Hummm....the fact they had to stop on the way and secure his legs could easily substantiate what the prisoner is saying about him trying to injure himself.

It's commonly known among thugs to create injury and or make cops shoot leaves them opportunity to gain monetarily via law suits...even if nothing at all happened....to even say so means litigation, attorneys fees etc. so they settle...bingo it's payday!....and Ol’ Freddie was well acquainted with law suits with the crowd he hung with.

It would not be the first time a prisoner slammed his head against the inside of a transport vehicle after being arrested.

But nobody will ever believe it was an accident.

I can believe it....you’d be surprised what injuries you can do to the body when in handcuffs and leg cuffs while trying to create injuries to yourself by banking your body around an enclosed vehicle.....especially since you know you can sue and settle for some fast payout. A spinal injury doesn’t necessarily mean he broke his neck either.

Look this guy was for years well familiar with the tricks of the gangs he hung with and played them himself. I put nothing past this man....(BTW he isn’t a kid as they keep trying to make him out to be).....he had plenty of exposure to all the tricks of the trade when it comes to dealing with police. ...most of the thugs do.

They all cry “I can’t breath”...and need for medical attention. They are always thinking of how to get out of their situation...not that they got caught...

Watch this guy EAT the very “hold up not” he used in a robbery... while three cops are searching him...not one saw him do it......it’s all about destroying evidence....

nothing new......back in 1975 a poor little 22 yo white boy,me,was arrested in Ft Laud, beach side, for willful and wonton reckless driving after leaving the Ocean Mist.
Car was towed and later found out to be trashed,I was handcuffed,put in a van and drove around for a while, being bounced around inside that thing like a pin-ball.I asked the cops WTF was going on,I will never forget what they said”your the only thing right now,hang on”.
Good thing I was plastered and young or would probably been dead too.
They were laughing there assess off...

It doesn’t matter about THE FACTS or THE TRUTH. It gave the black gangs of ObamaLand a reason to riot and riot they will. You’d better arm yourself and prepare to defend YOUR fort. YOU are the ONLY line of defense for you and your family. My 12 gage tactical shotgun with double OO buck stands next to the bed, ready to use. My cousin is sheriff of our county. He said that unless a patrol car was near, it would take 30 minutes to dispatch one out to where we live. What would happen to you and yours in 30 minutes. Right, dead, looted, and gone by then.

Report: Freddie Gray may have intentionally tried to injure self in police van

Baltimore police are expected to finish their investigation Friday and turn the results over to the city’s state’s attorney office, which will decide whether to seek indictment. Six police officers, including a lieutenant and a sergeant, have been suspended.

“was intentionally trying to injure himself,”

I can understand that.

He could beat the crap out of himself and blame it on the police, knowing the race baiters would run to his "rescue".
I doubt his goal was to kill himself. He needed to be badly bruised. He was just trying to set up the police.

Yeah. I can easily see this happening these days. The MSM makes every black criminal a victim. All they'd have to do is report his version of the story and show the bruises. He'd become a national left wing hero overnight.

If this is what really happened, I'm glad he wasn't able to pull it off. We don't need any more MSM lies. They've done enough damage already.

A prisoner sharing a police transport van with Freddie Gray told investigators that he could hear Gray “banging against the walls” of the vehicle and believed that he “was intentionally trying to injure himself,” according to an investigative document obtained by The Washington Post.

The poor bastard thought he was headed for a 7 figure payout from the city and lost his life in the process.

It won’t matter to Hillary and the liberals. He had his hands up, was minding his own business, he was a gentle giant, etc. The facts won’t matter.

How about the guy (Gray) was having a SEIZURE.

If your spine was partially severed .. that possibility was probably the most accurate assumption you could make.

All the video I’ve seen shows Gray UNABLE TO WALK - proving he WAS INJURED PRIOR TO BEING PLACED IN THE VAN.

And .. those policemen who are protecting the person who took gray down during the chase is the most likely person who injured Gray. However, that does not mean it was a malicious hit .. maybe the training needs to be adjusted to avoid such an injury in the future.

Plus, how would the other person in the van possibly know Gray was “banging his head” against the partition .. since the other person COULD NOT SEE GRAY.

My first thought was: “I wonder how much the cops are paying this joker to make up this story?”.

My second thought was: I’ll wait and see how it develops.
