You think trying to kick his way out of the van might have had something to do with it too?

I read where the autopsy said the cord was 80% severed and a cervical vertebra was broken. Additioally, the report said the trachea was crushed. (I have only read that in one report). If Gray had surgery one week prior to the incident, a normal amount of restraint from the police could easily account for disruption of the surgically induced cervical fragment elevation to create this kind of injury to the spinal cord. I wonder why this was not made public earlier. At least prior to his burial. If true, it seems it would absolve the police.....there would be no way of knowing the surgery occurred 7 days prior to this takedown.

It may have, I don’t know as information on this is in short supply. As we learned in Ferguson, once the facts came out, it completely changed the narrative. I’m waiting a bit on this before I end up eating shoe leather.

Were drugs found on Gray or in his system? Why aren’t they releasing information about what actually happened? What was he charged with?

Good find....well done !

Except that it is rubbish. Jump to 144. Thread should be pulled

At this point, what does it matter?

[Churchillspirit]

Pity.

If he was running (or biking) away from the police, he was probably taken down rather hard when they caught him. This might have turned a neck injury into a fatal injury. He’s stupid for doing it, but I don’t know that this exonerates the cops.

[ArmstedFragg]

Wise move. The GodLike people are sort of notorious.

I’m starting to wonder if the Unseen Hand has started to realize it can’t control the monster it created so it’s trying to dial it back by floating this Intel.

As matter of law, they're right. These officers will likely be indicted for criminally negligent homicide (at minimum). They failed to follow procedure by not properly restraining the decedent. Death followed. It doesn't matter that the Gray was a criminal, that he had 18 prior arrests or that he allegedly had spinal surgery a week before.

I see that you don't use the word "allegedly" when saying that Freddie Gray wasn't retrained properly...but you do use the word allegedly when saying that he had spinal surgery.

Wait long enough, cold hard facts emerge.

Still, facts don’t matter to those with a nefarious agenda.

I have been looking for the arrest video again, the one were he was taken to the van. I noticed at the time this did not look right. He was not just letting them drag him, as sometimes happens. Something was wrong with his legs.

Paralysis?

You have to read all the way to post 144 before the “cold hard facts emerge” LOL!
This appears to be BS.

Wish the title would be changed.

...there’s no way he was running around at a riot....

***
The riots started after his death. He was not involved in a riot.
