and Mr. Gray repeatedly broke it. Those are felonies for the most part. Why was he not in prison? You and I would be imprisoned for one of those. And we can’t see his juvenile record.
Was this guy the only one in the back of the police van or were there other’s with him who had been arrested?
•March 13, 2015: Malicious destruction of property, second-degree assault
•September 28, 2013: ...unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance, second-degree assault, second-degree escape
Could potentially support the case that he was resisting arrest, trying to escape, or attacking police officers.
So he was nominated for sainthood by the Marxist Media.
Pray America is waking
So, you don’t have a problem with the police breaking the guy’s back.
It’s quite a rap sheet, but nothing that would justify the death penalty.
This is not Ferguson, where Officer Wilson appears to have been fully justified. These cases are all different.
But the point is, even if he was a “dangerous repeat offender” (and I’m not sure the arrest record supports that conclusion), so what? How is that relevant to the (still-unanswered) question of how and why he died in police custody?
